    This may give an idea http://www.scanproaudio.info/2017/08/14/first-look-at-the-amd-threadripper-1920x-1950x/
    If you are going the AMD route buy fast RAM(Samsung B-Die)not less than 3000MHz and not more than 3200MHz, for Ryzen use only 2 sticks and for Threadripper 4 sticks for speed/stability.

    Before buying the RAM you must check the manufacturer site memory QVL compatibility, like this

    All the info at http://www.overclock.net/t/1625015/ryzen-essential-info-with-link-to-owners-info-db

    The Gigabyte with socket AM4 does not have the best VRM(but works ok)

    But because of the "USB DAC-UP 2"

    I may buy the GIGABYTE X370-Gaming K7 in the future, but will adapt a fan to cool the VRM :)

    get the 1700x not the 1700.

    but still you need to not overload 1 core or you get hiccups, distribute the load if that happens (busses).

    if you follow that simple rule you can load tons of vst into this 8 core baby which in case of the 1700x still has enough single core juice.


    Threadripper & i9 are just another world in therms of costs.
