1700 x will be better unless you need 40 PCIE lanes support. 

He currently has a 5820k but he said he wanted to get a new motherboard and was going to get a 5930k, I said if you need a new mobo too you may aswell get a 1700x

1700x defintely . the broadwell E lineup ( the 6 core SKU's in particular ) were pretty much made obsolete by ryzen . It's faster , cheaper , uses less power and runs on a new , future looking platform ( as opposed to x99 , which is dead)

 

AMD Ryzen R7 1700 (3.8ghz) w/ NH-D14, EVGA RTX 2080 XC (stock), 4*4GB DDR4 3000MT/s RAM, Gigabyte AB350-Gaming-3 MB, CX750M PSU, 1.5TB SDD + 7TB HDD, Phanteks enthoo pro case

1700X. It's less expensive and should provide him the performance he needs.

1700(No X)

Well the x is the thing that makes the chip more promising to achieve 1800X performance

Mention me if you want to summon me sooner or later

Note 10, S10, Samsung becomes Apple, Zen 2, 3700X, Renegade X lol

It's not guaranteed, and we are talking about 100Mhz at most. Every 1700(nonX) out there is at least at 3.8Ghz. The very best 1800X  can go up to 4.1Ghz if you hit silicon lottery. Ryzen R7 normalize around 4.0GHz give or take 100Mhz. 

IMHO not worth.

Well then the x is for the people that has extra cash like me when making a new system
