There's definitely cheaper options for the various components, but I would personally choose a nicer motherboard if I were doing a 5950X build. One of the new ASUS boards with no chipset fan and 2x Thunderbolt 4 ports, like the ProArt X570 Creator Wifi, is a likely choice.
- AnthonyMouse 5y agoI mean this is the other advantage of the PC. If you want to pay more and get the Thunderbolt ports, you can. If you don't need them for anything, you don't have to pay for them. The specs we're looking at here are pretty general. Most workloads are either going to be CPU bound or GPU bound, not both. Do you need the 5950X? Then you're CPU bound and can save $500 with another GPU. Do you need the RTX 3060? Then you're GPU bound and can save $500 with another CPU. If you need the fast GPU in the Mac, it comes as one piece in a machine that starts at $3500.
