Zetha Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Hi, I need to get a new PC, with a price range of 1500 - 2000€ I was thinking something like this: - AMD ryzen 7 1700 or 1700x. 320€ vs 400€ - Nvidia 1070 = 450€ - RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR4. 2 x 16 Gb = 328€ - SSD 500Gb (Samsung 850 EVO) = 155€ - HDD 3Tb = 90€ - Motherboard, Asus Prime X370-Pro = 155€ - Corsair cooling Hydro series /or/ Enermax Liqmax 240= 85€ - 750W = 100€ - A box My biggest doubt is about the proccesor, Ryzen 1700 or 1700x. Also, I picked a random motherboard, no idea about them. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yon Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Unless your building for GPU rendering I would drop that card and put the money into your mobo doubt you will get a 8 slot mobo for that cost...and if your simulating you gonna want the potential to upgrade you could also get a much smaller SSD just for your OS and put that towards mobo as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tar Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 1700 is running very well, 64GB ram on a B350M-A mobo, the machine has frozen up a few times though and not sure if it's hardware or Ubuntu yet. Need the latest bios to use more than 32GB ram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetha Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) Thanks, do you need extra cooling with the 1700? Or the one that comes by default is good enough? Edited August 25, 2017 by Zetha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tar Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 so far its fine but I've only run a few heavy sims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Update is that the stock cooler is rubbish for Houdini - for whatever reason the chip is shutting off all the time when simulating as opposed to the Xeons in the MacPro which never shut down. Unfortunately its almost impossible to get Ryzen temps in linux to be absolutely sure that the processor is overheating.
