I am making a list and checking it twice before we hit BF / CM and xmas trade.
I have spent a few days looking at all reviews and specs, focusing on noise in particular, so this is where I am standing with the tech and would like to run this through some new eyes. Perhaps it will be a useful reference point to others too.
Aim: all AMD mid-priced, discreet and ultra quiet LRC + PS and occasional Resolve 17 workstation, ATX form factor.
Spec list v1:
I have a bad feeling in late 2021 / 22 the AM4 base with the core components will be obsolete as they are likely moving to a new platform. So I will either need to max this out by then and run for a while or sell the CPU-MB-RAM and put another one in.
If intel i9 was on offer for a RIDICULOUS price perhaps I would consider it. I just don't see it happening.

Spec list v1:
- CPU: Ryzen 5600x or perhaps some clearance 39x0X bargain. 5800X if I make some savings on other components.
- Motherboard: Obviously B550 or X570 but no idea where to go from there. WIFI6, BT5 and a decent amount of USB3.2 A and C ports are a must. The rest I have no clue as there are far too many on the market - just make it affordable.
- RAM: Ideally 2x16GB to start with with another 2 slots in reserve. 3200MHz?
- GPU: Another ???? Maybe AMD 5500XT 8GB from some clearance sale or used? I'm not sure if LR + PS need that much? I much prefer not to get nVidia as their linux drivers are the same hot mess from 10 years ago.
- CPU cooler: Be quiet Dark Rock 4 or Dark Rock Slim if clearance is an issue
- PSU: Be quiet straight power 700W or more? Future-proofing and all that...
- Case: Fractal design define 7 compact or Be quiet silent base 601 to best accommodate all of the above?
- SSD: either one of the PCIe gen4 1TB deals or Samsung 512GB 970 EVO Plus as budget option.
- No spinning HDD. Second SSD will be 240GB Integral for LR catalogs and scratch drive, which I already own, currently in USB3 caddy.
