Just wanna make sure if this build is solid, reliable, not gonna blow up in 5 years, etc.
Budget (including currency): $1,300 CAD ( $947 USD)
Workload:
- A single thread maxed at 100% most of the time (while doing 3d animation in Blender with line-art, but really simple shading)
- while other cores/threads also working, though probably not 100%.
- I might try overclocking if I need a few more fps.
- maybe other 3d animation stuff.
- Bonus points for being able to upgrade to 14900kf and a big gpu.
- Mobo: Gigabyte UD AC Z790. https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/Z790-UD-AC-rev-10#kf
Great price for high-end mobo, as long as I don’t get unlucky with the whining noise issue that some ppl got.
Do I have to worry about the cpu cooler being too big?
^If this mobo sells out, then which of these are good and compatible?
- Msi pro z790-a Wifi
- GIGABYTE Z790 AORUS ELITE AX
- Cooler: be quiet! DARK ROCK PRO 4 CPU Air Cooling
Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 is another option, though I’d have to order it online. Is it a good idea to order online?
Either cooler is rated ~250W.
Will either of these coolers fit around the mobo’s heatsink/shield thingies, around the ram?
-
Cpu: 13600kf.
High single thread performance. At least 6 p-cores, with some e-cores.
12700kf is another, cheaper option.
13600kf max tdp is listed as 181W, and 12700kf max is 190W.
The cooler, case, (and extra fans?) can cool either cpu under 100% usage, no problem, right? -
PSU: Corsair RM850e or RM850x?
Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 750W 80+ or 850W are other options.
Other psu brands on sale: Thermaltake, Gigabyte, Evga.
I’d like the psu to last… Forever! Or as long as possible for ~$150 cad.
Edit: do I have to worry about +12v rails amps? Or single or multi rail?
- Ram: 2x16GB 6000MHz DDR5, 30CL (cuz someone recommended 30CL)
Either TeamGroup Delta or Vulcan, or Trident Z5 Neo RGB.
Or would the Delta or Trident ram get in the way of the cooler?
I’ll have to use my old gpu for now.
