I'm looking to build a system that can handle animation rendering in Blender Cycles and some other programs like Substance Painter (my current computer can't even open it!) and possibly Marvelous Designer. Your PC Builder suggested the following as a GPU focused build:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 3.9GHz 8-Core Processor ($329.99)
CPU Cooler: AMD Wraith Prism Cooler (Included with CPU) (-)
Motherboard: MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX ATX AM4 ($208.75)
GPU: Nvidia RTX 2060 Super 8GB - Asus Turbo ($409.99)
GPU #2: Nvidia RTX 2060 Super 8GB - Asus Turbo ($409.99)
Memory: 32GB (2 x 16GB) Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 C16 ($136.99)
Storage PCIe-SSD: Crucial P1 1TB, M.2 Solid State Drive ($104.99)
Power Supply: Corsair RMx Series RM750x 750W Power Supply ($134.99)
Case: Corsair Carbide Series 200R ATX Mid Tower Case ($129.99)
My questions are: Any issue with swapping out the Ryzen 7 for the Ryzen 9 3900x? Two RTX 2070 cards (regular, not super) would be better than the two RTX 2060 Super cards if the price difference is negligible, right? (I feel like that's a stupid question, but the difference between Super and not super isn't totally clear to me). I notice that the B450 motherboard maxes out at 64GB memory. In terms of future-proofing, would I be making a mistake not getting one that can handle 128GB, or by the time I needed to upgrade past 64GB will the whole system be obsolete anyway so it wouldn't matter? Last question is I'd like more storage space and I'm not very familiar with solid state drives or how M.2 works. If I bought a second of the Crucial P1 1TB drives will it fit in this configuration and would there be any issues with plugging in one of my old regular SATA HDs as well?
Thanks for your help and such an awesome and helpful site in general!
