I am upgrading from a 2012 Sandy Bridge-E 3930k, an EVGA 1080 TI that replaced the original GTX 670, 64gb DDR3 RAM in a Lian Li A71F Case (https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16811112244) and powered by a Corsair AX850w PSU that still has 2 years left on warranty. (My current system specs are in my sig).
I am thinking to keep my existing case and PSU. I added a Hot Swap drive bay to the Lian Li and love all the internal drive storage and have no qualms with it. I also can't find a nice, windowless, all aluminum case that I think is superior so this seems to be a great case to keep rocking. I was considering a new, fresh Corsair AX1000 PSU but am thinking that I can continue to run this PSU for a few years without issue and without risk of a failure doing any damage, right?
Moving on, here is the build I am considering. I would love feedback on my component selection, as well as any other small parts I may be missing (i.e. thermalpaste, etc.). Also, is Newegg still a preferred store to shop from?
* Using my existing Lian Li A71F case & 2012 Corsair AX850w PSU
Some questions I've been contemplating are the MSI X570 Prestige Creation vs ASUS ROG X570 Crosshair VIII Hero, or another motherboard altogether. I like how the ASUS has more USB 3.2 Gen 2 and more SATA ports. However, I like how the MSI has more PCI-E Slots and built-in 10gb LAN. I've also been wondering about using 32gb RAM modules to achieve 128gb with only 4 DIMM slots in dual channel, and if the 18-22-22-42 CAS 18 timings are problematic or not. I'm wondering if I chose the best cooler in the Noctua (vs bequiet dark pro or an AIO), and if I will have any issues needing to remove the thermal shielding on the Corsair MP600 to install into my motherboard m.2 slot.
My use cases are split 50/50 between video editing in Adobe Premiere Pro 2020 (this is my profession), and personal use gaming & simming (including VR) in apps such as Project Cars 2 VR, DCS World VR, Flight Sim 2020, CyberPunk 2077, Control, Doom Eternal, etc. etc. I do plan to attach a 10gb QNAP RAID 6 server next year for my video production work. In my current case I am running 7 internal HDDs (4 in a HS bay that I install in the existing Lian Li case), 2 optical drives (which have been dormant for a while now and I may eventually remove), and another existing m.2 NVME drive (1tb samsung 970) that I am currently using as my media cache/scratch drive for Adobe.
Thank you for the help and advice! I had another post recently in which I had contemplated Threadripper, but I am leaning Ryzen 5950x for various reasons (Cost, TDP, unutilized cores, unlikely need for more intensive PCI-E I/O or quad channel). I am most concerned with in-timeline editing performance rather than final output rendering speed. If you would like to feedback my platform decision in that regards, there exists my thread for that here: https://forums.anandtech.com/thread...r-video-editing-gaming.2585987/#post-40312981
