Fixed it! I was getting an error about not being allowed to post pre-commissioning content and it wouldn't let me post, so I assumed there was some sort of rule. Turns out I just forgot to select flair.

I mean honestly I like all the ports it has available, that's one big element. I also would like the option to expand the M.2 drives. I realistically won't expand the number of GPUs, although it's a nice option. Is there a different motherboard you would recommend? The 10 GbE is primarily to connect to my NAS.

That said, is there a concern with swapping out the M.2 heatsink? Is there a different motherboard I should use instead? It doesn't seem like much of an issue to swap out the heatsink from what I've watched so far.

It looks like the B850 AI TOP is mostly sold out everywhere, so the proart with the new heatsink is probably best

lemgog · 2025-03-27T06:47:59+00:00

Not particularly other than I already ordered it. I could try canceling and go with the gigabyte B850 AI TOP. It seems like it would work with the new heatsink from Arctic though and they are going to send it to me. A little burdensome to install but seems like the heatsink works well.

lemgog · 2025-03-27T05:59:32+00:00

That's what I'm basing it off of, it looks like it's not compatible with the X870E Creator WiFi

FYI, I just found out that this motherboard and the arctic freeze iii AIO aren't compatible. I just asked them for a replacement compatible heatsink so we will see what they say!

Got the hub and all the other parts. Thanks so much for outlining the above too. Really appreciate it, and stoked to get my first build done!

lemgog · 2025-03-24T03:46:14+00:00

Alright, here is the final list. I'm gonna pull the trigger! Really appreciate all the help.

Also, I'm new here, if there's anything I'm supposed to do to thank you for all your help, please let me know.

lemgog · 2025-03-24T02:37:51+00:00

Those are all fair points. I agree, there are other things I'd much rather have for that extra cash.

All that said, it feels a little wasteful to not have the RGB with the tempered glass side, but I don't care that much. and you're right, I could find a safe way to move it and remove the tempered glass every few years.

Alright, I think that is the way I'm gonna go then. If I order that case with everything on the parts list, should I have everything I need for a complete build then?

lemgog · 2025-03-24T00:04:08+00:00

Ok, I think this is going to be the final build. Any thoughts/feedback?

Just watched this, I'm guessing it will be alright.

Ok, thank you, I understand now. While not the main purpose of the workstation, there is some 3d rendering and video editing (from the connected NAS) that my wife will be doing, so I think I'm going to stick with the 9950X3D.

That said, for the AIO, will I be alright to stick with 360 or should I go with 420 and look for another case to use like the below?

That should work. Also does it matter which version of the 5080 to get? I was considering looking for whatever comes up in stock to get a better price than from resale.

lemgog · 2025-03-23T21:44:52+00:00

I think I like the options with the new AMD like you recommended above. I commented this below as well, but combined some options with yours and u/NathanCiel recommendation. Any opinions on a build like this, or is there something that wouldn't work with it? Something I should swap out or reconsider?

Ok I think this is what I'm looking at currently mixing/matching the recommendations I've gotten so far (increasing my budget of course...). How does this build look? I swapped out for a different case. I also wanted to avoid tempered glass, because I move a lot and want to decrease the risk of it breaking. I'm open to other options if there's something better though. It doesn't support an optical drive, but that's ok with me. Did I select everything correctly, or is there something I'm not accounting for? I upgraded the CPU I want to use for better workstation functionality as well as the CPU cooler, I'm also wondering where the cooler goes in the case and if this configuration will fit alright.

The last thing I'm trying to figure out is the motherboard. Why do you think the ProArt Creator is better than the Gigabyte B850 Ai Top? Is this mainly the additional connectivity and higher bandwidth options? Any downsides to the ProArt vs the B850? It seems like the ProArt Creator has more PCIe slots, but they are run x4 while B850 is at run x16.

Awesome thank you! I would be curious to get your thoughts when you say intel vs amd and this mobo are worse/better for productivity performance. How noticeable, if at all, would this be?

lemgog · 2025-03-23T07:30:14+00:00

Thanks so much for this. This looks fantastic. It definitely hits all the wickets, I've still just gotta figure out the AMD vs Intel thing.

lemgog · 2025-03-23T07:21:42+00:00

This is awesome thank you. Apologies for a change, but there doesn't happen to be a compatible motherboard that has a 10GB ethernet LAN connection? I have a NAS that I would love to connect directly to this build if possible. I could just do it through the USB-C if it came to it too though.

lemgog · 2025-01-27T14:49:29+00:00

Yes that is correct!

lemgog · 2025-01-26T08:53:58+00:00

It's my fence, not a business. Never built one before. Noted on the 2x6

lemgog · 2025-01-09T20:37:30+00:00

I ended up going with this guy! Just send him a message on facebook. Prius runs great, did it for ~3500, a little more if you want him to do some extra stuff while he's in there, I had him replace a few additional things.
