If I have two nmve's, a top-tier video card, two sata SSDs, and couple USB 3 ports, how many lanes do I need to run this poo poo at full speed?

4x2 + 16 + 0x2 + 0x2. So 24 lanes.
SATA and USB don't use PCIE lanes. (SATA Express does but I'm not convinced SATA Express actually exists)

Thank you!

DDR4 RAM is super expensive in general right now and it's just been so hard for manufacturers to keep up with demand. Hopefully relief will come sooner than later, but the list of smart devices that need memory doesn't seem to be going down right now.

Is the DDR4 expense just a matter of demand outstripping supply then? Are some manufacturers off line because they're switching over from DDR3?

Um hello? The 32-core T-ripper chip doesn't have direct access to any memory or PCIe lanes cuz it's not out yet. Dr. Lisa will make sure every core has what it needs and you will look pretty silly.

I'd normally be all over a nostalgic Atari console -- and something about it is still kind of appealing to my inner child -- but I'm also old enough to know that crowdfunding something like this is a HUGE red flag. It's a method of raising money more suitable to DIY / vanity projects, not for a rollout of an ecosystem based on classic IP that will require ongoing support.

What’s the go-to ATX board for use with a Threadripper 1900x? I’m looking for stability and good memory compatibility. No plans on overclocking, but would like the option of dropping a 2nd gen cpu in it a year or so from now.
