Thank you so much for the feedback! this is great input.
I guess the main decision here would be: 13900k or 4080? Where should I invest more, on the CPU or the GPU? What is my workflow going to benefit from the most? My understanding was that photo and video editing software is more reliant on the processor than the GPU. What do you feel would have a bigger impact in performance?
As for the motherboard not having WIFI… I guess it is not something I strictly need as of today, but I would like the motherboard to be as future proof as possible and I don’t know if I might need it, or just want to use it for convenience, in the future. I am also thinking if I should get it with at least 2.5gbps ports. My network infrastructure doesn’t support it at the moment, but again, thinking about future proofing the setup, it might be worth it. Does that make sense?
I am happy with the cut in storage. I do have a NAS that I use for long term storage of finished products, so I don’t need that much HDD space on the PC. I think it is important to have an SSD with good performance for OS&applications, and for project files. So your proposal sounds right.
WRT the monitor, you are also right, resolution is probably more important for the kind of use I plan to give this PC than refresh rate, which I guess is only relevant for gamers. So thanks for the suggestion.
Also agree on the original power supply being overspecced, so happy with this and the other changes you suggested.
So, thanks again for the suggestions, and back to the original question: CPU or GPU? Where should the dough go? :)
Sometimes yes, but it depends a lot on the book. Also, each book might call for a different type of music. Best fit I can think of, was listening to Beethoven while reading The unbearable lightness of being.
Either way, always no lyrics, and often try to avoid songs I know so I can’t hum or sing along.
