Here in NZ, 7820x ~$800, 9800X ~$1100 & AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ 2920X ~$1100, so although at 28 lanes, 7820X seems better value, but see the comparison reports they're the same price - feel like we're getting ripped off somewhere.

My only issue with the 9700K & LGA1151 with Z390 chip set is again the PCIe lanes, having only 16 in total since adding any card will drop the x16 of the GTX to x8 (this is what I have now after I removed a WiFi card as at that point the GTX...
