Icue sucks, no aio is really worth 200 dollars. The 7950x3d is still not as good as the 7800x3d for gaming, and the ram is overpriced. 330 dollars for a b650 board is insane, strix or not. I sure hope you are transferring tons of files all the time because otherwise you wasted a ton of money on those ssds. For the amount of money it cost to get 2 of those you could have gotten a 4tb drive plus another 2tb drive. Power supply is absurdly overkill, 1000w at most would be adequate its at least not a bomb, but its insanely overpriced, you could have gotten a 1000w unit for less than half the price. Again, icue sucks. The h9 flow is a personal choice ig, but i personally hate nzxt products generally. Mediocre model of 4090 but like, there arent any particularly good ones under 2k anyways

Future proofing is bs

#

What kind of productivity

#

Also if you want to buy the 5090 when it comes out why are you buying a 4090?

#

If you absolutely need rgb there are much better options than icue

#

Then buy for what you need now, dont worry about "future proofing" thats all bs

#

Also the motherboard really doesnt have anything to do with what gpu you get honestly

#

Tbh, i would reccomend just getting a 4080 or 7900xtx rn instead of a 4090... 63 percent price difference from the 7900xtx to the 4090 and only 28% performance difference on average

#

I dont know what productivity you do though, you haven't said

#

Yeah duh

#

Most remotely modern gpus could power 4 4k monitors

#

Depends on what you actually are doing on the monitors tho

#

If u just want displays you can go much cheaper than even a 7900xtx

#

If you are trying to render yeah, you need something beefy

#

Again, please just tell me what kind of productivity you are doing

#

Actually first, before i spend anymore time on this, do you actually have any of this money right now? If not im wasting my time

#

So what applications are you using

tardy quiver
#

Main work is in finance actually, accounting but you don't need a whole lot for that do you. I do software development as a freelancer and then I game as one does.

#

Flutter is a big one

slender monolith
#

No like what is that application

#

I looked it up and didnt get much

#

Just list all the main applications you use please

#

So i know what hardware you need to run it well

#

...

#

For all i know the software you use doesnt need a 14900k at all and can easily run on a cheaper cpu thats easier to cool

#

Thats why

#

If you arent rendering the 4090 is certainly unnecessary

#

Plus y'know the risk that comes with a 4090

#

The 7800x3d performs the same or better than the 14900k in games and uses less power

#

Any decently built pc will not be something to worry about for a few years

#

But can use over 4 times as much power under load

#

Which is the usual condition of a pc being used

#

Also lets not buy into intels marketing so much, the 14900k is 8 real cores with a bunch of crappy ones called e cores

#

:p

#

The 7950x is really good for blender, afaik the absolute best in cpu mode

#

Well yeah, afaik a lot of that is fixed now but the scummy way they dealt with it sucked

#

Do you know about the 4090 issues tho?

#

Connector not cable

#

Its a really bad design

#

Theres a chance of the connection bursting into flames under load due to the bizzare way they set up the pins

#

Its the only card that does it, since it uses so much power

#

Wdym?

#

Its with the 12vhpwr, the connector used to give power to the 4090

#

Its used in other nvidia cards but it isnt a fire hazard with those

#

?

#

No

#

😑

#

Btw

#

The 7950x3d is not the best of both

#

Its worse than either

#

Worse than the 7950x at productivity, worse than the 7800x3d at gaming

#

Only by a bit but just an fyi
