If the motherboard supports nvme, Intel 660p is the best value ssd you can get. Much faster than sata ssd's and at the same or lesser price. It doesn't have as great of an endurance, but that won't be a problem for your use case.

The Crucial P1 seems a good value contender too. Think it’s a little faster and roughly £100 for 1Tb, same as the 660p

Is it a special "new nodes r hard" feature?
By Laboured Go To PostIs it a special "new nodes r hard" feature?The non-joking answer:
No specifics on what exactly the improvement's to their existing process technology is yet. 14++ actually increased the transistor gate pitch from 70nm to 84nm compared to 14+. These various processes names don't actually mean as much as you might think though, Intel's 14nm is not comparable to what TSMC, Samsung or Global Foundries calls their similar process size. All that really matters is transistor density and power efficiency, Intel's current "14nm" is far and away better than anyone else's who named their process close to that size.
Their decision to tie their process node to their uArch was a mistake in hindsight, and going forward they are supposedly stopping that.
I missed the Stilt's post on Zen 2. Good read ahead if you're into this shit.

The overclocking capabilities
Essentially, if we're talking about the higher-end SKUs, there is basically none.
Based on my experience, the best case of scenario on 6C CCDs (3600, 3600X and 3900X) is around 4.25GHz, at relatively safe voltage levels.
In case of 3900X, given that you can cool the chip with two of those 6C CCDs. SKUs with 8C CCDs (3700X, 3800X and 3950X) the best case is around 4.15GHz. The 3950X is expected to be thermally limited, as a whole.
The biggest limit is the intensity (heat per area), secondly the voltage you can safely feed to the silicon. For example, the 9900K which has a reputation of being an inferno, has theoretical intensity of ~1.15W/mm² when operating at 5.0GHz (200W @ 174mm²).
Meanwhile Matisse can easily reach intensity of > 1.5W/mm² (120W+ @ 74mm²). The second issue is, that beyond ~3.8GHz the V/F curve becomes extremely steep. According to FIT, the safe voltage levels for the silicon are around 1.325V in high-current loads
and up to 1.47V in low-current loads (i.e ST), depending on the silicon characteristics. Because the stock boost operation is already limited by the silicon voltage reliability, the only way to eke out every last bit of all-core performance is using OC-Mode. Like on previous Ryzen generations, entering OC-Mode also means that you will loose the turbo boost (all cores operate at same frequency). On the higher-end SKUs, the single threaded performance penalty will be massive from doing so. For example on 3900X, you'd be trading additional ~100MHz all-core frequency to a loss of up to 450MHz in ST frequency by doing so. Personally, I advice against overclocking the higher-end SKUs at all, and instead increasing the power limits and trying your luck with the "Auto OC" feature (which most likely isn't beneficial).

Tomorrow I should get my last part, the custom pump housing/reservoir and I can finally get to putting this loop together.

on average the Ryzen 7 3700X is +28.5% faster than the Ryzen 7 1700X
on average the Ryzen 7 3700X is +15.9% faster than the Ryzen 7 2700X (on nearly the same clocks)
on average the Ryzen 7 3700X is +9.4% faster than the Core i7-7700K
on average the Ryzen 7 3700X is -1.1% slower than the Core i7-8700K
on average the Ryzen 7 3700X is -5.9% slower than the Core i7-9700K (but $45 cheaper)
on average the Ryzen 7 3700X is -6.9% slower than the Core i9-9900K (but $159 cheaper)
on average the Ryzen 9 3900X is +1.8% faster than the Ryzen 7 3700X
on average the Ryzen 9 3900X is -5.2% slower than the Core i9-9900K
there is just a small difference between Core i7-9700K (8C/8T) and Core i9-9900K (8C/16T) of +1.0%, indicate that HyperThreading is not very useful (on gaming) for these CPUs with 8 cores and more
😭
So, the 3700x is ~6% worse than 9700k in games, but ~23% faster in heavily threaded apps while costing about $45 less. Not too bad.
By Smokey Go To PostThat's a fucking yikes from me, champ.
Slow news day, so here's the computer / gaming desk I designed for my m8.
I wish I had the good sense to include that front dent in my own design, so I wouldn't have to rely on my chair's armrests for, well, resting my arms.
Plenty of space for 8" studio monitors + two monitors side by side, if he decides to go that route. Plus whatever consoles and audio equipment.

MDF is cheap m8. Come up with a design in Sketchup, pick a wood / whatever texture, send it to a local MDF shop, done. You'll also need legs or even better legs with a supporting frame. Ikea will do.
I think I'm going to get or style my next desk after a recording desk. They seem to be designed with multiple monitors and studio monitors in mind, as well as having that middle dent.
By Kibner Go To PostI think I'm going to get or style my next desk after a recording desk. They seem to be designed with multiple monitors and studio monitors in mind, as well as having that middle dent.Big fan of studio desks, I was considering going with one seeing how I've always wanted to build a mini guitar rack of sorts, but then I realized a fully-fledged recording desk would be overkill for the amount of equipment I (will ever) own. They certainly make it seem like you mean business.
I am however going to take inspiration from the above to build a quasi-soundbar-shaped container with a modular top plate for my audio interface, wireless guitar receiver, USB hub and whatever other gadgets I may end up owning in the future, place it under my floating monitor.
Something like this quick & dirty model.
At which point I'll consider my 3 years in the making new computer desk project complete.
By Zabojnik Go To PostSo that Intel leak was indeed fake, huh. I thought it looked too good to be true.The only fishy thing to me was the pricing, could’ve believed it otherwise
Goddamn, proper PC graveyard this. Hording trigger alert.
By HottestVapes Go To PostThe only fishy thing to me was the pricing, could’ve believed it otherwiseThat and the breadth of Intel's offering. There were just too many SKUs that were a perfect counter to AMD's. Current Intel is just ... not that elastic.
By Laboured Go To Post144hz refresh rate, but, yeah, that is the monitor I use. I got it on a similar deal and like it a lot. Aside from the logo on the bottom bezel.
An underrated feature is being able to turn the power led light off.
By Zabojnik Go To PostAdam stay winning.
No benches though? Hope a follow up video comes out because from what I've read so far, undervolting Zen 2 actually has a performance impact.

But when you go through the effort of having a PC hand-crafted by skilled artisans why would you ever want it to be portable?
