Hi everyone!
>>> https://pcpartpicker.com/user/53muratdemircan/saved/#view=CvLDjX <<<

This build is for mostly 3d modeling and rendering.
I'll use 3dsMax+Corona Renderer, Lumion, and hopefully Unreal Engine.

I got some recommendations about changing AMD with Intel-I9-12900KF. This one has better single-thread performance but not sure if this makes it better than 5950x.
And motherboard, someone recommended me Asus Strix B550-XE Gaming Wifi (I first chose an X570 from MSI), and then someone else recommended Asus Strix B550-F Gaming Wifi.

I thought I can use Samsung SSD for windows and other software
Seagate for the project files I'll be working on
HDDs are mostly for storing 3d models/materials/finished projects...

Lumion is a real hardware monster.
In the link below; the High-end requirements section says 64GB and more. So, I want that 128GB of ram and AMD says on their official page, 5950x supports 3200 MHZ.

I'm also in between these 3 beauties.
The Fractal Torrent, the HZXT 510 Flow, and the Be Quiet Silent Base 802. I'm close to the first two, actually, especially to their appearances :)

In short, I'm a bit confused :)

Thanks!
 
for me, I get the highest spec components my budget allows, then go for the next one up to future proof me a bit. in other words, what I can afford then find a bit more.

and remember, every dollar spent on flashy cases and RGB lighting and "the machine that goes ping" are dollars you are spending on hardware that does not improve your performance.
if Lumion runs better inside a glossy, glass paneled cases with disco light RAM, than yeah, go for it!
personally I'd rather get a bigger SSD, or more memory.
but I get that we all want our rigs to stand out from the pack! :)

I don't think Lumion can realize the RGB or fancy case but I care about both performance and the look. Not a fan of disco lights, I thought 128GB of RAM would be more than enough for me. It's 3200 MHZ which AMD recommends and it's also CL16 which is good as I know.

I'll consider upgrading SSD, maybe Seagate FireCuda 530 2TB instead of 520?

What about other parts of the build?

Thanks for your reply!
 
all your parts are fine in my books.
golden rule - the more you spend, the more you get.
but of course, if you'll ever run anything that requires that level of hardware, only you can decide.

You're right. I also consider future updates of the software. They will require more specs. I want a pc that I don't want to deal with or upgrade at least for a while. (I mean hopefully 2-3 years at least)
Thanks!
