Rather than make a stab at an initial spec, I thought it better to just ask. My current PC is six year's old and I'm badly out of touch with things.
My budget is around €3,000.
I will be using this monitor: ASUS ProArt Display PA278CV
My needs........
AMD based Desktop PC.
Don't think I need Threadripper. A good Ryzen 7 processor should do.
I like a lot of storage on the PC itself and am currently using two SATA drives. The larger one is 6TB. I'm guessing one SSD drive is now a must and maybe 10TB on a SATA drive.
Am I just being too old fashioned to think that I should max out the RAM?
I do some video encoding which can be quite slow at the moment. I have a 4th generation iCore 7, and 24GB of RAM.
I also work with music on the PC, including very quiet minimalist music. So, noise from the machine is a deal breaker.
I need to be able to use a dual monitor setup, with the ASUS monitor as well as a 77in C1 LG OLED TV connected through HDMI 2.1.
My current graphics card is banjacked and the fan kicks in loudly when I attach the TV.
I torrent a lot, so I have a client running 24/7 and an external HD attached for that.
I need this to be future proofed. I'm happy for it to be excessive today, if I can get five years use out of it.
