Hello all,
I'm Looking to upgrade my old Intel system by switching to a current and comparable version of an AMD system.
I use my PC, obviously, for daily tasks. I use SketchUp and V-Ray for casual designs and rendering (about 10 to 15 hrs a week). I work on heavily compiled Excel files for my work. And, last but not least, if and when I have time, I play COD Warzone /MP, and a few strategic games such as Civ 6, C&C, etc. I also would like to setup a few VMs for various projects on my new PC. While I am pretty sure the PC I wish to build is going to be an overkill now, I usually upgrade every 4 years or so. So, please keep that in mind for future proofing. Also, where I live, everything is overpriced, therefore price sensitivity is not a factor.
Current setup:
CPU: Intel Core i7 6700K
Mobo: ASUS Maximus VIII Formula
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V Series F4-2400C15-8GVR x 4 (32GB in Total)
Graphics: ASUS GTX 1080 OC Edition 8GB
PSU: Corsair AX1200i
Cooling: Corsair Hydro Series H110i
Case: Corsair Graphite Series 760T FT
Storage: 860 EVO Pro 1Tb x 2
This was a sweet rig back in its day. To some extent still is.
Wish to upgrade to:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 3950X
Mobo: ASUS Crosshair VIII Hero (Thought about Forumla, but I am not into watercooling that much)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3200MHz C16
Graphics: GeForce RTX™ 2080 Ti OC edition 11GB GDDR6
PSU: Corsair RM850 (Already own this)
Cooling: Hydro Series H115i RGB Platinum
Case: Corsair Crystal Series 570X
Storage: 970 EVO Plus SSD 1TB - M.2 NVMe x 2
Lots of RGB 🤦♂️...
Why the case? Because, I'm nearly a middle-aged man, who likes a case with clean profile, but I also don't mind to indulge in a little (!) bit of RGB. The only thing with this case that I am worried about is whether with the front tempered glass it provides adequate airflow.
Why ASUS? Because, I choose ASUS in the past at some point for reasons then logical to me, and over the course stuck with it. I have no rigid preference in this matter, but if I can still stick with (since I am familiar with it) all the better.
If you have any suggestions, I'd be more than grateful if you shared them. Thanks...
