A noob doing Water Cooling
24 minutes ago, kyrios01 said:is she getting a new PC?
A- yes
what kind of work is she doing?
A- high quality of architecture rendering
what kind of budget is she working with?
A- about 2k$
what software is involved?
A- 3ds max, lumion and sketchup
she should probably consider lloking at the 1920x as it currently on sale and as a lot of the work she does involves rendering the threadripper will help shorten the render times tremendously.
something along the lines of this:

this will suit her rendering needs for a long time. and if she needs an upgrade it is just to slot in a new CPU or more Ram without needing to change core components
