Hi all,
I'm going to attempt to build a PC from scratch for the first time, and I'd like some advice on the build I'm considering. Really, I want it to be rubber-stamped by people who know what they're doing.
My main focus is DAW usage (Cubase) so I've selected the Ryzen 5900x as the CPU, given its excellent single thread performance and greater potential for all-core overclocking than the 5950x.
Having spent the day researching, I've alighted on the following additional components:
To this I'm planning to add the FSP 1000W PSU from my current build and my puny RTX 1050Ti graphics card (I want to upgrade that but this feels like a really bad time to be upgrading graphics cards).
I'm planning to overclock the CPU and RAM as much as I can. Although I've used overclocked machines before, these have usually been prebuilt CPU/motherboard bundles so this will be a first. But hopefully this build will make things easier, given the VRM design of the MSI Tomahawk and the cooling power of the Dark Rock Pro 4.
Let me know if I'm doing anything or if you've got any additional suggestions for hardware to consider.
