March 14, 20242 yr My current build to be upgraded: MB: ASRock X370 Taichi CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1700 RAM: 64GB DDR4 Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 Chroma Black Case: Fractal Design Meshify 2 XL Cache: CORSAIR FORCE Series MP510 (960GB), Sabrent Rocket Q4 1TB, 2 X Addlink SSD 512GB Parity: 1x WD Red 14TB & 1x WD Red 18TB Array: 8x WD Red 14TB & 2x 10TB Red 10TB PSU: Seasonic 80Plus Gold 1300W This build has an issue with not having enough PCIe Lanes. With this planned upgrade, I wanted to resolve this issue. Much of the hardware is already owned and just core parts are being replaced, Mobo, CPU and RAM mostly. I prefer AMD CPUs but have had trouble finding an EPYC to fit into the budget. My hope is that you all can make suggestions to remove the lane concerns while keeping within the current budget. ~$700 USD. Also, I dont mind shopping ebay for used parts if they dont wear. current plan. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mvkPHG PS, I really like what Alex did here, but I haven't had any luck finding this CPU or Mobo within budget.
