Planning to jump to Ryzen

[mikedrewsmy]

Currently have 2 rigs. 1 with 9900K + Z390 Godlike and the other is an 8086K + Z370 Godlike.
I'm planning to sell the 8086K + Z370 Godlike since 9900K is basically an incremental upgrade from the 8086K but of course i want to keep it as it is the best.
 

So can anyone recommend me the best motherboard and Samsung B-die ram for the 2700x that money can buy.

If you want best of the best, you might as well wait for Zen 2 to come out in 2019.

 

If not, mobo recommendation:

Asus Crosshair VII

 

RAM: how much? I personally recommend the Trident Z RGB kit, but only because I have it.

why such a expensive mobo? the pro carbon series is great too and has a lot of rgb (headers too), can be used with watercooling and there's also a x470 version of it. if not, asus might be a better choise for expensive mobo's

I agree with @Dissitesuxba11s don't bother getting current Ryzen stuff with systems like that. Wait for Zen 2.

I think you will be disappointed and since money is no object step up to 2990x or something in the overclockable epic server line and get max cores

This guy pre ordered the 2080ti's... Multiples. Price-Performance is not a factor here

I think the 16 core threadripper is the sweet spot for people not doing heavy productivity work like rendering that can use the 2990x. I don't know if they would even beinfit from 16 cores tbh.

Before I forget to say, consumer intel cpus only have 16 pci lanes. Treadripper has 64

I hope for a larger product stack for enthusiast with ryzen 3 - looking at you asus!

already have a 2990wx

I own an MSI one and I can say it's poorly maintained, and has a lot of bugs. For intel CPU's everything was fine
I won't probably buy a new MSI one for AMD CPUs

damn I would start trying to build retro stuff then for a challenge it sounds like you have all the bases covered.

that or I would start going against der8uer and kingpin for records.

i might go with a 1997/1998 retro build
or a 486 instead

what about the worlds most powerful arcade and repurpose the 8086 rig into a cabinet and it running everything just make it the ultimate Game Center full of emulators?  that sounds like a challenge.
