Hello I am a SAAS developer and would like to build my own PC.

before ordering my part I really would like some feeddack from you guys.

 

Hereby the part i plan on buying

• Case : Corsair Crystal 280X (MicroATX) White
• Motherboard : MSI B450m Mortar Titanium AMD
• CPU : AMD Ryzen 7 3700x 
• CPU cooler : Cooler Master RR-H4111-20PW-R1
• Power : Corsair RM750x,750 watt, 80 plus gold
• RAM : Corsair Vengeance RGB pro 2x16Gb DDR4, 3200Mhz
• SSD : Corsair Force MP510 - 240 GB OR WD black SN750 500GB
• GPU : MSI RTX 2060 Ventus XS 6g OC
• RGB Corsair LL120 x 4 with controller

Please let me know what you think and if everything fits the MicroATX case or if there are some bottle necks

If you’re getting an MSI 400 series motherboard, make sure it says MAX in the product name. Those are Ryzen 3000 ready out of the box.

 

for gpu, look at the EVGA 2060 KO, it uses the 2080 die with a ton of cores melted off. Long story short, it’s 50% more efficient in CUDA accelerated tasks. I don’t actually know anything about SAAS so if it would be best to confirm with someone about that does before you specifically hunt down this gpu.

Thanks Jumballi, no experiebce with GPU's so great feedback thanks

as a SAAS i use a lot of webapplications at the same time with a lot of browser tabs a

I can't comment on the specific models of each component but the overall build looks good.

 

32GB of RAM is not exaggerated here as IDEs use quite a lot of memory for full code coverage, and running a bunch of docker containers eats it up faster than you can free it. We're not even speaking about the consumption of electron apps or just the gazillion tabs that you have open.

 

 The multicore CPU is a very good choice if you have long compile times such as Android development, large scala or c++ code bases or heavily use virtualisation, otherwise 8 cores aren't really needed.

 

I would definitely go for a 500GB SSD and put all your code on this as it speeds up file indexing and tracking tremendously. Remember also that your docker images cache can take up a significant amount of space. If you have good file management then you might make it work with 240GB and offload unused files to a cold storage such as a standard harddisk, but this is more cumbersome.

 

You can cheap out on the GPU as a normal developer if you don't touch it explicitly. Remember that webgl also benefits from a good GPU if you're roaming around in the javascript world which is common for a SAAS developer.
