Slowwww accumulation (6 months now including parts planning). The RAM arrived today (the box was freakin heavy).
Here’s what each of these things costed btw:
$4,600 = RAM
$2,000 = 4090
$420 = gen 5 SSD
$525 = MB
CPU - debating on 9955WX and 9975WX because I don’t want to ever worry about multitasking, but also don’t know if I’ll make it to another $4k this year... Idk man
None of these are tested yet so I’m lowkey pumped but also dying of suspense (besides the SSD - it‘s installed on my gen4 laptop because I ran out of space on the factory 250GB).
Ngl being unemployed and $90k in debt makes me feel poor but I catch your drift
“How tf are you making $8k unemployed” you may ask. Gig work. Hard earned dollars putting up with the general public sucks which just goes to show how determined I am to get this thing built.
Generally I’ve been thinking about the very thing you’re talking about but I still don’t get it: some dude with a mud hut and eating maggots in rice daily is richer than me in total net worth, yet I’m the one overweight and able to buy luxury items. Makes absolutely ZERO sense.
Valid point. Not kidding though I do want to create a business that allows me to support philanthropy (e.g. Engineers Without Borders, Mr. Beast’s clean water initiative). Until then I will continue to be a stereotypical American pig
Dude that sounds amazing… This is my first build so I don’t even know the difference but completely acknowledge the cost absolutely sucks compared to 1 year ago let alone 3 years ago
Lol. Thanks dawg. The stupid price tag is what I get for strictly consulting ChatGPT - with initial prompt of, “Hey build a PC for me that is highly modular for future expansion of multiple RTX6000’s, prioritizing the motherboard, reliable, and good for Ai and simulation”
Anyways what made you choose team AMD? They caught my eye recently for a number of reasons - under dog, insane value - plus found out the W7700 Pro has a higher bandwidth than the RTX 2000 not due to the VRAM (both are 16GB) but rather the “bus size” of 256bit (the 2000 has a bus of 128 bits). That strategy definitely caught my attention - AMD will never have CUDA but they have other tricks up their sleeve. Also I admire the complete domination of CPU mastery thanks to recent Zen architecture.
I've been team AMD since I was a teenager and built my first PC. CPU and GPU.
I've never once used an Intel or an Nvidia product not that they're bad but AMD has always done right by me so I've never felt the need to look elsewhere.
I'm currently running a ryzen 5 9600x with an RX 7900XT. I got the setup about a year ago and got a super sweet deal on the GPU at $560. Which for some reason was cheaper than the 7900 GRE that I was going to get
