[SOLVED] upgrading to new components?

[weishark]

Hi, im looking now for another upgrade currently CPU, MB, RAM... gpu will be same

from
i5 4690k / msi z97 g5 / 16gb ddr3-1600 ballistix elite / crucial mx100(128gb)+mx300(525gb)

to
Ryzen TR 2920x / strix x399e / 64gb corsair ddr4-3200 / corsair force mp510(480gb)
about 1190€ total.

or maybe ?
strix z390-E or F ? / i9-9900k - ram/ssd same...

gpu would be still the strix 1080ti
it is worthy idea ?
as that i would stay with strix MB (could be also with Intel cpu :-D but still must be "rog strix" :-D )

thanks

If you're going the Threadripper route, get the 2950 instead. If you are looking for gaming performance, Ryzen is better - the Ryzen 3900X has as many cores as the 2920 but is better performing due to it using Zen2 cores, not Zen+.

What would this be used for?

Psu make and model?

For gaming you want to avoid ryzen threadripper and instead to opt for a 3rd gen ryzen or 9th gen intel cpu.

@remixislandmusic : some games on 1440p/166hz not as main job video renders. PSU: Corsair RM650i

+ but at 100% :-D web browsing, seems like overkill for that :-D but in short time would i upgrade the 1080ti then to 2080/ti

@mitch074 now the TR2920X is on 400€ pricetag as the 3900X is on 560€ pricetag... so that was reason to choose TR2920X
TR2950X pricetag now : 800€ 🆒

With your renders, would the performance benefit from strictly cores, or would single threaded performance count aswell?

A 3900x would be my pick as a happy medium. Its single threaded performance is not quite to 9900k levels but much better than a 2920x. The multicore performance would be above a 9900k due to its extra cores and the 3900x would bring better multicore performance over the 2929x due to the extra single threaded performance and same core count.

Also the 3900x woule be cheaper than the 2920x since the 3900x includes a cooler and works on cheaper mobos.

You got to factor in the cheapest tr4 coolers arent cheap at all.

You can put a 3900X on a $120 X470 motherboard and get the same if not better performance than your 2920 on a $400 X399 motherboard. There also are some X570 motherboards under the $300 price tag now, which means PCIE-4.0. CPU would cost more, but whole platform prices goes down. Now, Threadripper remains interesting when it comes to RAM capacity and bandwidth : quad channel can be useful on some big jobs. The amount of cache on Zen2 though makes the Ryzen 3900 very interesting for a rendering workstation though.

You can get an asrock x570 for $150 rn, but that may not apply to the op in a different region.

@remixislandmusic cooler would be reused kraken x62. with the renders from vegas14 im not 100% sure about performance with single/multi core :-D because with actual i5 4690k im fulltime on 100% usage... and also im "newbie" on video renderings :-D
@remixislandmusic :-D would stay only with asus strix... sorry rest pc build on aurasync :-D
