Well, my day has just brightened (5950X & 3070 combo rig)

Woo hoo, finally pulled the pin today (only took 4 months to decide!) Anyway 5950X / 3070 combo (so expecting MUCH pain and anguish ahead) - though at last I can stop pouring over the specs and reviews and move onto something else to drool over :)

Thanks for the feedback. I was being swayed on availability of components. Hence the 3070 instead of a 3080. I had also assumed the 5900x / 3950x were holding back build times as well.

I'll be using Adobe Lightroom, photoshop, (photo editing / processing) Premiere (video rendering) and 3D modelling via Autodesk 3ds Max. Any thoughts or advice on this spec? Case CORSAIR CARBIDE SERIES™ 275Q QUIET CASE Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™ i9 12 Core Processor i9-10920X (3.5GHz) 19.25MB...

Should I put in my order for the 4080 / 3rd Gen EPYC rig now then ;)

Last time I ordered from PCS was in September 2016 and in normal times I'd have placed a replacement order November last year, but I didn't. After viewing the industry mess and these forums I've decided to just wait. In fairness the 2016 machines spec has also held up really well (i7, 32Gb RAM...

So, at 80 plus days, do you get a free vaccination appointment :)

Thank you for this. I will have a good look at this spec

I've 2 options. One Intel based and one AMD. Here's the AMD spec machine: Case CORSAIR CARBIDE SERIES™ 200R COMPACT GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 9 3950X 16 Core CPU (3.5GHz-4.7GHz/73MB CACHE/AM4) Motherboard ASUS® TUF X570-PLUS GAMING (USB 3.2 Gen 2, PCIe 4.0, CrossFireX) - ARGB Ready...

No, I won't be needing thunderbolt

I'd like to keep it about £3K and the audio interface is a Protools digi002 (via firewire) - this is very long in the tooth and should be upgraded in due course. Thanks

I'm mainly into photo & video editing (Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop & Premiere), 3D modelling / rendering (Autodesk 3D studiomax), music production (Presonus Studio One via external audio interface). Any constructive thoughts or improvements / component change recommendations, most welcome (I'm...

Hi, I've been recently getting a lot of BSOD (bluescreens). It is inconsistent in nature but appears when the system is under very high CPU load (95 - 100%) It only happens when I'm exporting high res images from Adobe Lightroom, rendering images or animations from Autodesk 3D studiomax and...
