I'm looking for a PC to do "calculations"
-
Hello, I'm looking for a PC for a very specific use: to use an SDK that computes data, that is...it downloads some data from a DB and uses a genetic algorithm to find combinations.
It's a PC for "work", currently I do it with an MSI that has an 8750H micro and to be honest it works very well, but I'm looking for something with more power.I've tried options like OVH...Contabo where I rent a VPS with a Xeon...but the Xeons they have are "outdated" so the 8750H pulls a lot...but much more.
So I've opted to build a tower, the budget is around 1000€ just the tower without a graphics card as it will be used for the purpose described above.
To be honest I've always been an Intel fan due to my bad experiences with AMD in the 90-00s (it's true that a lot of time has passed since then)...
Despite this, I had made this configuration with AMD a Ryzen 9 X3900 I'll show you a screenshot of it. As I say I don't rule out AMD.
That said...the RAM for now with 16GB I think is more than enough...with the current PC an MSI 8750H with 16gb of RAM the maximum I've seen has been a peak of 8gb between OS and the SDK I use.
Other doubts or suggestions...is the SSD I put a Samsung EVO 860 or look for an m2? I don't need much capacity...I'll put a 500gb but with that I'll be more than enough.
Regarding the power supply for this type of micro what power do I need? As I say it doesn't have or will have a graphics card.
Any recommendations for the case? I'm going to have it in the office under my feet...so I'm looking for maximum soundproofing possible.
And to finish...liquid cooling or a good fan? If so, which do you recommend.Thanks in advance

Hello;
A 650W power supply is more than enough, mainly because you won't be putting in a graphics card, so you could even go lower in power (as long as it's effective), around 600W or 550W from a good brand (Corsair, OCZ, Seasonic...).
Regarding the case, there are always different tastes, but in general the most recognized brands already do a pretty good job of soundproofing. The higher quality the fans you use, the lower the noise level will be.
If you're not going to overclock the processor (or even if you did), a good air cooler will be more than enough (Noctua always offers very, very good results for me). If you have a budget to spare and think you might be able to push it harder in the future, I don't think investing in liquid cooling is a bad idea.
Best regards!

I know I got here late, but if you haven't bought it yet, I would put a better motherboard with the X470 in the Ryzen, and better power phases. And regarding the RAM, at least 3200 CL16, for Ryzen 3000. Besides, the 3000 series, except for the G series, doesn't have integrated graphics, so take advantage of one you have at home (at least 8600GT for Windows 10 effects,) and you're ready
