Hi everyones
as the title suggests, it is a workstation.
Do you have any suggestions? I'm going to change just the ram from 4x16gb to 2x32gb ( just because if I see that 64 gb is not enough, I'm going to add more later)
ps: the second nvme serves only as an archive / loading in the program, for textures and 3d models

Thanks in advance
Davide

Hi Davide,
Not hugely knowledgeable on workstation builds so will leave this mainly to the gurus.
To help them out please could you let us know your budget so we know what figure we are working towards?
Please could you also include your configuration link to make it easier for us to make adjustments?

Off the bat, I would recommend a beefier PSU. With a 3080 I would recommend at least 850W, and for the price difference I would say 1000W is worth it too. I have no regrets about the 1000W PSU in my own system.

Hopefully you will get some more advice soon 🙂

I would definitely consider some changes, would need some more info as suggested.

Are you happy with the UK forum to continue, there is an Italian forum if you would prefer :)

Hi Scott, I know, but the italian's forum, is way less active ( I think is just about number of users).
As mantioned before, my budget is around 3k euros vat excluded. (2.6 £).
I do 3d archviz, and my main need, it's to be fast in cpu based render time for still images, and rtx cuda for little animation and maybe also some virtual tours..
I don't need a quadro gpu, just because, not doing mechanical, or complex animation, I prefeer have more cuda core for a low price.

Great, it's no problem at all... just in case you weren't aware :)

Could you post up the configuration link from your build?

It switches over to the UK option without any issue. Hopefully it should work OK for the return journey. This is slightly over budget but it has every box ticked IMO.

I wouldn't opt for 128GB of RAM on an AM4 system, you would more be inclined to go for a TR4 build (Threadripper) when that was required. I think this setup will be bang on regardless though.

Something to keep in mind, I would definitely change to the H150i RGB Capellix when it comes into stock, it'll make a difference to your overclock throughput over time.

I kept windows pro in, I wasn't sure if you actually required that as the home version has almost every feature.

thanks a lot Scott, I will take in serious consideration your advices.. you think that the case is so important?
and I don't understand a thing.. from your link, says to me €3.048,36 ex. VAT €3.048,36 inc. VAT. Are really VAT included? because if yes, buying from the uk version, I'm going to save a lot of money, because my first configuration, was 3.650 euro VAT included.. in this way, I can raise a little the final price..

When I follow the link provided by @Scott it shows up as just under £2,600 ex VAT and over £3,100 inc VAT

I see, going trought the payment form, after it's explained the reasons why for me, VAT is not charged at the beginning, my bad sorry.

Haha unfortunately the VAT won't be added for you from the UK site. I believe it gets added once you go through with the order or even through the Italian website.

The case is absolutely critical, especially for the upper high end hardware which this is at the extreme end of. You want the least amount of effort for cooling to gain the maximum outcome.
