DSzymborski :
Do you have significant workstation-type use with the PC? That's what determines if even thinking about a Threadripper makes sense. If this is a gaming-only or mainly-gaming rig, it doesn't make much sense to even talk about this CPU; an 8700k will perform better in gaming and it won't be an actual improvement over the less-expensive Ryzens either.
no , i'm not that type of user . i simply have never tried AMD before , and the smaller cpu's don't look that impressive , same thing for intel's115x line of cpu's . i've been saving money for a while and now i think i wanna buy a threadripper . so is 1900x 1920 or 1950 , which one is a better choice ? i know the 1950x is simply too expensive so how would you choose between 1900x and 1920x ?
i also wanna build a PC that lasts for maybe 4-5 years ? or better 6-7 years . my current skylake gets hot and loud even in simple games such as the multiplayer of call of duty ww2 . let alone open world games which i don't even play.
so what would you do if you wanted to build a PC that lasts for 6-7 years ?
thanks in advance for your help
