Im thinking about ditching my Intel setup (currently Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 7 with 7800X CPU) for an AMD Ryzen 9 setup. I was going to just upgrade the CPU in my Intel motherboard, but it mentioned with Gigabyte it won't be compatible with Optane drives which is what I use as the main drive, if I get the new 10,000X series CPU for Intel. So it seems I'd have to replace my motherboard regardless. Anyway the AMD board Im looking at is a Asus Prime X570- Pro and the CPU Im planning to get is the Ryzen 9 3950X. I need a motherboard with lots of PCI-E slots and not many of them today have that many anymore. I currently use the Nvidia 1030GT video card, the Intel Optane 900 SSD drive in a PCI-E slot, a video capture card in a PCI-E slot, a 1394 card in PCI-E, and lastly a IDE card in a PCI-E slot. So I need 5 slots, 3 of which can be x1 speed.
My questions are- will all those PCI-E slots be active with my setup? Also this motherboard has a HDMI out port, so would I be able to ditch my 1030 video card and just use the onboard motherboard graphics? Or would I need a G CPU to use that option? Are the stock CPU coolers ok to use?
Lastly do you think the Ryzen 3950X cpu will be able to keep up to a new 10,000 series X series CPU, depending on how many cores? I was looking at the 12 core.
