Is my pc overkill?

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

Thoughts on compressed PC build?

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

Can I get advice on if my parts for my first PC are a good mix for racing games?

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

Thoughts on compressed PC build?

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

Feedback/Recommendations/Suggestions for my First PC Build

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

PC Build recommendations for a high end astrophotography rig

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

How can I make this build better

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'

i9 14900K gets the edge over 9850X3D, far ahead of 7800X3D.

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

Scientific computing/programming home office build

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

i'd like some build feedback & help with a cpu cooler!

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
