Finally getting the pieces together for a new computer that can handle the amount of data I have with video editing in 4K HD with the Nikon D5600. Going to try and keep everything listed and up to date as possible as I acquire the various components.
Since I have been planning this for over a year I was able to keep my eyes open for some deals. Having my Google News preferences set on the list below I started seeing rumours that AMD was about to release a new, next Generation ThreadRipper 2990X. This means the last Gen should start being discounted to make room on shelves for the latest and greatest! I was able to score a combo pack on NewEgg that was exactly what I was after for a nice little discount! That takes care of the CPU with a AMD Threadripper 1950X and the ASUS ROG Zenith Extreme X399 Motherboard.
The Fractal Design Define R6 Full Tower Case happened to be on sale as well so I figured a little savings is better than no savings! Now for those pesky (and expensive) graphics proccessor unit! With Nvidia releasing the RTX 2080ti I thought I'd get a good deal on the GTX 1080Ti but alas, everyone else had the same idea and with the general specifications between the RTX and the GTX being close enough the cost savings on the older model are great, except there aren't very many left in stock.....
Now......to get some more parts.... Sponsorships or Discounts anyone????!??!!?!?!?!
