I'm upgrading my i7 3770 (plus all the bits related) and am considering either the X299 (LGA2066) or Z390 (LGA1151) roads in particular the i7 9700K vs i7 7820X.
I do game, a bit of FPS but mainly Project Cars and X Plane 11. I have a GTX 1080 and run at 21:9 @ 3440x1440
I have an Oculus rift with a dedicated USB controller (so PCI express lanes is something to think about - my current M/B has a limit at x16 and my GPU can only get to x8 due to other hardware installed).
I will be installing 32GB of RAM in either 2x16GB (dual for Z390) or 4x8GB (quad for X299) configuration depending upon CPU and hence intel chipset.
Would appreciate any thoughts.
