So. Im about to build another desktop to get back into some EQ fun.  Been a couple years and I'll need to start over with a new desktop.

For you all out there boxing.. 10+ toons

What would you recommend - Best intel / amd generation without that 2k price tag..

Was looking at I7-9700k and Ryzen 7 3800x with around 32gb ram -
 no video card (I think I remembered CPU  / RAM was more important to EQ than the graphic's card ever was..
- Samsung 970 pro m.2 for a harddrive

Figured those basicis would build me a great rig... If it's over kill ... What would ya'll suggest i5-6core (to save a bit of money without loss of performance) ?

Any suggestions would be greatly apprecaited.. Sorry if I've got this in the wrong forum or missed an older build list from recent days...


Thanks!

Josh

I would definitely avoid the Ryzen 3000X line. I built a new PC last weekend with a Ryzen 9 3900X, and it runs really hot. 40 - 50C idle, and 80 when stressed using an H100i water cooler. It's not a problem with the cooling as I tried another water-based and air-based solution with similar results.

Researching after the fact (doh!) this seems to be a common issue with Ryzen 3000X series CPUs, which AMD claims is a non-issue. I've never had CPU run that hot in my builds before though, especially idle.

thanks for the reply bud... I did notice most of the Ryzen chips ran hotter at idle but appeared to run slightly cooler when running hard... I'll probably just keep looking at the  i7-9700s and maybe i5 6cores

Appreciate the insight!

No one's wanting to share their badass 20box budget rig at least?

I'm sure my pc would run 20 toons without much issue but I wouldn't exactly say it's badass and was $1500 total. Took a classmates suggestion on the video card to use a GTX 1660 TI and it runs pretty well but around $600-700 of the cost was spent on a processor.

hM. Do you know if the video card did help with multiple toon running?

I was under the impression vid'cards didn't help nearly as much, but if that's wrong I gotta re-think what I'm buying regardless.
- Probably been 3 years since I been on. Hopefully toons are all still there but.. I had an old i7-4790 and it ran up to 10 without anything but on board video - after 10 started to lag some -
- So I wonder if an actual video card would of helped any..
Thanks for response
(which processor did you go with i9-9900k or an AMD?)

18 on an old quad core amd 630 x4 with a gtx 750 ran ish ok was me old desktop.

12 max with very reduced setting on a 6 gen i5 with on board graffix.

not much of a comparison but added a 1050 gtx and everything on max no stickfigues or anything no messing.

Ram lots 16gb min for multiboxing allow 1/2 gb per account

Cores more the better most are quad or six core or even eight so no need for an old xeon

SSD

a sensible card.


Or better dust of the 4th gen add a 1650
