Build me a Pc... for the same price as a 1950x and taichi x399 mobo

[Pappsy]

Okay so I recently won an x399 board and 1950x cpu from asrock. I am going to sell t so I first checked out how much it costs new. From umart (I think it's an Aus thing) it costs the equivalent of $1432.05 usd. I reckon it would be cool to see the best possible build for the same price as the cpu and motherboard.

Does this include the peripherals or just the PC?

[Glennieboyyy007]

haha, just as much as my pc XD, but now you can change the cpu and mobo for 8th gen or ryzen

Pretty good PC (I didn't try to hard though) https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LmyFRG

@herman mcpootis

Can’t he get a GTX 1080 Ti for the price of that GTX 1080?

 

Edit: Didn’t realize it was Australian currency.

Saved ya about $120 to put towards an aftermarket cooling solution if you need one.

Because he mentions doing a price check with Umart which is an AUS retailer so I assume he is in Australia.

Yes, he is. But he says the cost to which the build should be priced is in usd.

giving him a list in USD would mean jackshit to him when he's in australia since prices are different, and availability varies.

Right. But I'm supposed to do the conversions on the fly as I build his machine in aud?

Start with an empty list set to Australia. Add the Threadripper 1950X and ASRock Taichi. Totals AU$ 1,833. Now start a clean Aus build shooting for AU$1,833.

Or, TS can copy my list and add those parts in a pcppdotcomdotau or whichever the url might be parts list and see how it works out.

Pcpartpicker has an Australian choice if you didn't know. Your build is going to be well over his budget anyway.

 

No price listed for the psu or windows.........

that PSU is very old and not worth it at all for that price. stick with the TX550M instead. get 2x8gb instead of using up all your slots.the mx300 performs better than the WD blue and get a 1080 with a better cooler.
