Did I fire too quickly? I was buying on the user market so consider for time for parts to hit used with a lower price than retail

>>x299 confirmed to be a fucking shambles
First I've heard of this
well youre most likley not going to benefit a whole lot from a threadripper compared to ryzen under normal work loads
No, because 8 cores is adequate for your purposes. If it wasn't, you wouldn't be asking that stupid question.
There's like 4 threads up about it dood youtube.com
8 cores is still plenty, for video encoding I'd love to have an 8 core, but still stuck on 4 core crap. Soon(tm).
Which one did you buy?
Ryzen is completely fine for high end workstation-gaming setups
Intel with it's stupid arbitrary limits to PCI-E lanes depending on CPU and gatekeeping RAID under a price tag. its like the worst fucking way to handle a HEDT platform.
AMD is straight forward, you get 64 PCIE lanes period no matter what CPU so you shouldn't have to fiddle and figure out what works and what doesn't on your motherboard
I brought 7/1700.
Threadripper isn't going to be of use to most people.
You might have benefited from the price drop on the 1700X, but other than that, unless you want a fuckton of PCIe lanes (need quad channel memory for your special workload), it's not really any better than Ryzen.
