Hello everyone!
So I have a doubt about which CPU to get, I know that I should wait for the reviews and I will, but I'm a bit anxious about such decision,since I'm planning on building my PC since may, but as I'am a bit insecured about making such big decision for my PC,I decided to wait for AMD threadripper. At first I was going to build a R7 1700 build,since I do a bit of game developing(Unreal Engine4) and 3D modelling stuff(Blender) on the weekends,but I game 95% of my free time, I have a big budget , I thought about jumping in to the X299 series, having the same amount of cores and a better average and minimum FPS on games, I know that it isn't a big difference(usually 5% to 15%),but if I have the money, why the hell not too. So the i7-7820x was the choice since It is better than the R7 and not so expensive as the 1920x or 1950x,as I didn't need so many cores.
But AMD announced the 1900x, and I became a little confused on what I should do. If the 1900x have the same gaming benchmarks as the r7 1800x, I would say that the i7 7820x would be a better choice for me, mainly because I game 95% of my time and I don't need so many PCI-e lanes,which I know it's great and all,but I'm more than sure that I will not be using more than 1 GPU or a lot of M.2 drivers. But I don't know if it's the hate that the X299 platform is getting( and I understand why...)or the praise that the X399 platform is having. Somethig makes me insecured to go for either system. What woiuld you guys do on this situation, the only thing I can be sure is that the difference between the two chips is going to be minimal. One other thing that I should say in my particular case,is that I love the X299 asus ROG strix-e mobo, and I'm sad that I won't be able to get the same one in the X399 series,since It will be a E-ATX acording to asus,and my case doesn't support it( I already have the case)
