i have built many computers, im just stuck because i have the money together to build any computer i just dont know what to build. any ideas?
 


just a cool linux machine, i want it to look cool too
 


well yes but i dont cant decide what platform. amd or intel, which socket. i want your opinion
 


We need your budget. "Cool" does not give a budget. For more budget oriented systems, Ryzen is a good way to go. For normal streams, Intel is, but here Ryzen can play the part equally well.

Are you gaming? Workstation? Streaming? Linux system does not tell much.
 
Not sure dude, if you have built many, sure by now you have a personal preference. Some people like Intel, some like AMD. I hear AMD give u more bang for the buck, but I personally stick with Intel, stay with the tried&true no thinking. A Ryzen CPU is said to required W10, which would mess me up 'cuz I still on W7 and no plan to change. All personal dude.

My next project, another passive cooled, zero noise, super cool cube box from Broadcom, case alone usd$300, can't game on that puppy though.
 


i dont care about the price, it could be an i9 for all i care, i just want a pc that performs and kills. money is not a problem
 


Still not answering the question, but sure. Each build below has an OS, Monitor, and Peripherals (Mouse, Keyboard, Headset, Mouse Pad)

Considering you have a "lot of money" and want bang for the buck, consider waiting for the next gen GPU's from Nvidia. If you do not want OS, just skip it on the list.
 


Alright, i have ordered everything from the threadripper build and i will stick with my titan graphics card for now
