2700x or 1900x

[Mr.Veink]

I realized that the 1900x is now only 150$. So I started thinking, which on haves better price to performance, 1900x(150$) or 2700x(190$)?

don't forget about your $300 X399 motherboard

[Mr.Veink]

I forgot

also power consumption, if you are somehow in a apartment or something where power is flat price regardless of consumption and you could find a reasonably cheap x399, yeah threadripped could be fun, but even if you find a reasonably priced board if you are paying for power you're likely to notice

ontop of that you'd likely want to be running quad-channel ram, so 4 good sticks, with 2700x you could just get 2 good 8gb sticks
