Need help with a build guys

[saqibG]

Hi guys, I’m new to the whole pc build world. Basically my old computer is knackered. I had been looking to buy a ready made mini tower but the ones with a good spec are way too expensive. I need the pc for heavy multi tasking. I want to buy the i7-6950X as it’s got  25MB cache, also was thing of fitting a Dominator Platinum 32Gb (4c8Gb) 4000MHz memory kit to it. Problem is that I don’t know what mini atx motherboard to use as I want a mini pc tower. It has to be a air cooled build. Can anyone please give me some advice as I don’t want to overspend. The two items I’ve chose are expensive as it is. Thank you

1. What will you do with it? application name preferred

 

2. Budget?

There are cheaper new stuff with same performance, so you are overspending already even if your work makes sense to use a 10-core workstation

It involves opening loads of windows, sometimes 1000 at a time. The budget I have is £2500. Thank you

That doesn't really help in determining the hardware required.

 

1. Are you running commercial applications? If so, which ones?
2. If not, is the software highly multithreaded or single threaded?
3. Are fps or other gpu intensive games being run?
4. How much storage is required?
5. How much memory is required?
6. Does the budget include o/s and any peripherals?

i will not be running games on this pc. I want to have 1.5 Tb storage. 500MB FOR THE COMPUTER AND 1Tb for the software. Both sad. 32Gb memory is needed. The budget does not include o/s. My system is running a huge bot. Thank you

[saqibG]

Instead of the 1tb for the software I don’t mind having a SSD 960 EVO NVMe M.2 500GB. I just need it to be able to perform 1000 tasks at one time. Also the case I want to use for the build is the Louqe Ghost S1

hmmm a bot huh...

 

I7 8700k should be fine but go for the Ryzen 7 1800x if you want to go all out. The i7 6950x just doesn't make much sense right now. A better choice would be the i7 7820x.

I assume you can get your hands on the case because i can't find it. Heres a pc parts picker list (no mobo or case):

Here link to the motherboard:

and i hope the case is under £200 because that's the budget left! BTW this is the worlds only M-ITX mobo for x299!

Unless the case costs £21 i'm not sure that will work.

So would a Ryzen 7 1800x System be  faster then the i7-7820x? Also wanted to know. Do the systems have to be water cooled or can I fan cool them? Thank you

No. The i7-7820X has the same number of cores with higher IPC and has a higher stock turbo speed.

No, there are air towers capable of cooling either cpu. Liquid cooling would typically allow for higher overclocks. Although that is dependent on the oc potential of the chip.
