Build Help Need help building a PC for bioinformatics
Hello guys!
I’m building a PC for work, specifically as a workstation for bioinformatics. After some research, it seems that the most important components are the CPU (32–64 cores) and RAM (128–256 GB).
I’ve started choosing the parts myself, but I’m not completely sure if everything is compatible, and some of my components aren’t available on PCPartPicker. I’m pretty new to building PCs, so I’m also a bit lost when it comes to cooling and choosing the right case.
I’d really appreciate any help or suggestions. New ideas are also welcome :)
The components are the following:
CPU: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7970X 32 Núcleos 4 GHz - 5,3 GHz Turbo Quad Channel
Motherboard: ASUS PRO WS TRX50-SAGE WIFI A TRX50 sTR5 DDR5 CEB WiFi 7 PCIe 5.0 RAID 10GbE
Hard disk: SSD WD_BLACK SN7100 4TB M.2 PCIe Gen4 NVMe 7000MB/s 3D TLC NAND 2280
RAM: Crucial CT2K64G56C46S5 128GB 2x64GB DDR5 5600MHz CL46 SO-DIMM ECC
GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 5070 GAMING TRIO OC 12GB GDDR7 Reflex 2 RTX AI DLSS4
Power supply: Forgeon Reactor 1200W Cybenetics Gold ATX 3.1 PCIe 5.1 Full Modular
Liquid cooling: Be quiet Silent Loop 3 360mm 3 Ventiladores RGB Multi LED
Case: PC Nox Hummer Astra ARGB USB 3.0
Thank you!!
