Hello
I'm planning to get a new PC and could use some advice. The main purpose of the PC is to handle various tasks in Unreal Engine, Blender, and other programs. This includes but is not limited to building lighting, compiling shaders, working with large texture files etc.. The PC should also perform reasonably well at games and video rendering and editing.
I currently have i7-4770, GTX770 2GB, 16GB DDR3 RAM, Kingston 480GB SSD and while it's doing okay, it is beginning to age for what is demanded of it.
The planned build:
Sharkoon NIGHT SHARK Blue Case (I just like the look of it but I'm fine going with a different one)
Seasonic Prime SSR-1300GD 1300W (possibly overkill? Just wanted to be on the safe side considering the CPU)
MSI x399 SLI PLUS
AMD TR 2950x
Corsair H115i
HyperX Fury White 64GB (4x16) DDR4 2933
MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Gaming 8G
SSD EVO M.2 970 1TB (This one would be used for all the heavy tasks)
SSD EVO 860 1TB (Windows would be installed on this one + other less important programs as well as games)
Seagate BarraCuda 3TB (this one for clutter )
Approximate Purchase Date: This Month
Budget Range: Up to $4500
My current monitor setup: 1x 32" 1440p, 2x 24" 1080p
My main thoughts:
- Is everything well compatible? Could there be any issues with one component hindering others?
- Is threadripper going to deliver enough of a performance difference to be worth it? If not, I'd instead go with MSI X470 and Ryzen 2700x and save about $900.
- 64GB RAM might be overkill but considering the workload and future-proofing, I'd rather not undershoot this one.
- I've always struggled with lack of SSD space and I'd rather invest more into that and not have to think about it when handling lots of large files.
Thanks in advance for your input
