Posted March 20, 2019 Hello community, I don't know if I'm posting on the right thread/forum but I apologize for the hardcore vets that I may annoy this will be my first post on here and I'm really glad I have somewhere to ask for the information I seek. For the community out there reading this, I am in the need of some advice and/or suggestions. I am a college student who wants to find the perfect workstation for my needs at this given point of time. I appreciate any suggestions and advice! Heres what I am looking for: Spending limit: 2000$ I want this to be a long term workstation pc that I can just buy the latest processor and "update" in a sense Need something really powerful that can handle music, video, photo/editing on a daily basis It'd be cool to have it VR ready since I plan on saving for one in the future but that's the least of my problems I usually play League of Legends but would like to run Steam for FPS games like R6 Siege or any game really I would spend extra money on cooling systems and anything that can keep my workstation fairly quiet--open to suggestions I have a BenQ XL2430T monitor if that information helps Lastly, it has to look like a chick magnet! (Subjective but open to all interpretation lol) Oh one more thing! I know you get parts from different store/sites but I am getting financial help with this build/buy, so either something thats consumer ready or a build that I can print out and order just from one site So probably the only downside to all of this is that, is there really a workstation of my dreams right now out there? And if she is, where might she be? Really thanks for helping! - H.W.D.K.M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 20, 2019 you have a 1080p monitor so there is no need to go overkill with a 2080ti or anything an 1660ti will be more than sufficient choose the r7 2700 as the cpu because it is an amazing workstation chip at this price if you need more power you can get a threadripper 32gs of ram cause since your using a workstation it might be helpful you can always not get it if you dont need it not sure what chick magnet means but at least the theme is relatively consistent PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant Type Item Price CPU AMD - Ryzen 7 2700 3.2 GHz 8-Core Processor $219.99 @ Amazon CPU Cooler ARCTIC - Freezer 33 eSports ONE (Black/Red) CPU Cooler $37.49 @ Newegg Motherboard MSI - B450 TOMAHAWK ATX AM4 Motherboard $114.99 @ B&H Memory G.Skill - Aegis 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory $39.89 @ OutletPC Memory G.Skill - Aegis 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory $39.89 @ OutletPC Memory G.Skill - Aegis 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory $39.89 @ OutletPC Memory G.Skill - Aegis 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory $39.89 @ OutletPC Storage Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive $44.89 @ OutletPC Video Card Zotac - GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 6 GB GAMING Video Card $278.99 @ SuperBiiz Case Phanteks - Eclipse P300 Tempered Glass (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case $55.98 @ Newegg Power Supply Corsair - TXM Gold 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply $64.98 @ Newegg Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total (before mail-in rebates) $996.87 Mail-in rebates -$20.00 Total $976.87 Generated by PCPartPicker 2019-03-20 12:08 EDT-0400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually looking at the i9 specifically when I was looking for a workstation but I heard I might need that much cores and it might just be a waste having that much core when the programs I'm running is like only 8 cores? At least I think thats what I understood from a YT video lol, please correct me if I'm wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be weird if it was limited to 8 cores.
