off topic of parts, but this is my first build and I am wondering can a lot of things be assembled before putting anything in the case? Or do you pretty much have to put the psu and mobo in before...

Not sure of your use case. But serious question why would you need that much power on your unraid? Mine use a 1950x and literally swallow’all the docker and vms I throw at it. I mean except if each...

While I can somewhat sympathize that the bang for your buck goes out the window up at this tier, I'd really just be annoyed if it came with a CPU cooler in the box. I'd much rather choose my own and...

Nobody really "needs" 16 cores. It's more worth it for people who will use it for business and it thus speed up projects, such as rendering videos or something, but for anyone else it's just a nice...

if you don't care about heat, then just get a $20 cooler Master cpu cooler.
also for most tasks you'd be better off spending more money on a good cooler and over clocking rather then buying more...

It does make me chuckle sometimes thinking about SDers buying 3800X and 3900X knowing that 11 cores on the 3900X will never be used.

It will most likely need a new Mobo (AM5) so if you are still waiting, then keep waiting.
Edit: See reply to this; Zen3/x670 looks like last AM4

Why would they drop the price? Because Intel put a new sticker on a skylake and overclocked it 5%? Intel is f$%ed.

Wondering if a 3900X is overkill over a 3800X for a light video editing rig? I have 32GB DDR4 3600 MHz RAM and 1TB Gen 4 SSD.

If you're doing "light video editing" Then yeah, even the 3800X is overkill.

Why? AMD is driving prices. Intel is playing catch up. You believe Intel will have significant volume?
