Hello- looking for advice on motherboards in particular, and general feedback on this build (outside of the 4090/i9 14900k which, although overkill for my uses, I settled on).
Currently contemplated build: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Calnoc/saved/HGpjGX
Already have the RTX 4090 Gaming OC 24GB and PNY GeForce RTX 4090 24GB XLR8 Gaming VERTO EPIC-X RGB – will return one, feedback appreciated (was trying to get a Founders Edition but had no luck)
Approximate Purchase Date: this week
Budget Range: Flexible, already budged for 4090 + i9 14900k
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Daily Productivity (excel, python – but no heavy machine learning), ultrawide/4k gaming – aware the system will be overkill for that, but don’t want to upgrade for a long time.
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: New build:
Specifically looking for advice on Motherboard, decision between two 4090 GPUs and general build feedback. Motherboard wise, looking for whatever is sufficiently high quality to last 5-10y, but don’t need high end extra features (e.g. only need at most two m2 drives, maybe 1 SATA). Don’t need PCIE5 SSD and have read that’ll be a tiny hit to GPU performance given it’ll drop from x16 to x8. Wifi is a nice to have. Don’t have an extra CPU to update bios if board needs it on arrival to be compatible with 14th gen, so if that might be necessary want some sort of easy BIOS update from USB.
The current motherboard in the build specifies on the ASROCK Riptide QVL page that the 4TB WD SN850X is compatible, but the 2TB is not listed – presume that’s unlikely to cause an issue?
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Anything with quick shipping
Location: Greater New York City area
Parts Preferences: Intel
Overclocking: Most likely no unless exceptionally easy.. maybe will undervolt GPU
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: 3440 x 1440 165hz primary (Alienware AW3423DWF), also use an older 4k Acer XB280HK as a second screen
Additional Comments: Quiet and low maintenance preferred
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Prior machine 8 years old
Thanks!
