Thanks for the input everyone. I think I am almost there now. Changes I have made to previous spec are 1. Lowered RAM to 32gb and SSD to single 1TB for cost reasons - as they can fairly easily be added later 2. Upgraded CPU from a 9700X 8 core to a 7950X 16 Core 3. Changed motherboard from...

Thanks - I'm now proposing an Asus Prime X870-P which to me looks to have more space than the Tuf X670E when I look at photos - but I am pretty new to this stuff - and can't easily find where to find diagrams like the two you attached are for the X870-P

Thanks - have changed the storage over to P44 and P41 - I don't think it affected the price much as I lowered the size of one of the drives, plus also removed Norton, also changed the case from white to black. I've left the graphics card as just 4070 Super for now (as wanting a PC based on...

Ok - thanks for the input - have uprated the Case, RAM and cooling for another £200 - does this look more like it will work ok? Case CORSAIR 5000D AIRFLOW TEMPERED GLASS GAMING CASE - WHITE Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 7 9700X Eight Core CPU (3.8GHz-5.5GHz/40MB CACHE/AM5) Motherboard ASUS® TUF...

Thanks for the comments so far - didn't realise how complicated PC purchase had got - lack of choice makes Mac buying so much easier! My current thoughts is that I would like to build the lowest cost sensible system based on 4070 Super's (which seem to have a good cost/performance ratio based...

Thanks for the suggestion - my main reason for the PC is Blender render speed and I am pretty keen to get at least a 4070 - as I am expecting it to render at least 20x faster than the Mac M1. I suppose if the price is starting to push £2k for a quiet Fast PC maybe I should go the whole hog a...

I am looking to upgrade Blender Rendering speed in particular, but also potentially migrate my Fusion 360 modelling from a Mac M1 (which works quite well) onto a Desktop PC if it is a lot faster - as I believe Blender Cycles Rendering needs a powerful graphics card. I would also like to try...
