    Ordered a 650 watt unit. That will easily power a Ryzen 7 3700X, GTX1660ti and all the other bits no dramas. 👍.

    Why not 64 core? Not sure I can quite afford the nearly $8K for an AMD EPYC 7702P though, the $500 for the 3700X makes me break into a sweat...

    At least that's just a sweat ... try paying $439 one week for a Ryzen 7 2700X .. only to have the 3700X come out a week later only $60, when every last % of CPU power for under $500 was vital.
    PC was for son(his birthday present), and I asked him to wait just a bit .. better value CPUs literally around the corner.

    .. nag, nag, nag .. so I relented and we went and got his bits.

    He's doing a college course on graphics creation/rendering, and uses Maya heavily.

    I'm still on my FX8350 from many years ago, and we installed Maya and did some test renders. My PC took about 29mins to render some 'thing'. His took less than 10mins to do the same.
    From what I understand of the 3700X, it could have shaved another 10-20% of his 2700X's ability.

    A site called Linux Tech Tips, recently did a video on the 64 core AMDs .. and their rendering ability is basically real time!
