Hey all,
It's been a while..
So I'm looking at building a new system, and I'm a bit out of the loop. So just looking for some guidance and hints from the community.
For context, I currently use the following two systems:
Desktop:
i7-4790k
32GB DDR3
GTX 980 Ti
I use this for a heap of stuff, only about 20% gaming. The main things which are running slow/annoying are:
- Blender work
- Unity
- Any 3D modelling stuff
- Compiling code/apps
- Occasional streaming
Laptop:
i7-10875H
32GB DDR4
GTX 3080
I use this for VR, because my desktop just isn't good enough for it. And I'm in VR quite a bit!
This laptop still struggles to multitask while I'm also in VR. And I can't run my headset at max, probably about 70%
The new system:
What I want to be able to do is have 1 system that can do all of the above, really well. Ideally, if I could run my VR headset at max settings, and also stream at the same time that would be amazing.
I was holding off because of the new hardware releases, and initially I was going to jump for the i9-13900k. But after reading/watching some reviews, it might just be a little overkill for me, I'm not sure.
I'm currently looking at the following:
My basket at OcUK:
Also waiting for the 4090 + ATX 3.0 PSU's to become available, hence not added to basket.
I'm just not sure about the motherboard + RAM really!
Any help or tips would be welcomed, am I on the right path going with the above?
Budget is 4k
