Hi, Everybody! I am a programmer in game industry. Recently I focused on Unreal 4 development. I want to buy a desktop for developing in Unreal Engine. But I am not sure about the hardware configurations. So can anyone give me some advice? I have some questions:
Mainboard. I have to decide to use a X570 chipset since it supports PCIe 4.0 data transfer.
1. About the CPU. Sould I use Ryzen 3700X or 3900X? Programmer can tolerate 3700X? Or 3700X is enough? Is there any necessity to use 3900X? If I use 3700X CPU for compiling the whold project, will it be too slowly, and 3900X will be much faster?
2. About the GPU. Since the NVIDIA RTX 30XX is about to shipping several days later. I plan to buy a second hand GTX970 for use temporarily. Later will transfer to RTX30XX(3070 or 3080). If I want to develop some real-time ray-tracing application. Should I transfer to RTX 30XX or RTX 20XX, or just GTX 16XX is enough? And the speed for different GPU matters?
3. About the Storage. Epic recommend SSD storage. So may I use SATA SSD storage with a 6Gb/s transfer speed or higher? Does the seed of SSD matters too much?
I am williing to receive your answers. Thank you very much!
