AMD EPYC Build

[VonAbaddon]

Budget: $2500

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Cad Work, Blender, video editing, Video Rendering/3D rendering, also gaming here and there

Pretty much I been looking into AMD EPYC instead of doing threadripper at the moment. the prices on Ebay I have been seeing have been reasonably priced on motherboards and CPU's.

Also Want the sever grade stuff where I do not have to upgrade for quite a bit. At the moment I'm on a 1st gen Ryzen and its been bad lol. just looking on good prices and what your opinions on it.

Thanks!

The server grade stuff most likely won't be the best for your workloads. They have a much lower power draw, so it will not have as high of a base clock or boost clock.

Do you have a reason for going with EPYC instead of a 3950x or 5950x?

Well At the moment trying to find stuff like that is kind of a pain to find them at a decent price without breaking the bank on them lol

HOw about a 10850k? Should be plenty fast for those uses, and faster than a epyc at the same price.

Also be careful if you do buy an EPYC on ebay, you need to make sure it'll work with your mobo. Because some OEM's lock the CPU so it only works with their boards.

 

Doubt you'd want to be stuck with a very expensive coaster/paperweight.

a 10850k is a decent Idea, like was previously mentioned, or you could just wait for prices to go back down and get something like a 3900x/3950x.

you know its seems like its been easier to get intel stuff now a days instead of AMD and from what I heard the i9 10850k does its job pretty good.
