Searching for a good board that matches the 3960X/70X at a reasonable cost. Most dealers no longer carry them, so I might have to check availability.

Is there a reason behind choosing a 3960/70x? They seem to be competing with consumer CPUs at the moment, making them less ideal options. For TRX40 boards, PCPartPicker is a helpful tool. Any model should work, but I suggest opting for a TRX80 board since they still support CPUs.

Mostly due to PCIE lanes allocation. Most consumer CPU's still lack a large enough amount for a lot of PCIE devices, most of which for my use case would be capture cards and what not. It's strictly work related, not for gaming

Sure thing. The main points I made are still valid. I suggest choosing an TRX80 board to avoid being on a dying platform and to keep possibilities open for the future.

They only offer the Threadripper Pro CPU models, which are much pricier.

When budget matters, choose the most affordable trx4 board that meets your needs.

This depends on them offering a Threadripper 6000 or 7000 model with identical chipset and socket design.

Discussing the Threadripper 5000 series as a progression option.

The only option available is the TRX40. The WRX80 is better suited for a workstation setup.
