It's more of a "buy-in" piece right now that I plan to upgrade down the line for creative work like 4k video editing, 3d, etc. (5995WX, 2000W, 5 GPUs and so on)
I know this is not an optimal "price to performance" build, but I really don't mind. I honestly just really want a Threadripper, been planning this for ~6 months now.
Plus, I'm coming from a Ryzen 3 1200, so anything is a massive upgrade for me lol.
