[SOLVED] Ryzen 3950x or i9 for Gaming & Editing computer?

[Triforce]

Hi!
I am in deep need of a a new computer due to slow rendering.

What I do,
I play games on a Super Ultrawide (5K)
I play VR games
I render in Sony Vegas + After effects & Handbrake

Should I get a 3950X or i9 ?

I checked so many reviews but can't make up my mind
Thanks

3950x no question more cores and threads while still a beast in games

i wouldn't buy two separate kits of RAM, buy a 64gb matching kit (16gbx4) but everything else will go together just fine..

what GPU?

Your parts looks good except for what Norcalsc said. 1 ram kit. Not two. You risk having issues even if both ram kit are the same brand and model.

The motherboard you took has good VRM on it too. So that's good.

The rest is good.

3950x is very close to a 9900k (assuming that the I9 you mean) in gaming. In editing there is no question, a 3950x will destroy a 9900k in many cases due to the 16 extra threads.

Use one kit of ram.

GPU is a placeholder

Do you already have a GPU? Probably from your current build right? Just asking because you did not add one in your parts and you need one because that CPU does not have integrated graphics. Ignore this if you do have a GPU already.
