But I still wonder if the 1700x is worth it over a 1700... I mean is there a difference beyond extende frequency range or clock speed?

I would be straight up far more concerned with the motherboards that support Ryzen, even though I built my PC some months ago so I can't build again for a long while except for clients.

 

It is interesting that their base clocks are noticeably lower in comparison to Intel in exchange for increased parallel processing potential and energy efficiency, but I would feel that having so many threads at the ready would be underutilized if the chipset doesn't have enough PCIe bandwidth to make the best use of beyond gaming performance, on top of the consideration that utilization of multiple threads is up to the kernel/operating system or the developers of the software.

 

With that many cores, I could just plan to make it primarily a small/mini virtualization and VPN server (due to lack of non-ECC RAM), but that needs at least 1 gaming and 1 workstation GPUs with dedicated x16 speeds, probably add-on cards based on situation, and an M.2 for the main OS and its software necessary for the roles.
