Hi!
This highly depends on your usual workload.
Personally, at this point I would go with the 5900X and safe the €230 for a future system upgrade.
Best, Ben

Hello Ben,
Thanks for your reply.
I'm not the kind of composer working with 100's of tracks in his template, I'm more of a traditional composer so to speak, so not 30+instances in VE Pro. I already was thinking in the direction of 5900X, also beacuse tests do show some better performance with the 5950X, but it's not that this is crucial to build a modern, futureproof system. Still not sure whether to go for the Intel i9-12900 or the 5900X. Will dive into that in the near future.
Motherboard: ASRock Z590 EXTREME LGA 1200
CPU: i7-11700K
System Drive: Samsung 980 m.2 1TB
Onboard Intel video
Various SSDs for samples
Case and CPU fans by BeQuiet
RAM: 64GB Crucial Ballistix 3600 DDR4
Actually, that system drive is the one I had trouble with; didn't always boot. I ended up swapping in a WD_BLACK 1TB SN750 SE NVMe, which solved the issue.
