Monster but I don't do editing or rendering so imma stick with the 8 or 12.

Alright so Nov 5th, and I want the Asus board so I guess just keep looking until it is available and hope stock is solid and can get one of either the 5800X or 5900X.

Yeah as a shareholder I have no issues with a $50 increase for the performance gained. Even as a buyer, no issues.

I’m in for a 5900x, I picked up a 3700x from Amazon so I can complete the build next week. I’ll just ship it back once I get my hands on the 5900x.

What processor should I look to pair with the RTX 3080 I hope to find one day? Preferably something in the $300 to $400 range, but I don't mind coming up a little if I'm getting good bang for the buck on the additional investment.

Might want to wait for Big navi announcement in a couple weeks, if AMD can offer similar performance for maybe even a little less price, it could be the way to go...and actually have stock before the end of the year.

Their marketed benchmarks showed at least 1 model being within 5% (or margin of error) basically of a 3080 in performance. Most believe that's the top new Navi model....but who knows. If that model is say 5% slower than 3080 but $50-$100 cheaper and available, I'd probably get that, especially considering it will have more VRAM.

Where is the best place to get a Windows key these days? G2A, Ebay or somewhere else.
