Hey everyone
I'm trying to build a PC for work, but I'm pretty new at this. A guy in the office does renders for us (I'm an architect), and he told me he needs a monster of a machine. I'm trying to figure out the best possible build for my money.
Here's what he suggested:
1. CPU:: Threadripper 2950X
2. Cooler:: Corsair H115
3. Mother Board:: ASUS PRIME X399-A
4. RAM:: 32GB DDR4 2666MHz Kingston or Adata Flame (16X2)
5. HDD:: Seagate Barracuda Sata 6 GB/s 1TB
6. SSD:: Kingston Sata 3 A400 240GB
7. GPU:: RTX 2080 8gb
8. PSU:: Corsair 850w 80+ Bronze
9. Case:: Eagle Mirror Plus
Now, I'm thinking I definitely would change the PSU for a Seasonic Focus Plus 850W 80+ Gold. And maybe the machine would benefit greatly if we got an m.2 SSD (the SAMSUNG 970 PRO M.2 2280, for example?). But I'm not sure.
Also, is everything compatible? I heard the Corsair H115 might need some kind of adapter to fit into that Mobo, and I don't know if the case's big enough. Also, wouldn't a 2666MHz RAM (instead of a 3200MHz) bottleneck the whole thing? We need this to generate renders as quickly as possible.
Looking for any suggestions and advice. Thank you very much!
