    The mockup I used included cpu, air cooler, motherboard, 128GB of memory, 2 NVMe M.2, 4 hdd, and 2 GTX 1080 Ti. If the second gpu is not included the estimate drops to !~750W. The number shown by pcpartpicker is the total of max power draw specified by the various component manufacturers or an industry standard (i.e. fans are calculated at 5W each). There is data to suggest that these numbers are significantly higher than that experienced in the real world.
     
    If not overclocking a 1200W psu is going to be more than enough for a two gpu system. 1000W would be good for a single gpu system. Consider a Seasonic Prime Platinum, Corsair HX, or Evga P2 model.

    Person there managed to get a Flare X kit to 3600 13 13 13 13 34 52
     
    Person here managed to get 3600 as well, but not sure on timings.

    What motherboard? It's usually 2 and 4, but look at your motherboard's manual it should mention exactly what you're looking for

    just_bob got a reaction from Taf the Ghost in TR 1950X Build for 2850€   
    I would agree 1950X is the better investment. GPU is the least important component when it comes to Houdini, unless you can afford a Quadro. While some nodes do allow OpenCL utilization, giving the GPU a chance to help out with computing, it requires a lot of VRAM and gaming cards don't really provide much in that area. So GPU is mostly for viewport rendering and considering you're getting TR, there is no point of using GPU for rendering. I use 1070 (8GB VRAM) and I don't intend on changing that one for a while. I would reconsider your RAM choice since using playback in real time often means shoving several gigabytes of data into RAM per each frame. I am still trying to figure out how detrimental RAM speeds can be for the CPU when it comes to Zen architecture aswell.
