Hi all,
I'm planning to buy my first own build and this is what I was thinking about.
I have a few questions but first want to say that I will use this PC for my professional and personal work as a visual effects artist. For my work, I use programs like Maya, Houdini, Zbrush and I will need it to make renders a lot as well.
My first doubt was about the motherboard. I think I made an okay decision but any advice on it would be great.
Stupid question perhaps, is there a way to get more HDMI ports? I have two screens which I want to connect to my computer.
My second question was about the wifi, Some motherboards have Wifi but I noticed that none of the pcspecialist has one right?
Because I would like to have wifi and the option to use the cable.
But by selecting the 'WIRELESS INTEL® Wi-Fi 6 AX200 2,400Mbps/5GHz, 300Mbps/2.4GHz PCI-E CARD + BT 5.0' at the wireless/wired network section I lose the option to the cable right? There will be no Ethernet port then.
Any advice on how I can have both an ethernet port as build-in Wifi?
Third question:
Cooling is super important but I hear not very good stories about the liquid coolers, so I actually want to avoid those.
My choice came out on the 'Noctua NH-U 14S ultra-quiet CPU cooler' but will that be enough to cool everything when the machine has to work on heavy 3D stuff?
And suggestions are welcome !!
Any other advice is welcome!
