New gaming rig

[Elevenbgrunt]

This will be my first new build since 2010 when I got hone from Iraq. That computer was taken last year in Louisiana floods 3 days after I bought my home. So what kind of starts are best to look for in gaming rig. Atm what in looking at is the following:

 

Cpu: threadripper 1900x cause I want clock not all those cores. Do I really need more then 8?

 

Box: thermaltake p7

 

Psu: looking at thermaltake or corsair Idk which yet probably a titanium or platinum and 1000w min

 

Gpu: vega nova if it ever releases Idk if their is a release date atm tell me if you heard of one.

 

Monitors: prob one ultra wide 30"+ and two 24" that will be inverted on sides lookong at samung and LG

 

Motherboard: zenith extreme x399

 

Ram: stuck on this either dominator 64 (4x16) and add 64 more later as upgrade or vengeance led

 

Storage: 2 x m.2 probably Samsung 512gb

 

Liquid cooling from ekwb

 

I was looking at this primarily for gaming so I was looking at over clocking cpu. I'm also stuck on with as much ram as ill have do i need to put a liquid cooling block on it? Same question for m.2. I'm also making it upgradeable I.e. only using half the dimm slots to double ram later as well as add another gpu or 2 was gonna start with only 1 maybe 2. Also putting the 1900x threadripper in now and maybe later upgrading to a 1950 but not sure if ill ever do that cause for gameing I feel I wont use the cores and the base clock speed is lower.

 

Thoughts?

That CPU isn't for gaming, its for workstations. Get a 1700 or 7700k. Get 16gb of ram, vega also isn't meant for gaming, so get yourself a 1080 or 1080ti.

Thats what I was originally gonna do but I'm afraid that stuff will be obsolete too quick. I wish amd and intel would have a war over gaming designed gpu's and cpu's lol

The CPU will never be good for gaming, games just cant use those cores, games prefer low core count and high GHz, not the opposite. If you want to get AMD get a 1700. Also quote me so I can see the reply

Ive always been partial to amd but with that generation of cpus it looks like intel 7700k was better and with the 1080 ti which is what I was gonna build b4 I heard about threadripper and vega and although it wasn't tailored to gaming I figured it could still get the job done be then the older gen could. Or is that wrong?

Its a really bad idea to buy thread + vega or either for gaming. Get a 7700k or 1700 + 1080ti for gaming.

Th think ill go 7700k with 1080ti it will probably also drop cost with new stuff out the last gen will prob drop in price a lil

make sure to get 16gb of ram, 64gb wont be useful.

So 16 gb and higher clock? Or lower cas latency?

If you're going for the 1700, get 3000 mHz+ ram, if you're going for intel just go with 2400+

I was thinking 7700k with 2x 1080 ti thermaltake p7 with asus maximus 9 extreme 2 x m.2 500 gb ssd and 16 gb (4 x 4 gb) 3200 dominator platinum and a 1200 watt psu with custom loops 1 one cpu and mobo and one for the gpus trying to decide if I want to delid cpu since its a 7700k and I hear it drops temp when oc by 30 deg
