  1. awesome guys, thanks for the tips and suggestions - I'm keen to learn overclocking the 1700 so that might be the option we end up going for (the only reason I said I don't plan on overclocking was to maybe not get the K series, which as I understand it has the unlocked multiplier...). I've just used intel for as long as I can remember, and didn't even think about the Ryzen series at all for this build to be honest. As for the graphics card, we're gonna go for Geforce instead of Quadro - since the missus don't do 3D stuff, just 2D (lots of vector graphics), I don't think spending that money on the quadro will actually be worth it then. Thanks for all the advice good people, much appreciated!
  2. awesome thanks guys, yeah I can get a Ryzen 7 1700 for ZAR4900 (about $380), which is about ZAR600 cheaper than the 7700k
  3. Hey everyone! My wife is a freelance graphic designer, and she's due for a new workstation PC (not Mac). She currently works on a MSI gaming laptop (a few years old, i7, 16gig ram, ssd, GTX760m) - her main programs are Adobe Illustrator CC, Photoshop and InDesign. The big question - would it be worth the money to get something like a Quadro P2000 for her new pc instead of a Geforce card? We're in South Africa, and the cost of a P2000 is around ZAR8000 to ZAR9500 ($620 - $735 based on current exchange rates). I could get for the same amount a GTX1070 or even a 1080. It's gonna be coupled with at least 32gigs of RAM, and the CPU will either be a i7 7700K (4 core), or the i7 7800X (6 core). Question time: 1. For what she does (no gaming, just designing) P2000 vs GTX1070/1080 - which will give her better performance in Illustrator, Photoshop and Indesign? 2. I don't plan on overclocking, and for only about (ZAR500 / $40) more I can get the 7800X cpu which is a six core vs the 7700k which is the quad core - which would serve her better - from what I can tell the 7700k will give better single core performance, but only just? Thanks so much in advance for your feedback! Cheers from South Africa Rudi
  4. This will go very nicely in my man-cave 27 inches is just not enough anymore
