Howdy,
It's been about two years since I first put this machine together and now that I've started looking at school again, I'm thinking about upgrading once again. I don't think I'm in the market for a GPU upgrade since I'm not really using GPU render engines. Instead, I'm thinking that I want to move up the ladder to another chip. So here's the setup I have at the moment:
CPU: Ryzen 7 3700x
Cooler: Noctua ND15u
MB: Asus Strix -F Gaming 470X
RAM: 32 GB Corsair Vengeance clocked at 3200 MHz (2x16 GB CL16)
Storage: Intel 660p 500GB M.2. Boot drive / 2x 2TB Seagate Compute Drive 256MB Cache for project storage and a scratch disk
GPU: MSI Ventus 2070 8 GB
PSU: BeQuiet StraightPower11 650W
I'm thinking I want to get a 5900x. I don't feel comfortable with getting a 5950x since it's like 800 plus as opposed to 550 for just 12 cores. I'm not a streamer and I'm still learning my way around using different render suites. I'm using Autodesk Maya, Unreal Engine 4, Substance Painter. I don't know if I'm using Arnold to render out my work, but I'm really interested in learning how to use it. I don't know. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
