Question I need help with a workstation pc build that have 2 rtx 4090

[Autumn Sylvie]

Hey guys, this is my system and any help would be very appreciated!

Approximate Purchase Date: Mid September .

Budget Range: 10-12k(I will be the courier and the rebate/discount is most likely not available since where I came from only have discount for a full pc build set at that particular retail shop and buying online is very risky, as my country websites are no where near newegg or amazon. And buying separately every component with the cheapest price is definitely cheaper than buying whole at 1 shop and get that discount.)

System Usage from Most to Least Important: 3D render and animation(game making), AI(such as stable diffusion), Gaming(Baldur Gate's like RPG games for understanding, Stellar blade and The first ascendant for culture reasons), and everything else.

Are you buying a monitor: Preferably with good color grading(such as delta E<2, 4k resolution, >25 inch, 120-144-160Hz)

Parts to Upgrade: Everything

Do you need to buy OS: I'm probably go with some websites that sell window key.

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg and amazon for consistency, since my country doesn't have a reliable website to buy everything. And the price is more or less give me the same idea.

Location: Vietnam

Parts Preferences: 2 RTX 4090 , a CPU with the pricing of threadripper 7970x (I could allocate more into CPU if u guys think a better CPU can make a difference/no bottleneck)

Overclocking: Yes/Maybe (If it can't be overclocked then the base clock should be decent).

SLI or Crossfire: This seems like pretty old stuff.

Your Monitor Resolution: 4K or a tiny bit more.

Additional Comments: My software is Autodesk Maya, Blender,3ds Max, Zbrush with Unity and Unreal engine. Sometimes I will use Adobe After effect , Illustrator and Photoshop.

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I plan to build a professional workstation pc for my work and I would like a system that will last at least 6,7 years and still have efficiency in late future.

Thank you guys in advance!

Thank you for your insight! I have checked the links and it seems like threadripper pro 7975wx and threadripper 7970x is a good choice for me. Though the price gap is 50% more expensive on the 7975wx but it only has extra pcie 5 lanes and an extra 1TB of max memory compare to 7970x(which I'm definitely not gonna need more than 1TB), and the rest of the specs are identical. Do you think the pcie lanes are worth it and is there something else I miss that's gonna justify the price gap?

What development tools do you intend to use? Is this for professional or personal use?

I plan to use Autodesk Maya, Blender,3ds Max, Zbrush with Unity and Unreal engine. Sometimes I will use Adobe After effect , Illustrator and Photoshop as welI. I plan to build professional so it would be future proof for at least 6,7 years and still be efficient enough in the late future.

 

[COLGeek]

I plan to build professional and I want it to last at least 6,7 years.

Not really what I meant. Will you be using this system to earn a living? Or, is this a hobby/something you want to get in to?

What you have described is going to be very expensive. Are you going to have someone build it for you or do yourself?

Yeah I will use this to earn a living. And I do this myself so I'm trying to get as many opinions and get as detail as possible.

With the system I assume it will be something like 10, 11k (I only have done the pricing on cpu , gpu and motherboard tho). With the threadripper 7870x and trx50 mother board will be like 3.1k, 2x4090 will be another 4.5k.

So I assume you have a total budget in mind. To get full recommendations for a build we need to know a few things:

So, not exactly a 4k display. But OLED so you can see the colours pop and 32:9 is 2 monitors side by side.

Thank you for the build. Do you have a monitor with IPS panel? The color and backlight of oled looks good to me, but for some reason people usually do IPS for design and color work tho. And oled have burn in as well. IPS with mini LED would be even better.
