So my last PC was a 3930k with a Rampage IV Extreme Dead from a leaked AIO cooler. Now i have been waiting for ryzen to release. So i have come down to

Processor: AMD R7 1700x vs 6850k
Motherboard: ??? vs Asus X99-A II ATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard
Memory:  Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4-2666 Memory

 

So my biggest limiting factor is PCIe lanes or sata drives? I stream games like Battlefield 4/1 Overwatch and other games. Now with the 3930k i hit the limit of what i could stream at 1080p @ 30fps or 720p @ 60fps and still look good.(not pixels all over) I also save the recording at the same time, my 2tb drives tended to stay 60-80% full with uncut video and a 3 tb drive with done stuff on it and the other has most of my movies i got saved. The SSDs are 128GB for OS and 256GB Programs and 960GB for games. I do have a few drives i plug in and clone my stuff every few months so i do not lose a lot.

 

So do i spend more on the 6850k and not get a GTX 1080 but for sure not hit some limit of PCIe with all my drives running or a risk a r7 1700x and get a GTX 1080 and find a limit on the pcie with my drives? As i said i have drives not in but i do use but I already looking for more space so been look at PCIe raid cards for more drives.

WAIT FOR PROPER BENCHMARKS STOP ASKING THESE QUESTIONS SO SOON YOU WILL GET NO PROPER RESPONSE OTHER THAN HYPE ._.

Its not about  the speed of the CPU it is about the limit of how many drives i can put in it.

well for your use id get a 7500 or a lowerend ryzen part. No need for the extra cpu power, and you don't need the extra lanes.

 

Any ways both am4 and z270 have over 20 lanes for storage and other uses. If you want more sata you can get get a hba and have 1000's of drives if you want, there is no limit to the max drives.

 

You won't have a pcie limit, get a 6800k or a i5 7500/ i7 7700k or ryzen.

Invest in a decent separate NAS/Server with some large drives.

 

For your gaming system, get a couple of 2TB NVMe M.2 for streaming & recording. Use one for the system as well. No need for anything fancy, just a motherboard that supports two NVMe M.2. I'd suggest you look at an i7-7700K or, when they are actually released and independently benched, a comparable ryzen.

OK, thanks for the time. If any else has any info or ideas please add it.

 

So now what i am waiting on is benchmarks let just hope some one does a like a FPS streaming benchmark, as i said i hit the limit on my old 3930k and before it died i was looking at a 2nd pc for a streaming pc. As my goal is 1080 at 60fps and for it not to like like someone toss glitter all across the screen as my play style is fast and twitchy movments
