Hello everyone,
Below is my proposed list for a high-end workstation designed specifically for demanding workloads in Unreal Engine 5 (Cinematic Animation, Complex VFX/Simulations) and Blender (High-Poly Modeling, Cycles/Path Tracer Rendering). My goal is to achieve the smoothest experience in the viewport and during rendering without bottlenecks in large-scale projects.
I plan to use a NVIDIA RTX 4090 in my system due to its high VRAM capacity.
My Proposed List:
Processor (CPU): AMD Ryzen 9 9900X
Graphics Card (GPU): NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 (Used)
Motherboard: Asus TUF Gaming B850-PLUS Wi-Fi AMD AM5 DDR5 ATX
Memory (RAM): XPG Lancer Black DDR5-6000Mhz CL30 64GB (2x32GB) Dual Kit
Main SSD (OS/Programs): Samsung 9100 Pro 1TB PCIe NVMe M.2
Project SSD (Projects): Kioxia Exceria PRO 2 TB PCI-Express 4.0 M.2 SSD
Power Supply (PSU): NZXT C1200 1200W 80 PLUS GOLD FULL MODULAR ATX 3.1
Liquid Cooler: Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360
Case: Lian Li Lancool 207RX ARGB Fanlı Siyah ATX
My Main Questions and Concerns:
CPU/Motherboard Compatibility: Will I face any issues getting full performance from the 9900X CPU with the B850 motherboard? Or would switching to an X870E chipset board be a more appropriate choice?
SSD Speed: Do you think the ultra-high read/write speeds (14700MB/s) of the Samsung 9100 Pro will make a noticeable difference in Unreal Engine loading times, shader compilation, and file transfers?
RAM Speed/Latency: Is the CL30 6000MHz I’ve chosen the “sweet spot” for the Ryzen 9000 series? Is it worth trying a higher frequency?
PSU and Cooling Adequacy: Are the 1200W PSU and 360mm AIO liquid cooler definitely sufficient to keep these high-end components stable under prolonged full load?
I would appreciate any help from experienced members regarding potential bottlenecks, incompatibilities, or better component suggestions in this list.
Thank you in advance!
