After 4 years, I'm upgrading my 7700k. My main use is Pixinsight which is Astrophotography processing software and utilises all cores.
I'm pretty set on the 3900X although tempted by the 3950X, not sure it's worth the extra price increase though. Where I'm stuck is memory and motherboard. I was thinking of a Gigabyte X570 board, maybe the Aorus Pro and some G.Skill Trident memory. I'd prefer 64Gb due to swap file requirements on large projects in Pixinsight.
Any recommendations? Oh and my current system is fully watercooled (1 x 360 & 1 x 420 rads) so I'll be swapping my CPU block.
