Good Morning/Afternoon,

I am hoping someone here can offer some advice on the following.

I work at a large format print company and we are needing to upgrade our ProServer RIPs.

The manufacturer specification requirements are contained here (the far right specification);
Fiery proServer Premium

So, for the above RIP Station PC and a very funky desk, monitor, keyboard etc they want to charge me a discounted price of £7500.00 +VAT.



I am competent at building PCs so want to spec up a 'better system' which I believe I can do for at least half that cost.

I am struggling however on what to actually opt for.

Something along these lines as a start point?

CPU - Ryzen9 7900X3D
Cooler - Kraken Z73 (360mm)
MB: ASUS Rog Strix B650E-F
RAM: 4x32gig Corsair Vengence DDR5-6600
Storage: 4TB WD NVME + Samsung Evo 4TB SSDs (x2)
GPU: MSI 3080ti (existing)
Case: 4000D Airflow
PSU: ASUS GOLD 1000w

No need for peripherals

Appreciate any support/ideas on this please.

Many thanks
Tom

EDIT: 2 full systems are required

Do they actually supply their software for use on hardware they haven't provided? It might be that they only support if it's running on "known" hardware that they provide where it's been tested and guaranteed to work reliably. If the option of providing your own hardware is fine then I'd be sticking with their recommended, e.g. not switching to Ryzen if they recommend and install Intel core i7's etc

Hi and thank you for replying.

Yes. Supplying my own hardware is approved and not an issue at all.
We have a fairly new 'supplied' RIP Server which is pretty 'meh' in speed etc so I suspect the ProServer they supply will be the same (using those specs).

This is why I was thinking of putting somethiing together that will be quicker. Over spec.

My initial build idea can be totally altered to include INTEL CPU.
