I can see we won't agree on this either. pcpartpicker doesn't always pick the cheapest price. The face that I linked you a cheaper Ryzen cpu, and you picked one that costs $60.00 more... *sigh*
Bottom line, like I've said before: Using bp2008's workload it is cheaper to build and operate a ryzen system than it is to build and operate an 8700k system.
Lots of folks inquire about building a dedicated BI system. People like me and many others prefer to build rather than buy. I built my own computer for BI for instance. We both agree that you can buy a computer that will run BI far cheaper than you can build one. I'm pretty sure we can both agree that if one built a computer and his choices were a 8700k and Ryzen using bp2008s workload, the cheaper route is Ryzen.
absolutely no reason to build unless you want to pay several hundred dollars more for the privilege...additionally as i noted, the 8700k is much more powerful than the ryzen when it comes to bi, so you can BUILD with a cheaper intel processor than the 8700k
BI being the only thing on people's boxes is a bad assumption IMO. Especially with how popular things like plex are nowadays. you guys are talking past each other.
