Thanks! I saw this at first and I was like an i7-8700 is worth $389? But then I checked and noticed that it was from Canada,  sorry for not clarifying, but I changed it to USD so its all good.

ryzen 2 is coming out very shortly and it looks very promising and close compared to the 8700k for a few bucks less, i would do some more HW on that and personally i would wait for next gen GPU's that should be coming out this year

A lot of CAD programs actually are quite single threaded.

 

New GPUs are coming but it's still quite a ways. If OP wants to wait, sure, but otherwise na

yeah, but he has the bigger budget and was looking at the 8700K which is nearly $100 more expensive than the 2600X

 

honestly he should be fine with a quad core or even just an i5 (im sitting on a i5 4690k on my desktop, no hyperthreading )by your logic; but he has the budget to go overboard in that reguard, but if i were him i would still wait for next gen gpus to come out, they are coming sooner than you think

 

at the very least the ryzen 2's are coming out next week so it should be worthwhile to at least see what the ryzen 2600X can do, it even comes with a wraith cooler so it should be a pretty solid package with that said compared to the stock cooler of an 8700k

Just to add, unless there's a specific reason you chose the stinger, I would probably go for the z370m pro4, which has 4 ram slots, so that you could also go dual channel. Ends up a little cheaper too

8700k will definitely be a good 10-20% ahead tho. 2600x will be cheaper for sure but what better is there to spend it on?  

 

AFAIK it sounds like new GPUs is August. Not horribly far away, but still a decent distance out. If OP wants to wait for it then sure, it just seems a fit far out IMO

thing is, the stinger's VRMs are much, much better than the pro4, and i pretty much only went M-atx because it was pretty damn cheap
