You'll probably see a bottleneck here or there, but it shouldnt be horrible

thanks vm, I'm really excited to build in it

Oh yeah no I gotcha, just the adobe software is fairly optimized for intel processors rather than AMD, no matter the generation. I feel the safest bet would be the 9900k. Though I'll consider waiting- depending on how soon she needs the system done.

Thanks for the input! And yeah I would go AMD. But she also uses some of the Adobe applications, so Intel is performance favored a little more than AMD chips.

I have some old NF-F12 fans I'm going to put in

I'm doing a build for a friend, she does 3D art rendering, and wants to do 144hz 1440p gaming Any objection?

I can't imagine your really slow ram helps, what do your cpu and gpu usage look like?

Tried playing with boot orders at all?

According to this spreadsheet, it works fine.

Can you list full specs?

I bought smart plugs because I was going to attempt a tv esc setup with a monitor with built in speakers The monitor doesnt have a remote to turn it off and on, so I got the smart plugs to turn it off and on- but I had concerns. Could just cutting the power cause issues to the display? Or would I be okay?

7700k would be the most economical and would give you the biggest performance boost. I think it'll do fine for you Then you can spend the extra cash on a new gpu or maybe a better power supply (depending what unit it is)

Ok thanks

I'm starting to study more technical stuff on hardware and have heard these terms thrown around about power phases and such. What are they, and how do they work? What makes good VRM's?

Cheaper motherboard, case Add an SSD, You need an SSD. Change the power supply to a cx450m
