I am currently a student studying game art in college. I plan to pursue this field further by going to university. However, my current PC is getting old as I have been using it for around 4 years. It is an AM4 system, but with the release of AM5, I thought it would be a good time to upgrade. The mai

I made a couple tweaks to your list. For your workload more cores on the CPU would be very beneficial, upgraded from the 7600x 6 core to the 7900x 12 core. +$100 Cooler, board, storage, PSU are all fine kept all those. Swapped the RGB ram to non-rgb, this is a closed case, no need to spend nearly $1

Made some changes to get you more fps and rgb, while saving money. CPU. The 9850X3D is the gaming goat. The 7900X is a good cpu, but is a generation behind, doesn't have X3D cache, and the cores are split along two CCDs. Cooler. The D15 is very expensive. A nice 360 AIO will do fine, for less, and a

u/hawk7117's build is a good one. I made some changes to your original build which I think make a bit more sense given your use-case, which differs from their build in a couple ways (even if it is also more expensive overall): Spent a little more for a 9900X in-order to maintain the core count and p

Your work requires lots of cores and ram. I suggest just getting the best CPU you can get , and just the bare minimum GPU for your gaming. I saw your budget is 80-90k, we'll just max that out Something like this, though I suggest getting 2TB Drives as your files may be large Component Link Part Pric

Ok. Well looking at the hardware requirements/recommendation pages, it looks like you would be very well-served snagging as many CPU cores as you feasibly can, and as much RAM as you can. The graphics card, fortunately, does not appear to be much of a factor. Per their documentation: As of updating

The RAM listing is a false listing - you're not getting 16GB of DDR5 RAM for $80 in today's market (it's listed as out of stock on the Walmart site - it's going to be out of stock in perpetuity). Unless you're going to be editing videos professionally, you don't need a 7900X. For hobby editing, you'

I could be wrong about why AMD X3D CPUs gained around 5% on Windows 11 compared to Windows 10 after the 24H2 update, but there does appear to be AMD-specific software optimization in Windows 11 that benefits Ryzen X3Ds, in ways that don't seem to apply to non 3Ds. example windows 10 vs 11 non 3ds al

The CPU doesn't need to be AMD, Arrow Lake CPU is a lot cheaper should be fine for Linux: https://www.phoronix.com/review/intel-core-ultra-9-285k-linux Power efficiency is also good for what it is. And it should outperform 9700X in most benchmarks, which is like $80-$90 more expensive. Except if you

This only saves you 70 pounds, but I'm including an upgrade to a 5080 - you can roll that back and save ~300+. Oh, we also went up to 48GB RAM for ~25 pounds, because we're no longer paying the 6000/30 tax. The 270K+ is a little worse than the 9950X, but it's very close I run AM5, but the only way I
