Ahhhh. Gotcha. I think those days are gone. Even AMD will be on that price bandwagon in my opinion. Might not be $1200. But will be close to $1000 I'd bet.

There's really no point in staying cutting edge. Hell, even performers we have at work doing cutting edge CFD modeling faster than real-time using GPUs dont even use the latest highest end cards.

Yeah cutting edge has a tax to it for a very limited % increase. I considered a 2080ti but what would I even push it with? It's not like there are any games out even pushing frames.

Damn boys it has taken me almost 2 months to decide upon some PC parts and actually find them in stock but I just got the ASUS motherboard and the white triple fan Gigabyte 2070 Super card that I wanted! Fuck sake, that was the hardest I’ve ever had to look for any product I’ve ever wanted and I collect some obscure foreign video game and comic stuff. Maybe a slight exaggeration, but not really...
anyway, just wanted to celebrate. Now knowing my luck I’ll have a beautiful and badass $2,000+ setup completed and have to go back to work the very next day lol.
just wanted to thank everyone for the help and suggestions, I was patient and finally got the stuff I wanted.

I just find it interesting they see it as a upgrade, doesn't really seem worth to push too bleeding edge for another 200-300megglehurtz.
I've known Moores Law has been dead for years it's funny seeing it just fall apart, but hopefully graphene/Carbon nano is coming Soon™

So looking at the upgrade - 10 Series are coming out soon with Intel (Today I think?) and Ryzen made a big push. I haven't been following but checked some marks in Anandtech. What's the CPU flavor of choice these days? Was eyeing the 10700k, Mobo, 32 Gb Ram, POSSIBLY a 2070GTX (Running at 1440p not sure if I even need it with my 1070 GTX) new case, water cooler, and 1Tb M.2. Extra storage would be my existing SSD's which seem to work fine.
Mostly looking for opinions currently on Ryzen experiences.

Get Intel if you are a hardcore gamer. If not, get a Ryzen and save $ for mostly the same performance.

I would wait for this fall when the new ryzen shit comes out, should pack even more punch if they kkeep the same levels of improvement between their first ryzens and the second. Also you dont need any of that water cooler bullshit. Keep that shit out of your case. Just get a good air cooler. The good ole trusty $30 CM212 is keeping my kids ryzen nice and cool.
