Hello Community,
A little backstory before I jump-in for the main course. My current build is from 2012. Rocking a 3770k OC@4.6ghz, Sabertooth Z77, EVGA 1080ti FTW, 2x8GB of DDR3 RAMs. By the end of next month my CPU will be 7 generation behind.
Beginning of this year, I started having computer issues. I've put in multiple hours trying to troubleshoot the computer and the results has been unsuccessful. So, I'm at the point of (╯° □ °)╯︵ ┻━┻.
I've put together two different builds. Please let me know your thoughts on it. I'm planning on buying all the parts by the end of this week.
-I'm a graphic/presentation designer.
-Software I commonly used are: Photoshop 3D modeling, 4k to 8k PowerPoint production.
-Video games: Squad, Borderlands 3, Star Citizen
-1440p 34" widescreen
I'm hoping this computer with last me for 6-8 years
Intel option:
The CPU is i9-10920x (waiting for release) +$700 Link
The reason why I went with 10920x is because the high clock speed with decent core thread counts. (I'll also be getting it through a friend, which will offer me a significant discount.)
AMD option:
Link
After watching Linus video "I went AMD" I though hey, Linus is right. I want the best performance!
Cons: I've never tinker with AMD cpu before. So overclocking might be a major learning curve.
Looking for recommendation replacing SSD with two M.2.s Any combination and sizes are ok. Budget range $450 for both.
Thanks so much,
Joe
