May I ask why you might need a $1000 motherboard

 

[Dedayog]

WTF is that motherboard?!

 

That memory.... what?

 

Are you serious with this?

[Epimetheus]

Are you sure ram that fast is viable? Maybe you could get 32gb of slightly less fast ram

[Guest]

You don't need a $900 board even for a 3950X. The Ram also makes no sense. Just get a 3200 kit and overclock it, unless you can find a 3600 for the same price.

i mean... it actually makes a difference, unlike that 1000 dollar mobo

You may want to actually do research into what you need and what does what.  Motherboards have a minimal level, after which they bring no more value.  

 

3950X?  16 core, 32 threads?  What kind of programming do you do?

[Guest]

If you can live with the AMD blower cooler then you should be looking at the RX 5700 XT over the Vega 64.

Well, I already own the Vega...bummer.

oh, i see

 

that's fine, it's a good card

 

but you can tier down to that prime p i showed you, it's the same vrm as the maximus xi hero

Ignore my point above then  The Vega 64 is still a pretty good card anyway, and you have the best version.

[Dedayog]

These are good threads with good info you don;t seem to have paid attention to:

If you're already spending that much, its worth it to go up to 3600mhz cl16 ram if you ask me.

Not unless you can get it for the same price as 3000 - 3200. You can just overclock the ram.

A 3200mhz cl16 kit WONT do 3600mhz cl16 with reasonable voltage. It would struggle to do 3600mhz all together and if its able to do 3600mhz the timings would be at least 18-22-22-34.

Who cares about CL16 ? You are looking at $268 for the cheapest 3600 CL16 kit.

 

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/products/memory/#s=403600&L=30,160&sort=price&page=1

 

Compared to about $75 for a 3000 CL16 Kit.

 

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/products/memory/#s=403000,403200&sort=price&Z=16384002

 

So nearly $200 difference for what ?

Or he can just get 3600 CL18 for about $100

Up to him, but paying $268 isn't a good deal. 

[ultra99]

I think I got everything set except for the motherboard. I'm getting G. Skill 3200mhz ram.

 

For motherboards, it's down to

or

The Taichi is cheaper, but I read that the VRM on the Master is better and I don't mind the price, would that be a good choice? Thoughts?

 

[Dedayog]

 

What CPU did you settle on?

 

Those motherboards are stupidly expensive, even for Canada.

I'm going to use 2700x for now, but planning on getting the 3900x or 3950x when on sale.

Get a good B450 board, they've been shown to work fine with 3900X.

 

3950X?  You need all 16c/32t?  Get the Master then.

Are you planning on upgrading to Ryzen 3000 if not, then I would highly suggest not getting an x570 board.  Everything about this list seems fine, some tiny tweaks here and there but this is solid. And I will repeat, considering the price of this computer, 25% of the budget should not be on the motherboard. A good/great motherboard is anywhere from 100 to 250 (USD) so spending the extra money, for many people does not make a lot of sense. So unless you really need a certain set of specs and that X570 chipset, that 100(usd)/150(cad) more is just "unnecessary" to say the least.
