New build indecisive please help

[Skylinegodzilla]

So I'm planing to build a new computer in December 

but there's so many choices in parts. 

Ill have about 4500$ NZD and I've been looking at lots of different types of builds 

 

I want it for gaming but I also do 3D rendering/animation and video editing as well.

and I will probabley get a 4K screen in the next year.

 

I have allredey decided threadripper is probabley not the best way to go.

 

right now I'm trying to decide if I should do a 8700k build or a 7820x build

for the 8700k the pricing for the CPU and mobo is about 900$ NZD

for the 7820x the pricing for the CPU and mono is about 1500$ NZD

 

The rest of the parts I'm looking at is

coolermaster comos case 700$

Samsung 1TB m2 SSD (around 800$)

16 GB of trident z RGB ram (around 400$) I'll upgrade to more latter on if I need to.

 

Posabley gtx 1060, or 1070ti or maybe even somthing from the rumered 11 series that might or might not come out at the end of Q3 but the price of a 1060 is 540$ while 1070ti is 900$

 

and then just the generic fan cooling and power supply and ect.

 

so with that in mind I'm trying to decide witch of the CPUs would be best to go for? I'm also concerned about the pcie lains where the 7820x has 28 of them while the 7600k onley has 16. There for if my m.2 uses 4 of those the most my gpu can have is 8 or 4 if I decide to sli latter on and I don't know what kind of proformance impact that may have on the overall system.

 

also after watching the 1920x1080 video I'm now also worried about bottlnecking the system.

SLI is garbage not worth the price

wait till end of summer to see if intel throws 9 gen

Well psu take a good one and fan with 8700k take a noctua / dark rock

What program do you use for 3D rendering/animation and video editing?

By december Intel's new Z390 and I9 platform for mainstream should be out and that would give you 8 cores and 16 treads instead of the 8700k.

And that could have a been impact on you're performance if you're using Adobe premiere as it just got support for rendering with the IGPU something only the mainstream platform(z370/z390 later) has and not the HEDT platform(x299).

As for your concern about PCIE lanes, most main stream mobo support a GPU in 16x and two SSD's with performance getting hit even with samsung 970 evo's in raid.

If you in the future would want SLI and 2+ SSD's the 7820x would be fine however going one step up and getting the 7900x with 44 PCIE lanes would make more sense also considering the Z390 platform coming soon. 

My two cents on it

While an i7-8700K only has 16 PCIe lanes, the z370 chipset supports up to 24 additional lanes for a system total of 40. Motherboard M.2 connectors generally use chipset lanes. This leaves the 16 cpu lanes open for gpu and other addon cards.

 

Unless the plan is to add a bunch of hdd, I'd suggest a different and less expensive case. Perhaps something from the Fractal Design Define or Meshify lines. 

 

SLI is becoming less popular. Unless the plan is have multiple gpu for rendering, it probably isn't worth worrying too much about hosting a second gpu.
