About around a week and a half ago, I sat down and composed my next system, so my current one can replace my wife's decrepit 4th gen, or older, intel. Selected parts below:

----------

 

- AMD Ryzen 7 3800X

- SSD 250GB 1.5/3.4G 970 EVO PLUS M.2

- XILENCE Performance X Modular 750W ATX

- HyperX 16 GB DDR4-3200 Predator Kit (HX432C16PB3/16, Predator, XMP)

- Asrock B450 STEEL LEGEND

- Enermax Equilence bk ATX
- Noctua NH-D15
- 3x Fractal D. Dynamic X2 GP-12

- EVGA 6GB D6 RTX 2060 KO

- 3x Scythe Kaze Flex SlimPWM 1800 120x120x27

 

----------

 

My main purpose for this machine is to run a few vm's, do a few podcasts, be future proof for a long while to come (at least eight years or so), and certainly above all... folding. My issue however is the GPU: it's seemingly pritty darn difficult to get hold of any evga stuff, witch is fine, but should I actually wait, or should I call the store and tell them to put in one of the gpu's below, keeping in mind that I'd like to get the maximum performance out of it for folding above all else, and that I can't use any tools (to my limited knowledge at least) that will allow overclocking or undervolting. [msi afterburner really doesn't interact well with screen reading software period, so I am required to rely on what ever I can do to make the gpu run as best as possible from a hardware perspective]

- INNO3D GeForce RTX 2060 Twin X2 grafische kaartHDMI, 3x DisplayPort

- MSI GeForce GTX 1660 Ti GAMING X 6G grafische kaartHDMI, 3x DisplayPort

All cards were picked in the same pricepoint, so i'm currently limiting myself to those for making things easy...

Any thaughts will be apriciated.

Well, it seems, that one more week did the trick. I know patience is a virtue and so on, but hey, no one is perfect. I'd still like opinions though on the part selection and if the EVGA GPU is still the most folding points for the buck in relation to the other mentioned gpus above. Also, if anyone has any ideas on other tools I could check out for graphics card performance adjustments [undervolting, power limits etc...] please drop a line. MAI afterburner, even though seemingly extensive... simply doesn't work for me due to the issues with screen reading programs. To be fairly blunt, I pritty much doubt any program is going to work, but maybe, some manifacturer, maybe, maybe... just accidentally made the app useable... or maybe some dev or other, just made my life a bit easyer... lol
