Not a huge gamer but I dabble. Use a lot of Adobe products , and started getting into video editing. I have a 2080ti that’s been just a beast over the past two years. I have the lga2066 socket 7800x , and it’s been great but looking to upgrade to something a little faster , any suggestions on a lga2066 intel proc for my asus x299-xe mobo ? I am maxed out with a Gskill DDR4 4000mhz 128gb kit (8 sticks)

Thanks in advance yall.

    Get a 10980xe or 10960x. It will transform your X299 platform. I believe with the 7800x you only had 22 pcie lanes available, with the cpu upgrade you will have 48 lanes, so with an ASUS hyper card you can add 4 nvme drives, a second 2080ti card and still have lanes available for pcie add on cards. Just be sure to get a noctua D15s cooler, or a good air liquid cooler. Good luck.
