What kind of computer should I buy?


Recommended Posts

But the Threadripper isn't as fast in games. And which 2TB SSD?

 

 

P.S. I use the same config myself, with only user-specific differences (screen size, 4x16 ram, storage, audio, etc) that call for close discussion once/if the OP confirms they're serious about buying an advanced PC.

Isnt as fast in games? In what games? I parallelizes fine, the AMD-CPU will do awesome work. If not, and it counts only per-thread-performance, only the newest Intel-CPU will have an advantage. In fact, you will never feel the difference.

In all games. And I'm not some intel-fan, I've specced my company to buy mostly AMD CPU - better value for money. But every time you're not dealing with a fully parallellized task, that 4.6 GHz (or 5 OC'd) comes in handy.

 

You're gonna render in HD+ or do major FEA, cool, get a Threadripper. Better still, get a dual-socket 7301 (higher chips perma-throttle, though are faster anyway) and a good cooling solution. And you need that dual-socket RAM for demanding renderers and solvers, desktop RAM is nothing for them; 256 is good, 512 is better.
