Hi all...

This is the first time i'm writing on this forum and I need your help...

My everyday PC have died (it's 5++y/o) and I want to buy a new system...

What i already have from the old system that i want to keep is:

1. Cooler Master Advance HAF 912

2. 4pcs 4TB WD Green HDD (it got all of my stuff in it)

and the rest i will need to buy, but here's the headache... I live in malaysia and the price for Ryzen 2700X is (RM 1319.00) and Threadripper 1900X is (RM 1359.00).

I mostly use this system for my everyday use, gaming when I'm bored (not online games), watch anime and some other stuff...

My problem is what should i get? The price only RM40.00 difference... Any good advice (especially from Linus)

 

Thanks For your Help

P.S. Not going to overclock

the threadripper motherboards are a lot more expensive. thats the only downside to threadripper.

imo don't get threadripper if you don't specifically need it.

threadripper introduces a lot more things than just a different socket and more expensive motherboards. you also need to factor in inter-die latency and the performance hit of this in gaming, and more quirks like that.

imo the safe bet would be a Ryzen 2700, tough it might be better to wait for the 3xxx series to be released.

Threadripper while looking cool and having a lot of performance potential, is imo not the way to go when ryzen is enough for you.

A decent AM4 mobo is like 100-150 bucks, threadripper boards start at 300, that's a big price difference.
