pXius Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) Hey guys. My current build as follows: X99 Sli Plus Board Intel i7 6800K 48GB RAM GT710 GPU Nvidia P2000 for PMS. 2x 256GB SSD's for Cache 56TB's of storage, with 8TB parity. I'm moving soon and thought I might make use of the situation to migrate systems as well. Proposed system: Ryzen 7 2700X Asus X470-F Gaming Board 32GB's of Gskill 3600 RAM (Already have these from my gaming system I'm breaking down, 4x8GB sticks). So in short, I can easily sell my X99 setup, add a few $'s and go Ryzen 7. I'm losing ram, PCIE lanes and will need SATA/SAS PCIE cards to accommodate all my drives (X99 supports 10 drives). The upside to the Ryzen is more and faster cores. And just the "nice to have" of being on a newer platform, AM4 which should allow for another generation or two's worth of upgrades. Lower Power consumption. System is used for: PMS - serving about 7ish + streams. (HW transcoded by P2000) All the media downloady things Some VOIP stuff Handbrake & MakeMKV Unifi Stuff Some VM's for work Office/SAP orientated work Storage & Backups Might add my GTX1080Ti from my gaming build and do a gaming VM, but chances are low. Whole reason I'm breaking up the gaming PC is because it doesn't get used. So, TLDR. Upgrade from i7 6800k to Ryzen 2700X? Yay or Nay? Edited April 4, 2019 by pXius Quote Link to comment
