If I was to look at any CPU to upgrade my 2066/x299 system it would be the 9940x. 14 cores and still a decent base clock. In Australia, it's still a $1k cheaper than the 9980XE. 

I built my x299 system in Feb 2018. And have been happy with the 7820x. 

 

I have to agree with others though. The prices are incredibly high and the value for money is not there. Unless there is something specific in the x299 chipset that you need, I would seriously consider other options. A high end Ryzen system will give you pretty much all the same functionality. 

 

i havent thought of the 9940x ill take a look,and this isnt a build for budget or even necessary really i have the money and just want different builds for personal reasons,heck i may be doing a stream about them idk yet,but more pc's the better lol thats why i said "collection" not as a collectors stand point but more of the idea of just having these different pc's around...i laready have several other older builds i have completed for the collection so now its on to modern stuff...i may do ryzen 3900x and a 3rd gen threadripper just to have them....i have plenty of money to burn so this is what i want to do.
