I have never used an AMD processor in my life
have to admit that I know nuts about AMD and have been an intel fanboy
my heart is telling me to go for intel but my brain says AMD
I'm leaving my X99 behind for ryzen.

here is what I have so far, PC Themes pricing
are there any other alternatives for RAM for guaranteed 3200 MHz?
best if can shave off the price to $2400 or so
I don't need a GPU and other peripherals as I already have a Asus strix 1080 Ti

Whoa, the flare X is causing you problems. I know Gigabyte has a list of modules with 3200mhz which they have tested.

Vengeance rgb 3466, very high chance to do 3200 cl14 like what flarex is capable of. Probably go for more cost effective aio like auraflow 240 will see 2400 is actually achieavable.

Go for 1600x and overclock it. Not much headroom in the 1800x

No that's total nonsense. The 1800x does not have a "better IMC".

RAM OC on Ryzen is more in the hands of the motherboard

Really? I’d be happy with 4 ghz actually.

1600x only 6 cores leh

Why do you need more cores than that?

And 4ghz is hard in our weather. Make sure you have a fan cooling your VRMs as well.

Imc does matter when ur on flagship board like ch hero, its kinda like silicon lottery. Same goes to intel i believe.

4ghz is not hard if you buy the 1800x. Lol.

Anyway. Make if cost effective. Just get 1700 and slowly overclock it.

Dont need a 750w. 650w for a single gtx 1080ti and 1700-1800x oc. More than enough. Get gold instead of platinum.

Case i leave it to u since it is more personal.

Just stick with X99.

U wont see much of a difference unless u add more cores (e.g. move from X99 6-core to Ryzen 7 8-core). Performance wise, Ryzen is just a Broadwell-E clocked at lower speeds (4.0GHz voltage ceiling vs X99's 4.4GHz ceiling).

My 5820K died. Gonna RMA it. Taking this opportunity to switch platform..



Anyways thanks guys for the advice. It seems that many ppl recommend against getting 1800x.

Actually, I think you're more in the market for a Threadripper than just plain Ryzen....

Your 30% content creation will make up for it.

Using the X370-F, my ram can hit 3200mhz no problem. Suggest getting G.Skill Trident Z (RGB or not up to you) C14 3200MHz (or like me, from Newegg 3600MHz C16 is essentially the same thing with the same price. Check spec beside.) instead of the much expensive FlareX series.

CPU 1700X will do. Lower cost, same OC performance. Should be easier to get 4.0GHz than the lottery for 1700 non-X.

As suggested, get 80+ Gold PSU will do. Seasonic Prime series or EVGA G3 series or Superflower Leadex II series. If you don't plan on SLI, the 750W or 650W will be suffice depending what GPU you getting. If SLI get, 850-1000W PSU.

Sent from PM me if you wanna build a DIY PC or wanna learn how to make one yourself :D using GAGT

Can consider

1) Asrock OCF or Asus Apex with delid SLX or

2) Asus Zenith with TR

to feel the difference (from X99)! :D
