Hi,
I'm looking at a build for my son which will predominantly be a gaming PC but with expansion potential to a multiple monitor/VR config and capable of streaming and video editing. Hopefully it won't need major component upgrades for 2-3 years. Personally I'm prone to over speccing and did start out with a Threadripper 2950X based build but this one is around £700 cheaper although still not insignificant.
I did look at the Rog Crosshair VII board but that has a hefty price premium and I couldn't see the big differences.
Any suggestions particularly on the memory spec and cooling config would be appreciated.
