Hi
I'm new to the forum. Hope you are all well. I wasn't sure which forum was most applicable to post this in, so mods, feel free to move it if necessary!
I am on the verge of buying a set of new components for my new build. They are:-
AMD - Ryzen 7 2700X 3.7 GHz 8-Core Processor
ASRock - X470 Taichi ATX AM4 Motherboard
Samsung - 970 Evo 500 GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive
be quiet! - SILENT BASE 601 | ORANGE ATX Mid Tower Case (purchased)
be quiet! - Pure Wings 2 140 61.2 CFM 140mm Fan
EVGA - SuperNOVA G2 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
Microsoft - Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit (purchased)
Memory - still to determine
GPU - waiting for the GTX 2060
I'm going to be using this PC as a multi use PC including non professional audio workstation, non professional video rendering (Vegas and maybe premiere), competent but not too serious gaming, and everyday desktop use. I have a max budget of £2000 but would like to spend less.
Before I pull the trigger on my shortlisted parts, I wanted to ask you guys some advice about AMD and future proofing with regards to CPU and motherboard.
How many more AMD CPU's are likely to be released for the AM4 socket?
How many more AMD CPU's are likely to be released for the TR4 socket?
At the moment, I'm torn between opting for a B450 with R7 1800X or 2700X / X470 with 2700X / X399 with TR.
I don't really need the performance of the AMD TR, at least not presently. But I'm wondering about if it would be worth spending a bit more now and go for the threadripper (although it might be overkill at the moment) because it will allow more options for upgrade say in 3 or 4 years time ?
Alternatively I could go for something more budget orientated now like B450 with 1st gen Ryzen 7 and then think about new motherboard and CPU in 3 or 4 years time, when (and if) the need arises.
So... Stick with my current selection
or.....go cheaper with the B450 and 1800X
or.....invest now with X399 and TR1950X
In addition I would be grateful for recommendations for best top end B450 MB, best mid-range X470, best top end X470, best budget X399, best mid-range X399.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Paul
