Okidoki, I'll take those over, throw out the Wifi card since the mobo seems to have an Intel 9260 and maybe reconsider leaving out the M2 drive and just have 2x 500GB 860 EVOs + Barracuda since I won't be needing the extra read speed until UE5 comes out, which is not until Q2 2021. I think...

Yeah, I estimated the power difference to come out at around £10 (1st year) + £60 for the upgrade which I was planning to put towards an RTX 30X0 later. I don't think I would notice the extra performance because I won't be jumping on it the second it finishes its work. I'll have a think about...

Thanks Scott. The TDP doesn't directly specify the power consumption but you can expect a similar difference to show up when measuring the power consumption, like this: (from https://www.tomshardware.com/uk/reviews/amd-ryzen-9-3900-review-eco-mode) They measure a 8.75% performance difference...

Yep, can do: Unique URL to re-configure: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/saved-configurations/amd-am4-gen3-pc/9nZVqp9AcJ/ Also take into account power consumption: the 3900 has a TDP of 65W vs the 3900X at 105W, that's a pretty big gap for a machine that might be running for a long time.

I'll amend the spec here since updating the post above is not working. The budget is around £1.5k, but I'm ok stretching it a little in favour of a longer lifespan like Nursemorph suggested: Case PCS SPECTRUM RGB MID TOWER CASE PCS SR-819 RGB FULL TOWER CASE [to fit the Noctua cooler, bigger...

Hi, I'd like to setup a little home server / remote desktop. My main goal is to have a chunky CPU + Memory + HDD for 3D asset baking (Unreal Engine 4, 3ds Max, ZBrush, Photoshop) and distributed code builds (Visual Studio). Some of the things I'd like to consider for this configuration are: +...
