Looking to build a new PC for the following
Gaming (60%) 1440p 144hz & 4K
Visual Studio Coding (loves clock & cores) (30%)
lightroom (10%)
Multitasking (100%)

Also will want to complile code & game at the same time.


My first draft build here: thoughts/advice wanted (GPU already have 1080TI) may go 2080Ti depending on benchmarks
My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £2,567.98 (includes shipping: £14.10)​

oc to 4ghz all cores (16 cores 32 threads) ;)
also 32gb vs 16gb :D

case is the same, cheaper but with 9 fan option and a lot nicer to work with!

AIO is better pump and performance

cash left over to buy 6 more fans!

thanks,

Somthing to think about but i wont buy Gigabyte again. so many bugs in my Gigabyte ryzen board...

Downside i think would be the slower perf in games (unma/numa) is that yours?

found my ryzen boards to be fine along with asus ones . If not, MSI MEG is worth a very good look, not to much more expensive as well

would have linked 2nd Gen Thread Ripper but not out for pre-order yet :( 24 core one might of been within budget and 16 core would have been faster!

To combat the potential for performance regression as a result of its "go-wide" approach, AMD devised an interesting solution: it introduced a memory access switch that you can toggle via motherboard BIOS or the Ryzen Master software. The Local and Distributed settings flip between either NUMA (Non-Uniform Memory Access) or UMA (Uniform Memory Access), same as they did for AMD's first-gen Threadripper CPUs.

newer gen handles it better

A set of toggles generally offers the best performance in games and applications by combining these settings optimally. Game Mode disables one die with the Legacy Compatibility mode, and then switches the 2950X into Local memory mode, effectively creating an 8C/16T CPU. Creator mode uses the Distributed memory setting and disables Legacy Compatibility, providing access to Threadripper 2950X's full armament of 16 cores and 32 threads for demanding workloads.

not sure sure how much your in a rush to purchase etc

********

yep- my own rig :)

dynamic case, also used to original PC-O11 and prefer this one for basic water cooling . old one is great for 2x 360x60mm thick rads!

sounds good and all but dont know if i want to swapping between modes all the time (as they require a reboot)
 
might just be worth running all cores as max overclock :D

just another thought for AMD.

dont think i9 9900k will effect prices of 10core plus from Intel but would offer a lot of speed! but again, waiting game
