Ok, my Stubborn Intel Bone was making me really look at a 7820x, but there's too much coverage on its short comings in terms of Power Draw, heat output and also those VRM temperature issues the X299 boards have / are suffering.
I was willing to pay the price premium for the 7820x and its board, but not with all these cooling issues too, especially if it means more money spent on a cooling solution and a less than stellar case.
So my Reasonable Bone has kicked in, and I'm re-evaluating Ryzen. Besides speedy memory (thank you for the previous explanation), what else do I need to keep my eyes open for? I assume Nvidia cards are perfectly fine, or would Vega be worth looking at again?
I'm looking particularly at the 8 core 1700/1800 parts...
