Hi guys! I've been lurking in the forums for years...this is my first post I think lol...
I started doing 3d rendering (export animations to 4k resolution, among other things) and my current build won't cut it anymore (3770k, 16gb dd3, gtx970 and samsung 500gb ssd)
So...upgrade time!
My understanding it's that threadripper will be better for me because of the 60 pcie lanes available for gpu, nvme, etc...
Here it's my list...I would appreciate any suggestions...
CPU: AMD Threadripper 1950X
CPU Cooler: Thermaltake Water 3.0 Riing
Motherboard: Asus ROG Zenith Extreme
RAM: GSKILL 64GB
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 1TB
I already have 2 Asus 1080 Ti Strix 11GB arriving this week, along an EVGA Supernova 1200w
In the future I'll be adding 2 more 1080 Ti (I know that it won't fit because of the cooler that the cards came with...but at that point I'll be doing a custom loop)
The 1200w PSU won't cut it by the time I add two more 1080 Ti's?
What do you think? Or should I go with x299?
Thanks!!
