Build Advice Help with new workstation build ?

[Johnsmint]

Hello friends,
I´m new here, and I hope the experts on hardware/3D can help me.

I need your advice on a new pc configuration I have thought up, I try to do my best but I'm not a hardware expert. Thank you very much in advance.
The purpouse of this computer is 3D/animation/rendering and 2D graphics.

Many thanks in advance.

Configuration:

Case
ASUS ProArt PA602 E-ATX MIDSID TOWER CASING
Processor (CPU)
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7960X 24-core processor (4.2GHz - 5.3GHz, 152MB CACHE)
Motherboard
GIGABYTE TRX50 AERO D (TRX50, ECC DDR5 RDIMM, PCIe 5.0, Wi-Fi 7)
Memory (RAM)
Kingston DDR5 4800 MHz 64 GB ECC Registered (1 x 64 GB)
Graphics card
Zotac Carte Graphique Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Amp Airo 12Go
1st M.2 SSD
1 TB SAMSUNG 990 PRO M.2, PCIe 4.0 NVMe (up to 7450 MB/R, 6900 MB/W)
Power supply
CORSAIR RMx SERIES™ 850 W MODULAR 80 PLUS® GOLD, SUPER QUIET

You probably wont be needing all the extra bells and whistles of the more costly Aero mobo.

This Asrock mobo might cover you needs just fine. It has

• 18+3+3 Power Phase Design, 110A SPS for VCore, more than enough for a 24 core CPU.

AIO is specially designed to have full coverage of threadripper IHS

Always go for quad channel memory with TRX50. The mobo has 4 slots. So, if you feel like 64gb might not be enough, better get 128gb now.

Storage is another big bottleneck in some workflows. So get the T705 if thats important for you.

You should also took at the mobo power pin requirements and GPU power requirements in the form of ATX 3.0 PSUs

something like this can be a good base for your system:

Good morning Lucky SLS,

Thank you very much for your reply, it is very interesting.
Only one problem in it, I have not built a computer in my life, I am a total stranger in the matter, for this reason I have configured the pc through pcspecialist (sorry I didn't name it in my post).
To this quotation I would need to add only the cpu, right?

 

[Lucky_SLS]

This is the config i would recommend from them:

Case
FRACTAL DESIGN TORRENT RGB MID TOWER CASE
Processor (CPU)
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7960X 24 Core CPU (4.2GHz - 5.3GHz, 152MB CACHE)
Motherboard
GIGABYTE TRX50 AERO D (TRX50, ECC DDR5 RDIMM, PCIe 5.0, Wi-Fi 7)
Memory (RAM)
64GB Kingston DDR5 4800MHz ECC Registered (4 x 16GB)
Graphics Card
16GB NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 4070 Ti SUPER - HDMI, DP, LHR
1st M.2 SSD Drive
2TB SOLIDIGM P44 PRO GEN 4 M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD (up to 7000MB/sR, 6500MB/sW)
2nd M.2 SSD Drive
2TB SOLIDIGM P44 PRO GEN 4 M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD (up to 7000MB/sR, 6500MB/sW)
Power Supply
CORSAIR 1200W RMx SHIFT SERIES™ MODULAR 80 PLUS GOLD, ULTRA QUIET

Power Cable
1 x 1.5 Metre UK Power Cable (Kettle Lead, 1.0mm Core)
Processor Cooling
ENERMAX LIQTECH TR4 II 360mm

And this goes to £4260.

The markup is huge!


To which quote do you want to add the CPU? Cuz your original quote has everything. I would suggest the ram configuration to either 4 X 16 GB or 4 x 32 GB - quad channel memory kit.

UK version of the part list and you find someone to build it for you:

Puff unbelievable overpricing......that hurts....
Maybe it would be interesting to locate a proffesional emsembler and provide all the parts......surely cheaper.
Thank you so much again for your help, very apreciated.
I will back with news, if it does not matter you.
