I'm thinking about doing a build based on TR, probrably the low to mid-tier version of TR.
Ryzen is also a possibility.
As for expected useage, there isn't any real concern for gaming performance because I don't game, instead I do things like video rendering, file related stuff and the like and a TR should serve that purpose well with Ryzen being capable too.
Some overclocking is an eventuality but nothing of immediate concern with this.
My real question(s) are what board(s) should I consider?
Understand I'm not talking about anything sub-par or even mid-tier so much, I usually go for the good stuff when doing a build but there are some blankspots with the boards TR/Ryzen would use related to quality of these boards.
ATM I'm thinking either an Asus Crosshair Hero or perhaps an ASRock Tachi based setup for TR, I've heard alot of good things about the Tachi boards but don't know if the latest TR versions are up to this rep or not. I've already heard that the Extreme version of the Crosshair is buggy/crap so I'm looking the other way unless someone can disprove it.
The ones for Ryzen I'm less clear on related to all this.
I'll go ahead and say anything MSI is all but out on this due to what I've experienced with the brand before (Very prone to VRM failures and extreme VDroop issues due to subpar quality components like Nikos MOSFETS being used for such) BUT if there is something they make that's isn't comprised of "El-Cheapo" components (Like Nikos or something just as bad - Inferior quality components) I'll at least take a look at it.
Not looking to go with a monster amount of cores because that would be a bit overkill for my needs, that's why I'm along the lines of the low to mid-tier TR chips with Ryzen as a possibility here.
I'll definitely be looking at some B-die sticks, that's one area I don't know much about (Brandname and compatability-wise with DDR4) but do know to look for something with the lower CAS 14 or 15 timings and not 100% sure how much I'd really need, ATM I"m thinking 32GB's total but can go for more if it's best to if doing a TR build.
Just want to know what would be good for anything suggested and of course, clock up if I really want them to at some point.
May also grab a a new GPU too, my current card (GTX 970) is doing fine but looking for down the road viability too.
And please - No Pro-Intel suggestions, that's not what I'm asking for and frankly I'm running one of those right now anyway.
Suggestions?
I'll go ahead and say thanks in advance guys.
