Yea I got the i9-9900K already. I was going to go with the 3700x but I already made the decision to get the i9 due to the motherboard. I originally wanted a 3900x but fuck man. It is good and I can't wait.
I planned on getting HDD for externals not internal. I am going to get a 2nd SSD sometimes in February or so.
Wait, you don't think the PS5/Scarlett will be a 2070 Super Equivalent in terms of GPU?
And to add, consoles can't physically get to that high level of performance due to price and thermals.
They will have custom solutions at both the hardware and software levels to optimize gaming as they're not desktop PC's that need to do other tasks, so they gain additional headroom there.
