Hello! I'm in the market for a 12-15k PC, and I need it to do what most people would probably have three machines for. Unfortunately, I only have the space for one, so I need a build that does everything well, even if it doesn't do one thing great. My kids want to game, my wife does graphics design, and I dabble in some gpu computing and knowledge discovery in very large databases.
I'm very torn between the 9900k and the 99xx-x series. I know that on the gaming end the single core performance in 9900k can't be beat, I also love the pricetag as it may allow me to upgrade elsewhere (at the moment I'm likely going to splurge for two Titan RTX and throw in a Tesla T4 from my workstation). However the increased PCIE lanes, ram capabilities and other features in the Skylake-X series make me question if I should be putting my money there.
As these are all very new, there is very little to go off of. I read that the 9920x provides the most cache/core, and with OC at 4.5 will it really be that much slower than a 9900k? Any suggestions on the route to go, build-wise?
