Whatcha think? Overkill?

[UncleleftNut]

I'm new in the game, and I wanted to get a good rig. Is this overkill? Or not enough? 

 

I want to get into vr and developing in unreal , if that helps.

If you look slightly to the right you can see why 4x16GB RAM is too much.

[GDRRiley]

you have way to much ram, no need for a  9900k and you are going to overpay buying from them, just build it your self.

[TheBean]

if you want to develop stuff, get ryzen. it saves you money and gets you better performance. 

build it yourself and you save another 300 bucks at least. 

 

and you can always change this

I run a Ryzen 3600, 5700XT, and 32GB of ram. For unreal engine, my pc handles it fine and I have messed around with some rather large projects. Works well with blender as well. Can't speak for vr however. 9900k may help with frame times in vr but otherwise its overkill and 64GB will just be a waste imo.

For the money I would switch to a 3900X and 32GB of ram.

That is kinda overkill for VR but it will give you a really nice experience. Also, why don't you build yourself? Prebuilts are kinda crap...

Don't really have the time. Work, home, church, repeat.

True...I'm just stacking up enough of a cushion for when I quit, honestly. Which is why I want to be sure that this rig will be good enough for a while. I want to jump on this dream full time, man.

My build took 45 minutes. Mine was basic but others are saying 1-2 hours.

I'll have to get my hands dirty, then. I've only ever dabbles in building, so I'll have to remember what's what
