3500€ gaming/streaming pc theorycrafting need advice (long post)

[okcnaline]

Allright, point taken. But do we normal pc users really use it? Think not.

not the point here , you challenged me and and I answered you. . you even did not stop and tried harder about USB3.1 can do it but not implemented yet which is also false ...

point taken eh ? you dont even like to say "Thank you" when some one teaches you something new to you huh?

next time dont challenge fast and think you know it all .. When some one correct an info to you , research it before challenging him. at least Thank him for teaching you.

okay ? . have a nice day.

and the one who can pay 3500 euros ($4000) for a PC , will enjoy daisy chaining Thunderbolt devices as he wish. I dont think a $4000 rich PC buyer is a normal user.

OP may be buying a 3500 EUR build but if you read above replies he isn't even going to need daisy chaining Thunderbolt devices...

Stick to your facts please, folks and keep it friendly. The OP gets no help from an internecine argument.

Dude same.forums, what's improper with 'point taken'? Just means that yes, I accept ur point. Not like I get what you are saying but u r still wrong.
LOL, chill out.

My previous reply may have been a bit harsh cuz, really, daisy chaining tb devices? If it was case fans or led strip, u definitely have a good reason. And I am sure OP is not a storage critical user with multiple hdd. He just needed it for high speed transfers, u will realize it if you read the posts again.

Hope we are on the same page now.

I may make use of daisy chaining in the future but not anytime soon rn.
Thunderbolt allows both daisy chaining and high speed transfers anyway(or at least thats my knowledge of it) so thats why I would like to have the option.

I'm still searching for more information about the CPUs and I determined that unless I'm a major in computer engineering I'll never understand fully the context of the differences.
I tend to stick with a "higher price must mean better quality" but I've learned that its not always the case, especially with electronics, and especially with Intel.

Since x299 appears to be horrible because of this "key" business, so 8700k looks like the best option, but I'm still wondering if I should opt for another one.
Surely not one that provides less performance, so 1700x is out of the picture. I may use it in a second streaming box in the future tho.

Keep in mind you can daisy chain any device not only hard disks devices. This can include anything from docking stations , to external devices , to Monitors ... all using just one cable. can be mixed as well different devices .

but they are expensive so only for rich people .

as for the CPU choice , Get intel what ever you choose .

have a nice day. I am out

I found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5w3psElwew of a streaming benchmark of a 8700k, playing GTAV; the CPU hits 100% workload on all threads, and the game has 100 fps, but GTA is a very optimized game, how the CPU work with, lets say, PUBG, which is a really non-optimized game? Mh.

Game optimization and cpu usage are 2 exclusive things. A badly ported/optimized game will give you less fps with the same usage and a new patch would maybe increase it. There won't be a drastic change in cpu usage.
Some of the game graphics features can also add up to the cpu usage. Gta v with a few options dialed down will report lower cpu usage.
