I'm in the middle of a funk with my rig, I have to wait till after the holidays to finish buying the last 16gbs of ram I need.
I can work on my renders till then on either two verions of my rig.
Version 1, Z97-K, i7-4790, 2 x 1080s with 32gbs of ram
or
Version 2, Z370, i5-8600k, 2 x 1080s with only 16gbs of ram - this would be the mobo and cpu I upgraded to....but i haven't finished off my ram.
It's worth noting that I never got to run the 1080s on my original rig (z97 and 4790) so i'm not sure how that would go.
What do you think?

Easily, i5-8600k, its not much of a contest!
My opinion? DAZ Studio isn't going to tax either of those systems particularly, assuming that the 1080's in the older machine are working properly and you are using the GPUs for rendering in Iray. During rendering the CPU's are going to be primarily taking care of housekeeping chores. Despite the fact that benchmarks would rate the 8600k faster, if neither system is being taxed that doesn't really mean too much, IMO. So, while you are waiting on your RAM, flip a coin.
