@tim_clewz That'll be a beast mate! The Fractal case looks stealth AF 👌
Let me know how you get on with it. I'm on an M1 Mac Mini at the minute which flies for production, but I'm looking to build a Windows PC as well soon for video editing, Unreal Engine, Blender, and gaming.
I was originally looking at the RTX 3080 Ti, but now there's a RTX 5090 getting released tomorrow. Mega pricey, but it'll be powerful!
In case you want to say thank you 👍

That sounds like a beast!
- I'm thinking the same this year but only cos of the forced win11 push. Currently have a 10 yr old workstation beast. Intel 4790 4ghz, 32GB ram and stock graphics. The processor isn't win 11 compliment but still copes with most music projects I can throw at it. Budget is my main problem though 😬 Thinking of a used 4/5 yr old workstation. I9 128ram for £500 or so.... Or a modern budget spec for about £1200. Urggghh 😩

@detzen yes the windows 11 push is what got me thinking about it, plus a few glitches here and there on my 5 year old one.

@detzen It defo gets expensive!
I'd have a butchers on eBay as well. I found some decently specced pre-built Windows machines on there for decent prices before. It's worth a look.

This will definitely be power enough to do what you are looking for mate. For production and Total War you could probably bring that price down by half. I done a build for production and gaming ended up spending so much money to them not bother using it for its max potential lol
My build
Ryzen 9 7900X3D 4.4GHZ
32GB DDR5 Ram 6000mhz a piece
4TB NVME
10TB SSD
24TB Sata3
RTX 3090 24GB Graphics
1000W Plus Gold Power Supply
what I would say is if it’s just strictly production and Total War then you would get away with the following….
Ryzen 5 3600
16gb ddr4 ram
Gtx 1060
