Hey guys. Getting ready to build my first PC, and I am having a little trouble deciding on the CPU. I know for sure i'm going intel. I was looking at the i7-8700k (which I already know is highly suggested). But I was also looking at the i7 7820X. Both seem to be really good. I am looking for (to some degree), a top of the line cpu that will last a long time before needing to be upgraded. I can tell from the threads here and on youtube there is a lot of 8700k lovers and thats cool, but i'm asking we keep this bias free.
Also couple questions for a beginner and I apologize in advance if these seem really stupid. When comparing cpu's the 8700k says it supports only 2 memory channels. So does that mean it only allows 2 sticks of ram?
Thank you in advance to everyone who helps out and offers their opinions.
