This is the X299 (the enthusiast/workstation platform) i9, not the 9900k. Would be weird if it was limited to 8 cores.

I'm only going for Intel because you have Adobe though, otherwise I would totally go with AMD TR

I appreciate the alternative option

Adobe performs much better with Intel CPUs iirc, correct me if I'm wrong though

If it's equally okay with AMD, then:

Iirc Adobe is much better with Intel, which is why I'm going with Intel.

TR is far better and cheaper, and I'd 100% go for it in this case if Adobe is indeed good with AMD

The difference in price doesn't really make Intel's performance increase worthwhile, and in some cases AMD is equal.

I agree, but iirc Adobe just performs much better with intel for some reason. X299 is stupid as fuck but it's the equivalent to TR so I'm using it in this case

Future upgrades = Ryzen

This ex-flagship board because there's a big rebate going on. It is EATX so the case has to be longer to hold it (which is fine imo, who knows how long of a graphics card and how many HDDs you might put in) If you can't benefit from that I can change it and the case.

Dont know how many drives you'll want, so they arent included. Only a SSD which all builds must have is there.

There's also the black and grey version of the Gigabyte 3 fan 2080, I just think a white card looks better in this silvery case with black background provided by the motherboard

White case is kinda prone to getting dirty, but I dont want a big black box either. That's why a metallic one.

 

Basically a build with limited RGB to give some bling but not turn it into a lighthouse. Proper cable management is the most important thing though

It's because of the iGPU? Ah okay, then you'd go with TR or 9900k @HeWhoDoesntKnowMuch

it's both because of Intel's architecture and iGPU. 9900k has both, cost half as much as the 9900X to use (so sum of motherboard and CPU price) and 80% the core count. Ryzen has neither but is upgradable.

this is a tad over budget, but you get an HEDT plattform with good upgrade possibilities.

order an adaptor Bracket seperate for the cooler. 

 

Ryzen/Threadripper will be the way to go if you want to do any upgrades in the future without major overhauls

 

 

edit: Error on the threadripper build. give me 15 to fix

 

Edit: error fixed

the following suggestions will be AMD systems. you will mostly be utilizing Adobe, except from Videoediting where Sony Vegas will be your choice.

this is a tad over budget, but you get an HEDT plattform with good upgrade possibilities.

Awesome suggestion! actually went and requested the first build you suggested as my computer of choice. I have some questions if you don't mind answering: 

  • I was wondering if you would advice getting a NVME with that build?
  • Tell me if this might be misguided information but how come the power supply you chose is only 750W, whereas videos of builds on YT get the 850W? Just curious.
  • If you were to upgrade the graphics card, this will be for a future purchase reference, what graphic card would you say is the most bang for you buck?--What would I need to change if I change the graphics card to have it running properly?
  • Although, I side with fans as a the source for the cooling system, how come you didn't suggest a liquid cooling system? Was it the price point? 
  • If you were to suggest upgrade(s) on the first build, which I already think its actually more than enough for my needs but my daredevil self wants to make it much faster lol, also lets say my budget for upgrading is $1000, what would you suggest?

Again, thanks for the inputs already!

Crucial P1 is quite cheap at the moment.

 

Though a cached Sata SSD is more than good enough imo.

750 watt PSUs are cheaper and yiu really didnt need more wattage than 750.

Depends on how much you are spending, but we dont have an overview over what products are to come in the future.

Just DDU the old drivers and reinstall the new ones. And perhaps uninstall the software suite. Like Geforce experience from Nvidia or Radeon Software from AMD.

What would the focus for these upgrades be?

 

The upgrades would probably involve getting more fast storage, a better GPU, and maybe Threadripper 3000, or 4000. Which will both be supported in the x399 mobo.

Solid advice. I guess I forgot to put up there with the questions is, how come you chose a fan cooling system instead of liquid cooling? I know liquid cooling is only beneficial for overclocking the processor but wouldn't I need more/better cooling if I were to upgrade to higher end CPU? Needless to say I am all for the fan system, just want to know your side about the topic. 

 

Also, about the NVMe, you think the MP500 would be overkill for the build? Or the P1 1TB with this build be way more than good enough for photo and video editing and gaming? Who am I kidding, it probably is way more than I need lmao I mean it already is a pretty penny for it

Aircooling is cheaper and often better than cheao AIOs. U kess you are spending a lot on AIOs you will end up getting louder cooler that is more prone to failures.

The P1 is good enough.

The cooling solutions i used will be good enough. Though not for overclocking higher wattage parts like the 2990wx. 

 

The Ryzen cooler however is more than good enough for overclocks
