This post seems confusing without additional details. Maybe you can expand on what are the tasks that will make use of that kind of processing power. What are your performance priorities?
Based on your current description, I don't see anything that will stress even a 10 year old CPU.
Also, what uses would you have for an egpu other than basic hardware acceleration? Gaming, A.I, etc...
If you just want to cover your bases, almost any high end x670 board will do the job.
Well, actually my almost 10 years old i7-6700K struggles.
The problem is probably that I keep a lot of programs open:
That still doesn't look like a very heavy workload. My older box was older then your 6700k and was fine running such stuff.
Perhaps your limit isn't the CPU. What storage and ram setup do you have, did you look at that?
I'll be honest and say that when I replaced my old crap with 7900x I did feel improvements on occasion, mostly when I really burden the pc. Plus I think having 64 gigs of ram helps there, at my old system I hit the limits sometimes. Not often, but sometimes. Now my new box just laughs at anything I try to do to it.
The bottleneck is the CPU, I've the task manager always open and I see the CPU struggles a lot (RAM sometimes when I use too many VMs, SSD not at all).
