Well It's been a while since I last logged in.
about 2 years ago I upgraded to FX8350 and Now I am slowly upgrading my other components to buy a ThreadRipper, SO I want to upgrade due to a number of things, I have a very well paid job now, my partner moved in and we are Financially Secure, and splashing out on top of the range is finally in my reach.
Graphics I have is an Asus ROG X580 8GB
PSU Is a Corsair VS650 I believe I will need to upgrade this, to a 1kW PSU but can you confirm this?
RAM It will be DDR4 beginning with a 16GB kit that is compatible with the Motherboard.
Case, This is the one I am having the most trouble is, Now I know most of the case you choice is dictated by the size and form factor of the motherboard, but all the TR4 motherboards I have seen are E-ATX and from the research I did on this form, it is bigger and some have bigger back plate sockets, is this true?
Motherboard,
I was thinking of the Gigabyte X399 Aorus Gaming 7
or
Asus X399 Zenith Extreme
Both Motherboards deliver what I want, MOST Notably the M.2 Sockets, USB3.1 and USB C. I am not Fussed with the RGB capabilities.
Which would you go for?
CPU As previously mentioned I will be going with the thread ripper, now all of them do what I want, so I am not fussed what one I get. I would like to have the 1950X but I am happy with any of them.
I would like to go third party cooling, now I know what to get with Air, but is it work going WaterCooled? If I did I would look into Closed Loop versions, three fans versions, but I haven't found any buy a brand I know for TR4, so it would be a air cooler and a case with Huge capability for fans.
If you have any pointers or comments don't hold back. because this is a PC that I want to last me a very long time.
you will want to know the usage;
Music Production, Video editing, getting back into 3D graphics and Gaming.
