Recently I've been building office production units with a Ryzen 7 1700, 32GB RAM and a 1TB Samsung 850 EVO SSD. We do a lot of multi-tasking in our office, with anywhere from 8 to 12 programs running at a time. Switching among them needs to be quick and efficient. I find the 7/1700's work quite well.
Now, it's time to build one for myself. Mine needs to do all the same tasks as the 7/1700's but also needs to be available to operate as a back up server just in case something goes south with the IBM.
I have most of the build rounded out 64GB RAM, 6 SSD's, and a pair of GTX 950's since I already have them and I drive 4 monitors.
I'm down to choosing the CPU, the Mobo, and the cooling solution.
Stick with the 7/1700 or go for the Threadripper series? Thoughts?
I am really partial to ASUS mobo's, but if anyone has a better reason to buy something else I'd love to hear it.
I have had good luck using the Corsair H100i AOI coolers, but I have no idea if they will work adequately for the 7/1800X or Threadripper series. I could use some input on that part.
Thoughts and opinions are appreciated, just don't start out with "buy an Intel" ... LOL
