Game Dev Build

David2030

I am putting together a PC for game development. Before this I have used a Dell m4700 with 8 gigs of ram, Nvidia graphics with 4 gigs of vram, an intel quad core. I was having trouble with unity crashing when I tried to creat very larg worlds with only land and textures. So ya I might not be using the best design practices right now but I know I need to up grade. I looking at trying to stay within $7000 - $8000 for this build. Can anyone take a look at this list and tell me if there might be a better  solution than this or if anyone notices any incompatibilities?

Seems fine to me well from the quick look i took. But threadripper 2 is supposed to come out in august from what i know if you can wait i would suggest doing so as you will be able to buy at least 20+ core cpu for just a little bit more.

Why so many fans ?

 

Does your software support SLI ?

 The reason for so many fans is because of the PC chassis. This is the first time I am attempting to build a desk top and I just simply thought that I needed to fill all of the available fan locations. And I was going to potentially replace the fans on the radiator if they weren’t good.  I don’t plan on making the purchase until the end of October so there’s plenty of time to wait for newer tech to come out.  As far as if my software that I’m using support SLI I am not 100% sure  but from watching many videos I know that blender will scale up I think. This is where I needed some help and still doing some research because I don’t know if unity uses SLI or if it scales with the graphics cards. I’m still in the dark with this one.
