need some advice

[mrRaw]

Hi, im planning to build new pc in next month or so cuz my old one died on me and i have few questions. I'm currently using pc for music production in ableton and i work quite alot in sketchup and pro engineer but main goal of spending abit more is to get into video editing mostly tons of 10second 1080/4k from gopro into 10min clips. I used to work in sony vegas but i will mostly use premiere now i think. gaming is in no way priority 

my "soon to be" setup

 

CPU Ryzen 3700x

GPU asus tuf 1660 Ti (on sale atm here)

MB gigabyte x570 aorus elite

RAM corsair vengence lpx 3200 2x16gb

PSU corsair cxm550

CPU cooler noctua nh-u12a

CASE cooler master nr600 + 1 more fan in front 

 

1st question is about storage

i want to take advantage of both m2 slots with additional ssd + some hdds for storage

is it worth to have os and programs on m2 or should i have like 250gb sata for this and use one m2 for temps and other for quick access to content

im looking at 970 evo plus (one 250gb and one 500gb) for 2.5 im thinking of wd blue 3dnand 1tb and i allready have 2x wd red 2tb and was thinking of getting third one for raid 5 storage

 

and 2nd

if i'll have some spare budget would it be overkill to go with 3950x (3800 and 3900x doesnt interest me as much) or should i maybe consider higher tier gpu

 

3rd

is 550W enough.. im only planning to overclock it if necessary

 

Thanks in advance for advices :)

1. Intel 660P 512GB or 1TB up to you. Evo sounds good but since you already have large M.2 like intel 660P i dont think you need more SSD. just get the WD blue 3TB. i put OS and APP in my M.2 Nvme.

2. if you do edit 4k not 1080p with lot of effect yes. others no.

3. CXM is similar to Rmx in price. get the Rmx tho. 550W is fine but 650W if you want better upgrade parth.

 

[mrRaw]

thanks for reply.

cxm is 75e rmx is 102e or 119 for 650w

if i go with 660p instead of evo plus i can make that diffrence easy if its worth upgrading

 

so 1660ti is enough and i should consider 3950x if going for 4k?

quick update what i bought and some more of same questions

 

This is how far i got till now

 

MB - Gigabyte x570 auros elite 229€

GPU - KFA2 gtx 1070 ex ( more cuda's over 1660ti and 8gb but ddr5 ) 209€

RAM - Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000 32gb ( i could not get 3200 or 3600 of 32mm profile ram in stock so 3000 will have to do ) 144.23€

BOOT DRIVE - Intel 660p 1tb 124.80€

CPUFAN - Noctua NH-D15 103.80€

PSU - be quiet!  Pure Power 11 600W  ( rmx not in stock ) 90.79€

CASE - cooler master nr600 (w/o odd) 79,54€

 

i still need advice on work storage. Ive seen videos of bottleneck with qlc and got me abit worried about this when considering my main drive to work with.(i often transfer folders with 100+gb )  Should i just buy 2tb 660p and just never go over 50% or should consider maybe mlc ssd. 

*For archive ive bought another 2tb wd red but ive put togheter pc with freenas (idk if im gonna change) so i have 3x 2tb wd red in raid z so my pc is now only with 1 nvme (for now)*

 

Second is again CPU... im stuck in my head with this one

i really wanted to get 3950x just because i dont want to upgrade anytime soon and even tho i dont need that much power atm i dont want to think in few year "if only i went with it back then" but yes...it is IMPOSSIBLE to get it in stock here (30+day wait they say) and price is still 1050+€ so i'll have to go with eather 3700x/3800x/3900x and i really dont know witch to chose...im really overthinking this and i think i only need a good slap across the face for this one rather than advice...

 

to sum it up...i need advice for work disk and a slap i guess 

(btw i am going to buy hdds for pc too but for month or so nas with gigabit network will do i think)

Go with 3900. You can always upgrade down the line (the beauty of going ryzen) with the 4950 or whatever and in terms of storage, some of the best cheap drives are sabrent rocket and silicon power a80

[mrRaw]

went with 3900x  coming in wednesday

 

non of these drives are even listed in shops here  

found them on ebay tho. do they have similar problem as 660p's with that massive speed reduction

No, that's why I recommended them. What shops are you looking at? Corsair mp510 and inland premium are also good

[mrRaw]

i use ceneje.si as search engine..it has close to 100% of our sites 

 

I'm used to buying over ebay(mostly eu) but if its possible i buy from here just because warranty issues 

 

again here mp510 is only in 1.9tb and i think its abit overkill for work drive 

 

[mrRaw]

It posts 12 core still need drives and fans but ok   12cores

[boggy77]

overclock that ram

[mrRaw]

Tnx...this is first time turned on so xmp is not yet enabled ram is 3000 cl15 but not set yet

[mrRaw]

Yes it is...its 1070 mini

1070 is 209 1070 ti is 278 (kfa2)

[Sir0Tek]

It looks like a great deal and I also went through the shop for more. But, it seems that's these 2 cards are the only interesting offers for as far as I can tell. Yeesh, I am actually not looking for another graphics-card but if I were...

[mrRaw]

These are oem u get it without box or anything...thats why lower price...just gpu in plastic wrap

 

Boggy thanks... I was looking at adata 8200 around same price 

[boggy77]
