I'm copying a build that was posted by user "spydertracks" on this thread:
www.pcspecialist.co.uk
It's for a poker software that needs this amount of RAM (I am certain).
Case
ASUS RS500A-E9-RS4-U SP 1U RACK CHASSIS Fits U2 drives for much faster R/W performance which will be handy
Processor (CPU)
AMD EPYC™ 7451 24 Core CPU (2.3GHz, 3.2GHz Turbo, 64MB CACHE)
Motherboard
ASUS® Z11PA-U16 (DDR4 RDIMM, iKVM)
Memory (RAM)
256GB Kingston DDR4 2666MHz ECC Registered (8 x 32GB)
Graphics Card
PNY QUADRO P1000 - 4GB GDDR5, 640 CUDA Cores - 4 x mDP Haven't changed, but not sure you need this much power
1st Storage Drive
3.2TB Intel DC P4610 2.5" SSD, U.2 (upto 3200MB/sR | 2100MB/sW) Changed drive to U2, seriously fast
NVMe Upgrade Kit
Integrated NVMe Upgrade Kit, Quad OcuLink This adapter is required for the U2 drives
Power Supply
ASUS REDUNDANT INTEGRATED 770W 80+ PLATINUM POWER SUPPLY Case requires a larger PSU
Power Cable
1 x 1 Metre UK Power Cable (Kettle Lead)
Processor Cooling
Asus Passive 1U Heatsink
Thermal Paste
ARCTIC MX-4 EXTREME THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY COMPOUND
Remote Management Chip
INTEGRATED ASUS ASMB9-IKVM
Rails
Integrated Asus Friction Rail Kit
Operating System
Windows 10 Professional for Workstation 64 Bit - inc. Licence (>4 Core)
Operating System Language
United Kingdom - English Language
Warranty
3 Year Gold Warranty (2 Year Collect & Return, 2 Year Parts, 3 Year Labour)
Delivery
STANDARD INSURED DELIVERY TO UK MAINLAND (MON-FRI)
Build Time
Standard Build - Approximately 8 to 10 working days
Price: £4,913.00 including VAT and Delivery
However it was almost 2 years ago so I was wondering if I should make any further edits given the time that's passed.
I'd also like to add extra RAM - either to 512gb or 1024gb total. Do I just increase the size of each memory module? So 8 x 64/128, or is there a better way?
I'm hoping to be as cost effective as possible, with a minimum spec of 16 cores (the software utilizes core speed more than core quantity) and 512gb/1024gb RAM. I don't really need anything else except electrical efficiency and safety (not overheating etc).
please critique my potential build
Hey i'm building a new pc for running simulations, basically more cores and ram = faster sims. Please let me know if this build is feasible/good, I don't know a lot about compatibility. Corsair Carbide 678C Low Noise Black Mid-Tower ATX Gaming Case w/ Tempered Glass Side Panels INTEL® Xeon®...
