But I didn't mention any of those. The only reason for an expensive motherboard is to use multiple video cards. >$200 is not a good price for a PSU. 1000watt is absolutely unnecessary unless you need to power 3-4 GPUs. My point is that you can easily build a very similar system for half the price. This isn't the rattly '90s. $5000 is a lot for one PC. If you want to shell out $3700 on PC components, you can build a much more powerful system, especially when you start putting in more GPUs.
- FireBeyond 9y ago> $200 is not a good price for a PSU. 1000watt is absolutely unnecessary unless you need to power 3-4 GPUs. For sure. I had this argument a few weeks before the iMac Pro came out with someone who insisted that it'd come with an 850W, more likely 1KW+ PSU... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15922978 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15922978 iFixit's tear down? 500W PSU.
- fgonzag 9y agoThat's a horrible system for $3700 dlls. You can easily shave $1k off if you're smart about shopping for the parts. Also, assuming you're not going for OSX (apples and oranges I know), a thread ripper would be a much better choice for a CPU.
