Hello,
So I do Music Production, Composition and editing as well as gaming.
My question evolves around the section and ram selection as it's been a while since I built a PC.
I would like to know do I need a Threadripper, for this or will a Ryzen 7 suffice?
If I go with Thread Ripper it will be sat in Asus ROG Zenith Extreme X399, this is because it provides all I'd like plus extras should I wish too.
If I was to go with Ryzen 7 I don't know what motherboard to get as not looked into it.
Memory/RAM - If I was to put a Speed of Ram in that is mentioned under the OC section ( 8 x DIMM, Max. 128GB, DDR4 3600(O.C.)/3200(O.C.)/2800(O.C.)/2666/2400/2133 MHz ECC and non-ECC, Un-buffered) of compatible speeds will it automatically set the motherboard to use it or will I have to do it manually?
NVMe SSD - I have only ever used SATA SSD, what am I looking for in this I know it needs to be M.2 M key not B key, but that's all I know, I have read the Samsung Evo Sticks are a fantastic choice.
GPU - I currently have a 8GB Asus Radeon RX 580 ROG STRIX GAMING OC so I have no need to upgrade
PSU - I have Corsair 850 Watt RM850x Fully Modular ATX - Will I need to upgrade this? I wouldn't have thought so it will supply enough power using an online PSU calculator it came out at 605w so the 850w will be strong enough.
Case - NZXT Source 530 - Their website says the Zenith Extreme Motherboard is comparable. CPU Clarence CPU Cooler 183mm - I was thinking the Noctua NH-U14S TR4-SP3 but would it be worth going for a 3 fan Water Cooler for the TR4 socket? as I have room on the top of the case for it?
Reasons to upgrade from my Current FX8350 CPU, It is bottle necking so badly I can no longer process my music it will not complete the encoding/compiling without failing.
I have chosen the Threadripper as I want to future proof my system by going overboard now rather than later while I can afford it.
I have a Budget of about £1500 - the Threadripper CPU is on sale almost everywhere I have looked, So DO I need the 8 Core, 12 core or the 16 core? (I would love to get 16cores but I know I have no need for that much raw power) I think the 8 core is enough but If I can get a 12core is it worth it?
Anything else anyone can add to this as advice for me?
I upgraded to the FX8350 from an Athlon X2.
I have since upgraded all software to latest versions.
On the odd chance anyone recommends Intel, I have to decline to recommendation as I have no good experiance except a one time Core2Duo, and now my Macbook 2006.
