Hi,

Looking for a new PC and think this will do the job, This will be used for programming, 3D Cad, 3d printing, Video editing etc - In not much of a game player so its not for that.

Thanks

Built a system base don Ryzen 1700 and GTX 1090 for a friend that does CAD, 3d work and 3d printing. Went with Ryzen 8 core/16 threads for CAD work that uses CPU for rendering as the more cores the better! overclocked to help a little as well
gtx 1080 along with GDDR5X for any rendering done off the GPU- Ti is almost same power but when RENDERING you'll see the gains with GDD5X , And i got the 11Gbps version for him which overclocked to 11.8Gbps! flies

price of coffeelake at the moment, worth looking in to X299 system, were Quad channel ram can help- slapping a 8700K version screams gamer, 8700 non K would have done the trick with a basic £120 pound board - the board you selected is a Gamer and Overclockers Boner!

Thanks - the one thought about the high spec is the assumption that it will last me 5 or more years before I need to think about upgrading again - not sure if that logic works

in reality is should last you a long time, but if something can do it slightly cheaper- better and has a better option to upgrade, its worth the look into.
the Ryzen Chip socket is good for another 2 generations, AMD in 2 years time might release a mainstream 12 core design which would be awesome for cad rendering- at the moment its on their High end systems and expensive, In a few years time you could pick up on of those second hand etc etc , but who knows what amd will do.
also the 8 Core would last you longer for cad then 6 core ryzen .

do you do rendering at all ?

Will be doing video rendering. (will be documenting some of my work on youtube and other video sites)

Think I'm leaning towards the Ryzen side of things

its cracking value for money - ryzen 1700 with 8 core and 12 threads should help with 4k editing for sure !
