  1. Yeah it's good fun, finally found something that I really enjoy Alright, definately getting a cheaper option then. Overclocking isn't something I'm experienced in and stability is as you said important in a work PC. That list is wonderful! Bless the soul who created it. I'm thinking either the "Crosshair VIII Hero" or "Aorus Master" might be a better fit. They're much cheaper than the Xtreme, and in stock at the place I usually order from. Any thoughts on those two? Yeah the virus is pretty terrifying, I'm self quarantining due to an immune compromised family member. Part prices have been shooting up in Aus, so I'm pretty keen to order everything before they go even higher. Fingers crossed work doesn't slow down too much, but if it does at least I've got my family. Plus the money left over from getting a cheaper motherboard will be a huge bonus. Thanks for much for you help, it's really appreciated. I hope things are well on your end.
  2. This is exactly why I knew posting on here was a good idea, lot's of people saying my motherboard choice is overkill and I'm more than happy to choose a more affordable option. Interestingly, the Crosshair VIII Hero was something I considered earlier on. I'll look into the options you suggested! At least now my savings won't be completely wiped ahaha Okay did a little digging with the RAM specs you suggested, do you think the "G.Skill Trident Z Neo RGB 32GB (2x 16GB) DDR4 3600MHz Memory - 16-19-19-39" would be a good choice? I might actually use the money I'll save on the motherboard for a new power supply, my current one is pretty old. At least 3 years +. It'd be disastrous if I lost all my parts, definitely not worth the risk. Thank you so much for all this advice, I feel a little less like a fish out of water now.
  3. That name came up a lot when I was looking online earlier, great to know the models would be a good choice. Thanks for the advice
  4. Okay great, I confess I didn't know QVL was a thing so thank you for educating me haha. A 3600mhz kit it is. Big relief to know I don't have to update the power supply any time soon, my savings will be pretty wiped after this. Getting an expensive motherboard because I freelance in 3D art/VFX and do a lot of rendering, current build can't handle a lot of what I want to do. Sick of stuttering and long render times!
  5. Not just for gaming, that's my hobby side of things. I freelance as a 3D and VFX artist, and do a LOT of rendering. Can't really take things to the next level career wise without upgrading my build beyond just gaming. Wouldn't spend so much otherwise
  6. Hey all! So I had a gaming computer built for me years back, and it's in desperate need of an upgrade. Unfortunately I don't know all that much when it comes to the technical side of computers, and despite doing my research I would love some feedback and advice from those who truly know what they're talking about. Took ages to save up so I don't want to make any beginner mistakes. I decided on these upgrades; CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3950x Motherboard: Gigabyte X570 AORUS XTREME (I also considered the "MSI MEG X570 GodLike", performance wise would it make much of a difference?) RAM: ??? What would you recommend RAM wise? I use my computer for recording/streaming, rendering, and gaming pretty performance heavy games which I tend to mod the hell out of. My current setup can't handle recording on top of running a game, and rendering times are ridiculous. I'm happy to shell out a good amount of money, I've been saving for awhile to make this possible. Other Spec's; CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken Liquid CPU Cooler Main Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 500 GB SSD Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 TI Power Supply: Corsair RM 650 W (Will this need an upgrade too?) Thanks in advance, I appreciate any help
