Alright, here's a workstation gamer Ryzen system.

Sorry it took me so long, I'm not up to speed on Ryzen boards so I had to look up professional reviews and performance comparisons before I was willing to put one in the list for AgiLity. I also wanted to make sure that your CPU cooler would come with AM4 mounting, which this one does.

I have a few questions...

1) Why a KRAIT board for overclocking? Power delivery on that board is not exactly stunning.

2) Do you really need LED RAM? Other brands offer RAM with roughly the same performance for much less.

3) Step down to Samsung SSD 850 EVO 1TB pls. PRO offers no real benefit bc the EVO series already maxes out the SATA III connection. PRO is wasting money in my opinion.

4) Case is rather expensive. I'd rather you get something more affordable. The H440 is also not necessarily friendly to first time builders bc of strange cable management areas and tight spaces near the hard drives.

5) Power supply is great, but a little on the expensive side.

If OP would step down from such premium components to normal ones that offer relatively the same performance, he can fit a GTX 1080 in his budget.

Yeah, but I figured maybe he had 32GB of RAM for a reason. He said in the original post that this machine will also be used for game production and rendering so the extra RAM would come in handy.

On the other hand, the extra GPU power will also come in handy when rendering in applications that use GPU acceleration or GPU rendering.

I would go Ryzen then for a workstation, or wait for the new intel stuff. And maybe do some kind of RAID setup with a few smaller drives rather than one massive drive, it could perfom better and be more reliable depending on the type of raid you choose and how many drives you get.

A lot of people are recommending Ryzen for workstations, but are there really any good reputable video editing programs that are optimized for AMD? I know everything Adobe is optimized for Intel.

For game production, a CPU is a CPU. More cores is almost always beneficial as long as the individual cores aren't drastically weaker, right?

That will run beautifully, but I still think that you're going overboard with your choice in expensive RAM, case and power supply. You could save on those and fit a 1080 ti into your budget as Dunlop0078 said.

I also looked up what's up with Ryzen and video editing software. It seems to work rather well in most applications, including Adobe software.
