I am making a new gaming pc with the following components:
Dual Asus Poseidon GTX 1080 Ti
NZXT AiO Liquid Cooler
Corsair S340 White
G.Skill TridentZ RGB memory (4×8 GB kit)
2×Samsung 960 Pro 2 TB in Raid 1
6×Samsung 850 Pro 1 TB in Raid 5
HGST 10 TB HDD for system backup
Corsair 1200 W PSU 80+ Titanium
Asus Cerberus RGB keyboard
Asus ROG Gladius mouse
Asus ROG Centurion headset
I was struggling between AMD Threadripper 1950X(16 core, 32 Thread) or Intel Core i7-7840X (8 core, 16 Thread)
The CPU choice will mean that I can only upgrade to X399 or X299 CPU's in the future. AMD will keep the X399 chipset and TR4 socket for long, but I doubt Intel will keep the X299 chipset for long. No matter which CPU I choose, I'll go with an Asus motherboard of either chipset. Please tell CPU will be better.
I'll be gaming, editing, rendering, and developing games on this. Please give your choice.
