4790k > 1700/1800/1800x
crosshair vi and some tridentz rgb stuff

mainly want to "modernize" my mobo with type c (phone uses type c as well) and a ton more usb ports, but taking the opportunity to get a new cpu & grab ddr4 ram same time

video editing is something i'd like to get into but not necessarily doing right now, but i like to stream.
on top of that games are starting to leverage use of more cores+threads so doubling up isn't necessarily bad

anyway, looking for opinions and suggestions etc

sidenote, from what i'm seeing ryzen has 24 pci lanes
current setup is gpu + nvme ssd (so 8x + 4x, leaving 4x unusable)
if i go to ryzen it's 16x + 4x, and if i end up sli'ing (unlikely) i can use both cards and my ssd properly, otherwise i'm still left going 16x and 4x which is fine w/ me.

hmm

Why are you upgrading from a 4790k to Ryzen
Your system is still a beast..

• modernizing
• i prefer amd over intel
• more usb ports
• type c
• ddr4
• game streaming, more games using more cores/threads
• 24 pci lanes (can sli and still use my nvme x4 ssd)

• ? what do you gain from this
• ? what do you gain from this
• maybe

• ? what do you gain from this
• is your current rig actually struggling to stream or play games or is that just something you perceive happening in the near future, if it's the latter, you should just wait.
• I mean if you have z97 you also have 24 pcie lanes..

you're wrong on that last point, i have a z97 board and i7 4790k so i only have 16 lanes as dictated by the 4790k
buying new parts is what i like to do - i've had the 4790k + mobo for two years now, want to sell + upgrade
supporting amd over intel is pretty important atm. intel is a shitty company that can't be trusted that just had the best performance for the money at the time, as there was only the 9590 from amd which wasn't going to happen
ddr4 supports higher clocks, lower power consumption (lower voltages, which means overvolting + overclocking) - not really a huge plus but ddr3 old asf. higher data rates which doesn't really effect gaming or day to day

overall ddr4 clocks higher which helps ryzen's data transfer over its infinity fabric substrate or whatever the fuk, so overclocking that ends up in higher overall performance as well.
ryzen ipc already matches broadwell/skylake (and as a result, kabylake because it's the same thing as skylake) clock to clock. so if i can sit at 4 or 4.1ghz on ryzen while overclocking memory i'm bound to see performance increases overall.

not to mention, ryzen cpu's are soldered, not pasted with garbage and then glued on with that awful black tar shit

also kinda want a new monitor, but it can definitely wait. playing miscreated lately and there's a shit ton of standoffs+shootouts in the middle of the night which are difficult to see in with a monitor that has backlight bleed lmao
