Folks - personal opinions are welcomed (i.e. given my circumstance what would you do and why).
I have an opportunity to upgrade my main system - Ryzen 2700x. I don't know whether I should upgrade to a 3900x or 3950x. Obviously faster/more cores is better however is it worth the extra $$/credit card bill or might there be regrets with not getting the best?
My uses are as follow, I play a lot of DCS World and FPS games. I encode/rip a lot of my Blu ray collection for my internal movie server at home and for my gadgets. I also edit videos for my wannabe youtube channel. I will also be converting my VHS home videos to digital as well.
Please, no comments to "stick with what you got" as I have solid plans for the 2700x to replace a 1200x in another system - hence opportunity to upgrade my main system.
I normally make these types of decisions myself but I'm really looking to hear from the community as I am really stuck on which way to go with this decision. Thank you!
current system:
Ryzen 7 2700x
Asus Strix x470
Ripjaw V 32GB / 3200mhz
Gigabyte 2080 Ti OC
Samsung 970 Pro 512GB nVME
8tb WD Hard Drive
