Thank you guys for being an awesome community, I spent weeks lurking before pulling the trigger on this. I built this machine as an audio workstation. It's my third Hack but best one yet. Running Success' href='/2020/12/install-macos-mojave-on-supported-pc.html'>Mojave 10.14.6 since my work software isn't ready for 'Lina yet. I debated waiting for the New Mac Pro, or buying a maxed out Mini before biting the bullet on this build instead. It's more interesting this way, and I always have my old Hack or Macbook as backups.
Main uses are running Pro Tools for work and occasional video editing in FCPx or Premiere. At $1500 I am pretty happy, especially considering my previous builds ran about double that.
i9900k (not overclocked)
RX580 8GB
Auros z390 Master
32GB 3200Mhz RAM (2x16 so I can go 64GB if needed)
500GB NVMe boot drive
beQUIET Case and CPU fan (about 30dBa on normal usage, quiet enough to record a pin drop in the room)
I also added 2TB of SSD media storage and 2TB of HDD sound effects/sample storage but those are not part of the build.
Everything works so far. I call her "Silent But Deadly."
