Budget i9 Build Feedback
Whats up Duc? Long time no see! Time to upgrade my i7 920 build from 2007
I'm parting together a budget i9 build, and was hoping for some some feedback on the choice of parts and also if I would be OK with the integrated graphics card or if I should spring for a component. Use case is composing / creating with 15-20 VI's at a time, mostly NI Komplete stuff and some processing on each track before committing to audio. CPU: Intel Core i9-9900K 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-L12S 55.44 CFM CPU Cooler Motherboard: Asus PRIME Z390-A ATX LGA1151 Motherboard Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 Graphics: Integrated Graphics Processor - Intel HD Graphics supportMulti-VGA output support: HDMI/DisplayPort ports Supports HDMI with max. resolution 4096 x 2160 @ 30 HzSupports DisplayPort 1.2 with max. resolution 4096 x 2304 @ 60 HzMaximum shared memory of 1024MB (for iGPU exclusively)Supports Intel InTru 3D, Quick Sync Video, Clear Video HD Technology, Insider Storage: Samsung 860 Evo 250 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (system) Storage: Samsung 860 Evo 250 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (session) Storage: Western Digital BLACK SERIES 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM (library) ASUS PCE-AC68 PCI Express Dual-band Wireless-AC1900 Adapter Power Supply: EVGA BQ 850 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-modular ATX (I already have it) Thoughts are appreciated!

Re: Budget i9 Build Feedback
Oooh I read that thread. I would definitely need to scale down due to price. The components above come to about $1300. The OP on that thread was around $3.500.
Maybe I will post this in the i7 build sticky...

Re: Budget i9 Build Feedback
Hey everyone, wanted to give an update on this for anyone interested in doing a budget i9 build.
The system has been solid for about 3 weeks. I had 1 strange but isolated sudden exit from PT11 but could not replicate the issue. All optimizations done as per Avid recommendations. I run a lot of VI's before committing to audio, mostly NI stuff / Komplete Kontrol, Stylus, Trillian etc. So far the system has proved to be wicked quick and stable. Hovering usually at 20 VI's with some processing before I start bouncing. Let me know if you have any questions! Case: be quiet! Silent Base 801 Orange ATX Midi Tower CPU: Intel Core i9-9900K Coffee Lake 8-Core, 16-Thread, 3.6 GHz (5.0 GHz Turbo) LGA 1151 (300 Series) 95W CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 SSO2 D-Type Premium CPU Cooler, NF-A15 x 2 PWM Fans Motherboard: Asus PRIME Z390-A ATX LGA1151 Motherboard Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 64 GB (4 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 Graphics: Integrated Graphics Processor - Intel HD Graphics supportMulti-VGA output support: HDMI/DisplayPort ports Supports HDMI with max. resolution 4096 x 2160 @ 30 HzSupports DisplayPort 1.2 with max. resolution 4096 x 2304 @ 60 HzMaximum shared memory of 1024MB (for iGPU exclusively)Supports Intel InTru 3D, Quick Sync Video, Clear Video HD Technology, Insider Storage: Samsung 970 Evo NVMe M.2 (system) Storage: Samsung 860 Evo 250 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (recording) Storage: Samsung 860 Evo 250 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (no idea what to do with this drive ) Storage: Samsung 860 Evo 1 TB 2.5" Solid State Drive (Library / Samples) Storage: Western Digital BLACK SERIES 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM (Backup) ASUS PCE-AC68 PCI Express Dual-band Wireless-AC1900 Adapter Power Supply: EVGA BQ 850 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-modular ATX Cheers!

Re: Budget i9 Build Feedback
I got the motherboard, processor and NVMe M.2 SSD (250 GB) in a combo at New Egg, $60 dollars off compared to purchasing separately.
