Home Workstation V3 - The Final Revision!

[A1200]

Hi all, I call this a home workstation because I am in no way a gamer but decided to build a beefy system for working at home and some (very) light gaming purely as a technical exercise- I am fascinated by great feats in engineering and the evolution of hardware and software to give us what we have available today. What I have learned is computing at this level is expensive! And I didn't even go "all in" - stuck to 9th gen Intel / not the fastest RAM / not a 2080ti or 30xx / only 2TB storage. So kudos to the gamers who really want the best rig to give them any edge possible. I couldn't ever recall a system costing so much with near-flagship parts in the 90s but perhaps I am looking back with rose-tinted glasses. This is now the final revision of this rig - the poor case has had an i7 3770k & i7 9700f before settling with this latest iteration. So, any further building in the future will be a scratch build.

 

It really is a nice machine - but I ask not what my machine can do for me, rather, what can I do with this machine as it totally overkill for what home/work tasks I would typically do on a PC. I know that whether it be gaming, 3D rendering/CAD, music/video production, sysadmin/coding, web browsing, office applications etc. for the next few years at least, there isn't much I couldn't throw at it and it would struggle. As my daughter becomes more IT aware, if she was to use it for school, games etc. I know she won't be complaining the computer is too slow that's for sure - for now anyway!

Updated benchmarks - after tweaking got much more performance.
