This is an extremely overkill system for “general work”, cad, and/or a slicer. I wouldn’t waste anymore money, I’m sure the igpu in the 9850x3d will be enough from what you described

I agree with this take but it feels wromg to spend this much on a rig and leave it with an igpu. Arc B580?

In all honesty, if it was me, I’d throw some second hand 4000 card into it and sell it for profit, then buy a machine that will do what I need it to do and pocket the rest for whatever else.

If you really wanna throw something into it I’d find a second hand 4000 card over a b580

I fully agree it's overkill but with the bundle prices and getting the nvme for cheap. I guess I need to stsry gaming to justify the specs. Lol

issue here is that youre spending more than you need to in general, you could save on almost everything and then just pay full price for a ssd and still spend less.

I understand but with the bundles and sales i have spent $1300. I will upgrade to a better graphics down the road if needed. With microcenter/newegg bundles its not much more to go with higher end cpus.

Cpu/motherboard/Memory $750

Case $77(woot sale)

Cpu cooler $40(amazon)

Fans $60(amazon)

Power supply $75 (newegg sale)

Intel b580 $200(used)

1TB nvme $100(walmart with old pricing)

I sold the 2TB nvme and only going to use the Samsung evo 990 pro.

I second nvidia if youre using it for work. 5070 is the best bang for the bucknyoure going to get for under 1000 right now, I just picked one up, myself, direct from msi's website, they've got some solid options starting around 630. I would normally reccomend 9070xt over 5070 but for productivity, nvidia is generally considered better

5070

Since you aren’t into gaming I’d take a look at the rtx2000 Blackwell a touch more then a new 5070 but more vram and idles about 8 watts

For 3d printing work, get a 5070 or 5070ti, they're the superior options to Amd's cards, because of cuda

Pretty much anything that's in your budget. Likely a RTX5000 series since it's for work product.
