I ordered the stuff now, and this will be my setup: CPU: Intel® Core™ i9-9900K Mainboard: ASUS ROG Maximus XI Hero GPU: ZOTAC GeForce RTX 2070 AMP Extreme Memory: Corsair DIMM 32 GB DDR4-2666 Quad-Kit Cooling: Noctua NH-D15 PSU: be quiet! STRAIGHT POWER 11 CM 750W SSD: Samsung 970 EVO...

Indeed, will do that, thought the same.

Convinced, thanks a lot for your insight, help and suggestions. I'll go now with the i9-9900, the ZOTAC GeForce RTX 2070 AMP Extreme, the GIGABYTE Z390 AORUS ULTRA mainboard and 64GB of Corsair Vengeance LPX. This setup will even save me 500€ compared to Threadripper CPU and TR4 mainboard...

Considering that I wanted to go with the 2950X, which is 889€ at the shop I’m buying it, and the i9-9900 is « only » 549€, I think that IS already a big difference, although the 2700X is even cheaper. Bearing that in mind, I would now basically save a lot of money with the i9-9900, and not lose...

Thanks for the graphs, I also already checked some out myself. There’s one about 7-zip compression that got me hooked to the Threadripper, as I would say that’s one of my main programs always running in the background whilst doing other stuff. Plus you made my life even worse now by mentioning...

It’s actually an i5 750. My initial thought was getting the 2700X, plus the AM4 mobos are cheaper. But like I mentioned, price is not so much an issue, and I definitely want to keep it longer, as I don’t plan to change regularly.

I’m doing a lot of stuff together, mainly copying huge amount of files and extracting/compressing plus encoding. So I don’t actually know if 16 cores would really help or if 8 would definitely be enough. The ONLY thing I know is that at the moment it’s not working at all.

Ok, thanks for the information. Wanted to go now with the 2950X. So 16 cores « only ». Also going for the Palit RTX2070 and changing the memory to G.Skill Flare-X DDR4-2933, seems to be optimized for AMD. If I chose DDR4-3200, it gives me a message that it’s not compatible with the CPU?

First of all I say HI, I'm new to this forum. My PC starts to get really slow when multitasking, to the point that it gets quite annoying, archiving/extracting combined with copying and downloading almost freezes the PC, plus archiving also takes an eternity and leaves the PC non-operational...
