Nick Blanc Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I want to upgrade, keep my old PC as a sort of media centre / everyday worksation and buy a new PC. I can pick the parts and some company will assemble everything. They have a pretty nice PC builder page where you can't really mess it up (https://www.alternate.nl/Pc-builder#!/components). Now I have no clue as to what goes well together or that there will be potential problems. So here is my pick. I'm building a pretty futureproof system I think. It will be used for music production and some slight video editting. Regarding the videocard, I'm just getting what is possible. I don't need a 3090, so anything decent in the 100-200 price range is fine. Nothing fancy. So here it is, some advice will be highly appreciated. Or just confirmation that this will work. Intel® Core i9-11900K, 3,5 GHz (5,3 GHz Turbo Boost) socket 1200 processor € 529,00 GIGABYTE AORUS Z590 ELITE AX, socket 1200 moederbord € 179,00 Noctua NH-D15 cpu-koeler € 99,90 Kingston FURY 64 GB DDR4-3200 Kit werkgeheugen € 269,00 GIGABYTE GeForce GT 1030 Low Profile D4 2G grafische kaart € 104,90 // Or whatever is possible which won't cost the same as my processor. SAMSUNG 980 PRO, 2 TB SSD € 239,00 // Main Windows/VST drive. I know it is better to keep Windows seperate, but I'm not that 'technical'. I will definitely mess that up. SAMSUNG 870 QVO, 4 TB SSD € 249,00 // Sample library data drive Seagate Exos X16 16 TB Harde schijf € 299,00 // Overall data storage Fractal Design Define R6 tower-behuizing € 139,90 Fractal Design Ion Gold 850W voeding € 84,90 Microsoft Windows 11 Pro software € 139,00 Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM case fan € 29,99 Totaal € 2.362,59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Roseberry Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 When it comes to low latency audio, the 11900k is a performance step backward (vs the 10th Gen 10900k). The newest 12900k (12th Gen) smokes them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And rest of the setup? Would it work? No bottlenecks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes I believe the chip itself is available, just not in that particular part picker. Shows my level of expertise. Anyway, a similar setup but with a 12 gen (and diffirent mobo etc) should work then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typing isn't faster... but the 12900k exists in the here/now. If you want to run heavy loads at lowest possible latency, there's not a better CPU.
