Its pretty budget if you ask me, but everyone's priorities and budgets are different. 

He says he goes for cost/performance, a $300 board doesn't perform any better than the $200 board that's available, talk about contradiction.

No, you misunderstand, again. The cost / performance ratio was in the context of the CPU ONLY, not the motherboard.

As for the computer's work use:

-Remote IT support, lots of LogMeIn type stuff and some network administration (sonicwall stuff) 

-Remote server management via MSTSC or LMI

-I'm using ConnectWise, a web based IT management solution (not resource intensive)

-Configuring and provisioning of BDR's and NAS devices

-Documentation and procedural write-ups (i.e. instructions or "how to" guides) for specific hardware 

-Some minimal excel stuff, but word is something I use quite often

-Outlook 2019

 

For entertainment purposes: 

-overclocking, fine tuning and tweaking

-benchmarking

-gaming but not every day

-internet forums (computer, political, automotive, marine related)

-youtube, etc

With this kind of usage anything above 6 cores would be a waste anyway imho. You wouldn't use them anyway. Considering all your other requirements and standards, cpu choice make sense.

Just curious, what do you use your computer for?

Blender, Premiere Pro, a bit of coding and some gaming also some remote IT support occasionally, but not that much these days. besides the obvious things like youtube, forums and etc. Like to do some overclocking also. I use a few different machines, depending on what I'm doing.

Tbh, Reading through this thread from the perspective of a very mildly knowledgeable, fairly new to PC building and overclocking teen, has been quite entertaining and informative. It is quite obvious there is more i need to learn but am happy to do so. also i don't get why everyone needed to start attacking you about your choice, seeing as everyone has different use cases and needs. I personally went Ryzen since for the most part the games i run are more CPU bound than GPU, and i do some light streaming/video editing. Games like Arma 3, Escape From Tarkov, Rainbow six siege, etc. Running these games on my previous 4 core Intel i5 6th gen wasn't the most playable, except for R6. The 2700x, being the newest mainstream Ryzen chip at the time, was a good choice for me. But since your tasks are different it makes sense for you to choose a different processor. Plus the build looks amazing!

unless you never close just move it to another monitor or desktop till you need again.

Da vinich resolve 16, coding, VMs, gaming.

all with way to many firefox tabs open. (I'm in college with lots of it being online I often sit at 10-20 tabs for just school. + another 10-20 for personal stuff)

I need more ram, 16gb isn't enough
