Damn I thought they'd announced a date when I saw your thread lol... it was supposed to release Q4 of 2016, and we've heard almost nothing from them since.
I just hope the political atmosphere over in Turkey (where they're based) hasn't caused issues, especially given the team isn't actually Turkish.
Can't help ya without a budget m8.
The most bang for buck route seems to be Amd Ryzen CPU + Nvidia GPU. Could change by the end of the month though since intel will be launching their new cpus by the end of august apparently.
So I'd wait until then before buying a new pc.
PC Specs: CPU: 7800X3D || GPU: Strix 4090 || RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000 || Main SSD: WD 2TB SN850

I had this weird twitching feeling whilst I was attempting to sleep. It felt like someone called my name from the dank, dark reaches of vgchartz. :P

Price/Performance should be the main concern.
Brand/Power Consumption/Features/Number of cats should be the secondary concern.
However, right now... nVidia is easily the superior choice overall. Without question. *Swallows Pride*
We will need to know budgets and such, you cannot possibly make any kind of informed suggestion without it.

Ryzen is killing it across the entire price/performance/power spectrum at the moment. Unless you intend to overclock past 4ghz, then Intel becomes a no-brainer.

No one.

Threadripper is a beast. It's not without it's shortcomings though.
But Price/Performance wise it is superior to Intel without question.
AMD is selling a 16 core processor for the same price as Intels 10-core here. (About $1,500 AUD)
That kind of value is just simply nuts.
But that kind of chip isn't meant for mere mortals/gamers. Haha.
The Ryzen 1600/1600X seems to be the sweet gaming spot right now in my opinion. Not expensive (Almost 1/3rd the price of the 1800X here), 6 cores, extremely capable for the price.

You can get CPUs delivered to your door via Amazon for less than it costs here.
The R5 1600 would cost $279 AUD, including shipping to my door via Amazon (Victoria).
Where as Centre Com charges $299 AUD + shipping, and the pricing is not much better elsewhere.
Amazon does of course take a while to ship here, and the shipping price can get pretty high, but if you are getting small-ish things like GPUs and CPUs it is a way to save some extra cash.
Threadripper seems to be troublesome to get shipped here though, dam AMD and their large box.
Not sure how much many you would spend, but if you want someone else build the PC for you and less than 1k, checkout this:

Swap out the R5 1500x for a R5 1600 and save a bit of money on a cheaper motherboard and that is a decent build.

No it's not. It lacks OS (which is almost a crime for a pre-build PC), and needs much faster memory, because a 2400 MHz kit will hold the CPU performance a lot. Also a $914.00, that now marks $1,019, PC should come with an SSD, even if it's a small one, and/or an HDD of more than 1TB.
There have to be better options elsewhere.
Please excuse my bad English.

I never said it was fantastic.
You can get a OEM key pretty cheaply (under $50) and yeah a SSD would help greatly.
Oh, and the RAM should be fine, it should only be a 10 - 20% max decrease from a 3000MHz kit.
