Been in the market for an upgrade leap for a while and I've basically been holding out for the Nvidia 3000 series and AMD 5000 series. Have some 3080s on order but with no queue end in sight and it being a flip-up between those and the stock-ready 3090s that's forced our hand. Now just need the 5950Xs to come into stock. But otherwise, any comments or upgrades on the below without going too much more over budget?
1x Zotac GeForce RTX 3090 24GB GDDR6X TRINITY Ampere
1x AMD Ryzen 9 5950X
1x Asus ROG Strix X570-F Gaming
2x Samsung 970 EVO PLUS 500GB M.2 NVMe (OS and scratch)
2x Corsair Vengeance LPX 64GB (2x32GB) DDR4 PC4-28800C18 3600MHz (128GB total)
1x Corsair A500 High Performance 120mm Twin Fan CPU Cooler
Totalling about £3,500 give or take what's in stock on the 3090/5950X front.
Will be adding existing/sufficient PSUs, case fans and SATA HDDs.
Spec is video production studio, editing up to 8K RAW, and I'll be getting 3 lots of the above.
Current cases are ok - the now discontinued Aerocool DS200, but it is a mid tower and the airflow isn't the best since it's got a solid front (albeit with side grills), so I'm potentially looking at changing that too. It's for a creative studio environment so not too interested in garish LEDs all over the place - needs to be more practical - but the Corsair Obsidian 750D Airflow seems to fit the bill (https://www.overclockers.co.uk/cors...tower-case-black-cc-9011078-ww-ca-207-cs.html), but open to options.
Any improvements, anything I'm missing, or anything not compatible (I usually mess up somewhere!)?
