My computer currently has a X870E motherboard. Regardless of which CPU I will use, I plan to get Corsairs DDR5 128GB (64x2) sticks at 6400 speed. For the GPU I was debating to go RTX 5070Ti or 5080. 5090 is 4 grand here and draws too much power through wires anyway. As for my current CPU, I have...

I've seen 2 different videos that test CPUs for creation, not gaming. I use Premiere Pro to render and export video in 4K and 8K. One video suggested Intel is a lot faster then AMD for this, and said the U265K is actually faster then the U285K for this process. Basically the single core speed is...

Other then the few connector differences and such, is there any real reason to spend the extra $600 dollars (Canadian) on the Extreme board vs the regular? I know Aorus boards have better longevity, but I usually only keep my boards between 2 to 4 years max. Im doing content creation in 8K video...

OK fair enough. Because of pricing I might have to stick with the 5070 series or 5070 Super, instead of the 5070Ti.

That may be true, but no one wants to pay above MSRP pricing.

Theres discussion Nvidia is losing market share to AMD, and the Nvidia cards are as a result are not selling very well, partially because of the inflated prices for them. AMD is killing it right now. Keep in mind Im just talking about the midgrade 5070 series, not the high end stuff which is...

I know its all rumors at this point, but they stated we may see the Super cards this year. Being we are already in mid year at this point, is it realistic we may see the Super cards this Fall, or even by Xmas time? Im still waiting for the time to get a GPU and prices on all better cards are...

I do 8k video editing with some videos a couple hours long.

I see that Crucial has its 128GB (2 x 64GB) DDR 5 sticks out. Has anyone heard or seen any other brands also releasing a set soon? Im sticking with a cheap set of ram until I decide to get a set, but I noticed the Crucial set is only at 5600. Im wondering if they'll go higher?

They were supposedly released by both Seagate and Western Digital, but you think I could find them anywhere for sale? Same issue with the a 30TB, where can I find these? My 22TB HDD is almost full and a few years old now, so I want to swap it out.

Im looking at a single M.2 SSD and also a discrete GPU yes. I dont think my board supports 5.0 on all M.2 slots.

I have a current new motherboard which supports PCI-E 5.0 on both the GPU slot and also the M.2 slots. Yet my motherboard (Gigabyte X870E Aorus Pro) says you cant do 2 things in 5.0 from what I gather. Something about shared lanes. If I got a RTX 5080 and also the upcoming Samsung 9100 Pro 8TB...

https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5070-ti-content-creation-review/ Being I've seen a couple videos and this page above suggesting Nvidia is still the way to go when it comes to content creation, as AMD lags far behind in every test. So now I need to decide between...

I spent a lot on my system just so it can do 8k video, which is very demanding on a system. I upgrade parts every two years for some pieces like cpu, etc.
