[QUOTE="quad, post: 15745162, member: 17952"] I have a dog in this fight lol! The I9-7900x is by no means a bad gaming CPU. It is actually at the top in many benchmarks compared to current CPUs. Even though it has 10 cores at lower speeds than the 8700k it does include Intel® Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0. With Intel® Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0, lightly-threaded performance is optimized by identifying your processor's fastest cores and directing your most critical workloads to them.

The computer is on 24/7. I also do Ethereum mining on the 1080ti when I am sleeping or away for a few hours. The hash rate with the 1080ti is 38 mh/s.
