Giving a workstation one more shot. Specs included. Opinions wanted

[Duke Sweden]

But I listed a 1TB Samsung EVO 850 in the specs (along with a 10TB HD. A GTX 1060 is better than a GTX 1080, which this comes with?

I never thought THESE specs could be knocked, so now I officially give up, unless you just skimmed over all those specs and didn’t notice those. Do you stand by your opinion?

no, aw, i guess you missed my point.
in your specs, there’s only one ssd. and sure, the 1080 is faster than a 1070 but in most renders, they are the same speed but the 1080 is much more expensive. i.e. waste of money. premiere is much more cpu bound anyway. i.e. it needs 6 cores or more 6800k.

2 TB hd’s are fine for backup and storage, not for render output or media/project files etc. They would negate the point of having a fast cpu.

I’m say’in you could find a good vendor and get what I listed above for around $1,000 and never have to return stuff again. you could even buy the parts and build it yourself. It’s pretty easy now, like building legos.

I hear ya. No idea where I can find a “reputable” dealer. I give up. Time for bed. Thanks for your help, Chris.

You don’t require a 6 or 8 core processor to do 4K. I’ve done a lot of 4K stuff with a i7 4 core CPU that has hyperthreading. Of course it would be neat to have more but that looks like a good home project computer to me.

Thank you. It does.

Thanks, Tero. I’m gonna sleep on it, at least until the seller is down to his last one 😉
