AMD ASUS Build 3700x paired with 3950 X series graphics card
I'm setting up a new system for MS Flight Sim 2020 and as a star citizen I'm considering either a 3700x or a 3950x. If I choose the 3700x, I need a motherboard that lets me swap the CPU later while keeping everything else intact. I'm planning to use a NVidia 2080 and want to know if it supports Intel virtualization for server tasks. An 850W might be too much, but I saw Linus use a 1050i and I'm concerned about overheating. This is my first build in about 15 years, so I'm weighing a pre-built CyberPower or AMD setup against saving enough to build myself.
System will draw up to 400W. Consider Corsair RMx 650W. For the board, X570 TuF offers more than you require for a 3950X

Hi @Shima, they don't ship to the UK based on what I know, and since I'm from Belfast, island delivery would add extra costs. Would you wait until you get more information about the tenth-gen chip, or should we go ahead despite its limited power? I work a lot on software development, so more cores mean better performance for my virtual machines.
