So with the new NVIDIA GTX 3090 coming by the end of September, I have decided to revamp my complete workstation. I have created the following setup (description is in Dutch - but you will recognize the different parts) ;)

What are your thoughts?

Please note that budget is not a problem by building this PC.
 
If you haven't got one already I would suggest a second or external drive
for the storage of files and backups of your system.
 
Man I got a 2070 super only like 4-5 months ago, then they had to release the goddamn 30 series :( .

Oh well :D

Anyways lol, that should be a beast. I'd have a look into a ryzen build if I were you, you may find a performance increase.
 
This, and they are known for the budget prices, but if money really isnt a problem dont bother waiting honestly
They aren't just budget friendly but they defeated intel in every aspect be it single thread or multi thread workload.On top of it you get very powerful apu.I know it won't matter bcz op is getting rtx 3090.but it isn't available in market yet.So waiting for amd is legit choice.


All Rtx 2xxx ower :D :D :D :anyway: :anyway: :D:D:D:p
 
Since you bought the most expensive parts of everything, what advice do you need? You are just bragging :D

Nah, I was more looking for advice regarding the choice between Intel / AMD. I have much experience with Intel setups, but AMD is completely new to me.
Do you have experience with AMD?
 
I would recommend this technician's video as reference:

Nope, I'm an intel guy. But generally, if you want to work (video editing, rendering), you need amd, for gaming intel.

Ah, I see. Yup, I prefer Intel too. But I am still looking for other's their opinions. :)

AMD is good as a workstation virtualization and stuff
Intel is for gaming and also desktop perfermance is better than amd since the i9 10900kcan get up to 5.3ghz.
i have intel i9 9900k and it is working prefect for gaming and virtualization 16 is more than enough imagin having 20 core with up to 5.3ghz that just insane...
and for the graphical card NVIDIA is the best no matter what AMD came up with.
 
Holy shit. That's a beast. Do you have an estimate on how much it costs?

Yup, I know. ;) - but that's not important to this thread. I don't want to brag here as that's not my cup of tea.
 
This setup is awesome.
RTX 3090 with i9-109000 is an awesome combo.
boost processor to 5.1
I recommend you use Gskill Ram insted of vengence. Both are good but I like GSkill. Also overclock ram to extra 400Ghz.

Thanks for your advice. Regarding your suggestion: I do have a Corsair setup, but indeed, they have a maximum of 3200.
Better to go with Gskill? Do you have any trustful benchmarks available? :)

Come on, this is the biggest bragging thread of this month. :D

But I don't mind. What does all of this cost? Gotta be up at 5k euro?

I prefer Intel's branding :D
But apart from that, they actually got clapped by AMD the past year in price/performance ratio across the board (for gaming, rendering, servers,..). When it comes to high end CPUs however, the Intel 10900K gives you those 1-5% extra frames for gaming, while the AMD flagship will be a little bit better if you run lots of applications that can make use of all its cores.
I honestly doubt this choice will make a huge difference, no matter what you do with your PC. They're both great processors.
