Guys,

I've had a bit of a crap 18 months with health issues etc so I'm looking to build a new machine for the first time in over 7 years as a treat to myself and as an investment.

The nature of the system will see it being used for professional wedding photography, audio recording (semi-pro - although that may change) general office work and a spot of gaming. I don't plan on upgrading the system for a while (my last one is rocking a 3930k and 680) so I've gone for something with specs above what I need now on the basis the raw horsepower will last me another few years.

I've already got a case (Lian Li Dynamic XL), keyboard and mouse and have a 40TB NAS Synology for work. I also have reference headphones and was considering ditching the speakers altogether.

This is my first time considering ultra wide and I like the look of the LG and the colour accuracy of the IPS panel, although I understand the brightness/HDR isn't first in class. I'd consider multiple monitors if I had to but prefer the lack of bezels with a single large screen.

I've also never done hard tubing before, so I've completely omitted that although I will need to spec it at a later date.

posted up on a few recent builds for Video/Photography work . 24 thread ripper the better choice for pricing vs 32 core

also, using ekwb own config - water tmep will be amber . Even with 24 cores. Might want a single 120 or another slim 240/360 in the mix. Thats with pushing Thread Ripper to 4.2ghz all cores!

if you know your customers will be printing with companies that actually use adobe RGB scale then a 99% adobe scale monitor is a MUST! if they are using ***** like Photobox, which is standard sRGB then gaming monitor will be fine .

Bloke for mine shot in aRGB, edited with sRGB screen and then we printing in aRGB scale... didn't look good as greens were wrong so had to redo all them myself =/

also cheaper, aorus by £100 and Block being able to use stock backplate

sabrent rocket will save £20/30 odd at same speeds . but PCIe 4.0 will be wasted, specially when full speed controllers are out q2 will most likely q3 now that use max speed possible​

Silly me, sorry ! Blacklabs rads though would be epic !

BenQ do 2x 4k Adobe 99% RGB screens. Ones 27" and the other is 31.5". £950 and £1500 though...

If clients aren't printing using Adobe scale, prob wouldn't worry to much about it though . Least that way can land screens that are 4k, 144hz and high DCI-P3 scale (higher then standard sRGB - more green but not as much as Adobe scale )

VA though , but is high achiever in all aspects
