Finally Upgraded!

The final parts arrived and now I am finally rocking a new build featuring an AMD 1950X CPU, so I have 16 cores/32 threads running at 4 GHz. It is combined with 32 GB of DDR4 3200 MHz CL14 RAM and is running so nicely. Video processing is much faster and the games I've played thus far have also improved nicely. It is that video processing I wanted so much though (why I went for the Ryzen Threadripper over just a Ryzen 7) and it is really awesome to have a system capable of over 2x encoding speed at x264 Medium, compared to about 0.1x before. I am very much looking forward to putting it to some serious work soon, but right now, I have a few other things to take care of first (like this post).
