So I'm looking at getting a new MoBo for the upcoming AMD Ryzen 3950x.
(and ah what the heck, might as well a whole new build alltogether, been a few years)
First question: Is there a big enough difference between this $500 MSI Prestige here and this MSI MPG Gaming Edge here to justify the $300 difference?
Happy to pay the extra $300 but ONLY if it's a justifiable gap in features/performance.
Intended components are the 3950x, a few SATA drives, an M.2 2GB for the OS, maybe 64GB RAM, RTX 2080ti, no special cooling or any other special needs or anything... Usage: love me some gaming, but main priority is rendering video in Premiere and After Effects while multitasking with a bunch of other stuff. What do you think, is there much need for the $500 MoBo vs the $200?
OR...
Is there another Motherboard I haven't thought of that you think would be even better for then 3950x?
Thanks in advance,
