Buliding a Threadripper system for my school

[bendik1704]

Hi, as the title say I am building a high-end desktop for my school. The usage will be mainly large photoshop files for printing in large format. The pc will also be used for editing large 4k files from sony fs5 and canon eso r, and possibly playing some games between classes at 60hz (for the lols).

I'm posting a picture of the specs since I live in Norway where the selection of parts are somewhat limited and prices being different from USA.

Any recommendations regarding the build or things I should reconsider? 

I have chosen b-die ram, is that worth a price gap of 1700 kr (200 usa dollars) ? (g.skill vs HyperX Predator DDR4 3200MHz 32GB)

Would it give sense to buy an SSHD as a secondary drive for 20 dollars extra?

Thoughts on 750w?

Are you sure you don't want more storage for 4k stuff?

22 000 ssg kills whoaw. I dont think so, this pc won't be used as a storage for older projects, just the editing and after that being deleted.

An i7 9700K will perform significantly better while being cheaper and more stable.

I actually did not know how bad TR was in photoshop compared with Intel, guess I was a little naive. I have made a new build now (but with i9 for the extra 5-10%)

any thoughts on WD nvmi vs Samsung nvmi, the wd is a bit cheaper

 

Would love to hear your opinion on this one

This is looking much better, Adobe now supports QuicSync which uses Intel iGPU for hardware acceleration was outperforms just adding CPU cores just how CUDA is amazing for a lot of stuff.

 

When you turn it on even the thing that should always favor Ryzen/TR which is rendering times you see an i7 8700K neck on neck with the first gen Threadripper 1950X 16c/32t.

 

And the actual editing, effects, previews, warp, filters whatever else you favors single thread performance, so the i9 9900K is the best chip for the workload.

 

The build looks quite excellent being honest... if you can find the Seasonic Prime Platinum 650 or 550 for around the price of that 750w gold that'd be worth it as you'll still have enough wattage for the system but cheapening even more on electric bills.
