    Thanks for the reply. I think I messed up a bit, I wanted to start a seperate thread with my revised build but I must have posted it to my original thread. Not to worry. I like the storage rejig. Trying to decide which brand/speed/size storage has deemed more difficult than I had anticipated...

    Mainly using PC for work tasks such as 3D rendering (3ds Max/Unreal Engine/AutoCad/Photoshop) Little bit of gaming on the side, not a major concern tbh. Always used Intel CPUs so the jump to AMD is a bit scary and want to make sure im atleast close with the spec. My work will provide Windows OS...

    Thanks for the advice. The cooler upgrade to the 150 may be an issue as it's a 3fan and not too sure if my case will accommodate that. I would be happy to reduce my OS drive to 500gb. All other storage, I have covered from existing PCs I own. Just out of curiosity, what's the reasoning for the...

    Thank you for your reply. I noted that you have suggested the RAM be 3200Mhz. I think this is a great suggestion. Instead of using a i7, what do you think of sticking with the i9 and using my existing case which I think it superior in airflow than my current posted spec?

    Hi all, I have always used Inter in the past but I am reading a lot of positive feedback on this forum regarding AMD processors for realtime/offline rendering. This build will be used mainly for work but I would like to use it for gaming on the side from time to time. I would like to hear...
