Hi, I'd be grateful for a few thoughts on the below. I'm looking at dual use, for local dev/personal projects (multicore/memory/GPU heavy work), and a bit of casual gaming.
Constraints:
- I need at least 64GB cpu/ 16GB GPU vram and cuda.
- I live with a noise sensitive person. Can't have it run too loud.
- Not much time to play games these days, so fast load times preferred, to handle recent titles but fine playing on lower settings.
- Will partition to dual-boot windows/linux OS.
- Don't currently plan on over clocking etc, but it will see long running (high utilisation) jobs sometimes
- Hard max budget of £2200
Particularly looking for advice on cooling and case, especially given the need for quiet running and my lack of knowledge about ICUs... but any comments welcome
Also how future proof 850W is now?
