if i go for this instead? will it be better? Intel Core i7 9700KF 3.6 GHz 12MB mothercard; ASUS PRIME Z390-A
457.84 Dollar for i7 9700, and 160 dollar for the ASUS PRIME Z390-A | 307 dollar for ryzen 5 and 220 for the mothercard Gigabyte X570 GAMING X
Why so? Please dont judge my computer skills haha (EDIT - the mothercatd ASUS Prime z390 did support it so guess im fine
The only thing I would consider changing is Get 3200mhz RAM. Ryzen benefits from faster RAM. And it is not that much more.
Changed from ryzen to Intel Core i7 9700KF 3.6 GHz 12MBIntel Core i7 9700KF 3.6 GHz 12MB enough ram now?
Well, I posted this daw benchmark already here. the 9700k is not as good as a 3700x and the kf is well google 9700k vs 9700kf. http://www.scanproaudio.info/2019/0...00x-dawbench-tested-3-is-it-the-magic-number/
12MB is not good, use either 16GB(2x8) or 32GB(2x16) You can config and check prices with https://se.pcpartpicker.com/ For PSU use https://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator For the Intel CPU get a motherboard with decent VRM like the Gigabyte Z390 PRO(has Thunderbolt header) https://be.hardware.info/reviews/88...rd-is-echt-8-core-waardig-benchmarks-vrm-test The Samsung 860 QVO would be my last choice for a boot drive, lower performance/endurance https://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/samsung_860_qvo_2tb_ssd_review,1.html Something like Corsair MP510 is much better in both performance/endurance https://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/corsair-force-series-mp510-m-2-ssd-review,1.html The best(noise/efficiency) air cooler is the Noctua NH-D15 https://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/6313/noctua-nh-d15-cpu-cooler-review/index6.html For audio workloads AMD GPU have less latency than Nvidia https://www.gearslutz.com/board/mus...tter-amd-graphic-cards-3-card-comparison.html If decides for AMD CPU, only the ASRock X570 line have ThunderBolt header like the Taichi X570, there will be models with built-in Thunderbolt like the ASRock X570 Creator, If ThunderBolt is not needed can economize some bucks by getting the MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX(must be the MAX), it is good motherboard up to Ryzen 3800X. https://www.cclonline.com/product/2...ket-AM4-B450-Chipset-ATX-Motherboard/MBD2680/ For AMD CPU I would get a bit faster RAM than 2600MHz Last edited: Aug 9, 2019
The 3800x has only slightly better single core performance than the 9700K but it has twice the number of threads, so in multicore performance the Ryzen annihilates Intel. For only $50 more I think that's a no brainer.
1. ditch the Nvidia chipset graphics card and go AMD, Nvidia tends to mess with audio sometimes, especially with Cubase. 2. Your data drive is too slow, 7200rpm will serve you much better for streaming samples also look for a NAS drive, they excel at streaming media 3. while thunderbolt 3 compatibility is nice it's not a deal-breaker unless you plan to buy a compatible audio interface and drive in the near future, not many products out there support it and they are pretty pricy.
Go for the Ryzen .. it would be stupid to buy one year old Intel CPU .. I also came from a 9700 to a Ryzen 3700X .. Single Core Perfomance is much better .. my projects in ableton have up to 15% less CPU load ..
I have changed some in my specs and this is the most money i can spend, will this computer be good? * AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 3.9 GHz 36MB * Powercolor Radeon RX 570 4GB Red Dragon * Mobo - ASUS PRIME X570-P * Ballistix 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3200MHz * HRDDRW - Corsair Force MP510 240GB * Seagate BarraCuda Desktop 3TB 5400rpm 256MB * Corsair Hydro H150i PRO RGB 360mm * PSU - Corsair RM750 750W (2019) Maybe this cooler instead?

That 5400rpm Seagate needs to go. If it's for samples and games you want a 7200rpm drive. If you are using heavy samples like Orchestral stuff you'll need an SSD
