if it is about budget, or performance per $, surely you'd be buying Xeon from ebay. you don't lose anything as the likelihood of having a dead processor 18 months from now is pretty much 0, no warranty required.

if it is about PCIE lanes, you should at least be buying dual socket systems, that gives you more PCIE lanes than 1950x.

if it is about memory, well, 1950x is limited to 8 DIMMs.
