Thanks for the quick reply. Appreciate it

I am currently looking into graphics cards to buy for my current build. 3970X in Asus Zenith with custom water cooling. Currently have an evga 2070 super ftw 3 installed. I am looking into possibly a workstation graphics card and would like some advice. Maybe a rtx 4000 or rtx 5000. The four main programs the computer is used for are Unity, Blender, Inventor, and Premiere Pro. Any help would be appreciated, thank you

Jurrunio, Thanks for the reply. Will look into the motherboards. Just went with the Asus as it seemed to have a friendly BIOS. Will look into 64GB 3600 kits to start with from the beginning. Thanks

Building new computer with primary focus on Blender for design and rendering. Planning on investing a decent amount into the system to get it started and up and running, but will be adding on and upgrading as i complete projects and create some revenue. I was planning on AMD Ryzen 9 3900X or 3950X, since AMD plans on keeping the socket around and would allow me to possibly upgrade in the future. Also, for the high core count to help with render times. I currently currently own the Lian Li PC-011 case, would like to make a full liquid cooled loop in the future. Also, already own the Samsung 970 Evo, which I will store my OS and software on. I plan on using the PCIe 4 for a NVME drive which i will store my working files on. Have some 4TB hard drives for storing old files on, thinking RAID configuration possibly?

Would it be better to run (2) 1660 series or a single 20 series card? 2) Currently would like to get 2 x 16GB of ram, was thinking 3200 cl16, or maybe a higher frequency would be better. This will allow me to add 2 more sticks in the future. Should I just bite the built and go 64gb from the beginning. Thank you for your time and any help in this process.

Hello all, New to this forum. I am looking for some advice or some help on designing/building a rig for mainly CFD simulation and some light Autodesk Inventor. I have about a 5000 usd budget to work with. If I do go the route of the server I would be looking for a setup I could add to and upgrade overtime as more money comes available. I have read that Inventor runs based on single core performance, if I remember correctly, but as I make the transition to more CFD simulations I am curious if I would be better off going with a server and being able to run several simulations at once. Any advice would be helpful, thank you all for your help. Michael
