Hello, I am interested in upgrading my CPU and Motherboard for my current rig. I will primarily be utilizing it for my home based recording studio. I am interested in either the 7820X, 8700K, or 2700X. Value per dollar isn't important since I can actually get all of these for around the same price, so price is not a factor between these three combos. Here are my build ideas...
A) 2700X with either Asrock Taichi Ultimate or Asus Crosshair Hero AC x470 motherboard.
B) 7820X with either a Gigabyte Gaming Ultra Pro or MSI Tomohawk AC X299 motherboard
C) 8700K, No idea on a motherboard but probably an ROG motherboard.
Both single and multi core performance is important. Light to moderate gaming is nice too. Computer will also be used for Rendering. I have no problems with Cooling it.
Rest of build already owned includes.
32GB Kingston Hyper X Fury 2666 DDR4 Dual Channel RAM
Corsair 780T Full Tower Case
EVGA Platinum 1600W Power Supply
R9 295X2 Graphics Card
360MM Arctic Liquid Freezer 360 Cooler
My biggest concern of the 8700K is its multicore performance. My biggest concern of the 2700X will be it's single core performance and whether it's single core performance reallt improved that much over the 1800X in addition to potential instability of the new chip, and my biggest concerns of the 7820X is that the motherboard options are not quite as top end versus the others due to price as well as lots of potential heat and noise in addition to uncertainty of it's rank in performance compared to the other options.
Any ideas as to what would be the best option to go with and why? Thanks, And have a great day.
