How did you jump from a 7700K to threadripper?

What's your budget/monitor set up and what are you using your PC for.

I have Samsung s24D590L 1080p I just brought 

gigabyte g1 gaming gtx 1080 video card

I want to

playing games

watching videos

play music 

Netflix 

I like to play with vm's

photo editing 

bit home video editing 

because at the moment I have a Q6600 with 8gb ram and want to upgrade but make it futureproof as much as possible

Is that display only 1080p 60hz?

Didn't mention a budget, but you probably just want an R7 1700 in that case, mostly for the video editing part, and VMs.

For future proofing, the AM4 platform will be supported until 2020 and provides more upgradability. Get the ryzen 7 1700 mainly for the video editing and the VMs. Threadripper uses the X399 platform which is more expensive and is for more high-end consumers who need the extra cores/threads for heavier workloads.

How you go from 7700k to Threadripper? Get yourself a 8600k or 8700k as soon as they hit shelves. I love Ryzen myself, but I can see you're not worried about budgeting. Either of those CPUs will floor Ryzen in gaming, especially since you have a 1080.

2 1080tis are totally faster, and that's much a nicer case, are your SSDs NVME?

[TahoeDust]

If you are a gamer with $$, 8700k is what you want.  That new hotness.

[fatmanpeters]

what I want is to be futureproof really
