Feedback on my next PC for Resolve/Fusion
Posted: Sat Nov 09, 2019 8:00 am
Hello, I've set up the following PC at my local PC pusher's store:
(Tower ) Corsair Obsidian 500D Tempered Mid Tower
(Power ) Corsair RM1000x 1000W PSU
(CPU ) AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2970WX Processor
(Cooling ) Deepcool Castle 280 RGB CPU Cooler
(GPU ) ASUS GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Turbo
(Motherboard) Gigabyte X399 DESIGNARE EX, Socket-TR4
(RAM ) HyperX Fury DDR4 2666MHz 32GB x2
(OS Drive ) Samsung PM981 SSD 512GB M.2 PCIe SSD
I did not go for the ThreadRipper 2990 due to it adding nearly 1500$ to the bill.
I've checked that the motherboard can be expanded with an additional 64GB of RAM (for a total of 128GB) if that becomes my bottleneck. There is also room for additional 2080ti cards if I go that path.
I already have a Samsung HD, 1TB for cache folders. I do all of my editing on my nas in a 1GB network. So far, I've had no issues with that (I typically edit footage from a Sony A7R mk3 + Mavic Pro drone, both 4k.
This sets me back with around $4,900. Based on the feedback I got from you guys, I've opted to go with AMD Threadripper as opposed to Intel's CPU's this time.
Would this be a thumbs up, or do you see any problems with my choice?
