Nice rig!! Enjoy!
...nice 32 CPU threads just in case the scene dumps to the CPU (as well as for multitasking) with 32 GB memory, a 2 TB SSD, and big PSU.
...but ouch, a 3,200$ hole burned in the pocket.
It might sound expensive but I paid about the same for a rig 20 years ago with specs..... I won't say what they were to avoid embarrassment. Lets just say the HD had less MBs than today's graphics cards.
Congrats! I see you went the cyberpowerpc route, I only recognize it because my own comp came from there. I’m very happy with them but was crossing my fingers because it was a hit or miss according to some reviews. But I got it in September and still happy with it today.
Just keep an eye on the PSU, if you bought the unbranded one that cyberpower has, rare occasions they act up and might burn out but that’s only through what I saw on the forums. I don’t have first hand experience with their PSUs mine was from EVGA. In general should be OK.
In future also skip buying Microsoft through them and buy an activation code elsewhere, it’s cheaper- but I understand the convenience of having it preinstalled and it gets rid of the hassle too.
all in all congrats on your new rig. It looks fantastic to me. It’s expensive but you won’t regret a single penny if it turns out alright because it’ll be a beast at rendering and gaming. That’s how I feel about my computer at least
Very nice spec - I'll bet that you're going to see a huge decrease in render times, as well as much smoother navigation through any 3D programs that you use.
As for the cost, that pc will last you for several years before it requires any upgrades. Most of us who do any 3D graphics work spend a lot of time on each image, so the cost per hour of "entertainment" with a machine like this will be lower than almost anything else you can do. Definitely a good investment and I hope you get a lot of enjoyment out of it.
</p LoL...same here...a 486 with a whopping 1gb hard drive and a 15" CRT. $2600. I paid that same amount ten years before that for an Atari 800 with a tape drive and a 5.25 floppy drive and 48k of RAM and no monitor. I have more power in my phone than either of those two machines.
...I still remember when an IBM 5160 XT with 128K memory (expandable to a whopping 640 K), 10 MB HDD and dual 360K 5-¾" floppy drives was 5,000$
I'd keep an eye on your CPU thermals. That CPU runs very hot and you've got a very small radiator cooling it. If you do anything really CPU intensive for a long time it could throttle.
Me too, 18 years ago. 256 MB RAM AFAIR.
Hmmm, good to know... I didn't go for any overclocking setup so hopefully that will help with keeping things cool enough.
Lately my current rig has been showing signs of older age, I was hoping to keep it going till November or whenever Black Friday hits as they usually have free shipping but lately I've been really getting annoyed with how things have been running. I run an iRAY render and I get the chugga chugga noises pretty fast, wasn't doing that a year ago. Other issues like software not running as expected and a few other noticable issues. Some mentioned I should just go a reinstallation of Windows 10 but I kinda burned out on that and just do system "fixes" and while it helps a little bit still noticing things not going in a good direction. Since I'm producing content now I can't have that worry hanging over my head. Actually had a BSOD the other day while working in DAZ Studio... that was it for me....
Only issue is now I'll have yet another rig that's hardly dead and still of use but in my closet I have a rig that's probably about 7 years old, works fine but I'll have to spend extra time blanking out the HD's and try to find someone that needs it. I have a friend up in WA state that lost her home to fire so they may need it. I'll ask Laurel and see... they may all be happy with laptops and tablets though.... I'll then put this current rig up into the cubby where the even older rig is at and that will be my new back up rig in case of 'what ever' ....
Been using CyberPower for years and years now.... Good company and they are like in San Jose which is about 40 minutes by car from where I live so when they ship it's usually here in a day.......
Since the whole thing is paid for now the MS WIndows 10 Pro comes loaded so all I have to do boot in and put in the code.... I'm good with that. Good to know about the PSU. I'm sure CP works on getting bugs resolved in their own branded parts so we shall see what happens. I was a little taken aback by the 1000, as it was only suggested I needed was an 800 but since this was part of the package deal it was one aspect of the set up that I didn't change out. I did change out the ASUS MB for the Gigabyte MB as I'm a big fan of thier MB's. I won't buy a computer unless the mother board is a Gigabyte.
Ooooooooo...nice rig. Enjoy :)
Got my laptop from Cyberpower. Wasn't a particularly stellar experience, but the lappy is still running after 3 years of super hard use now. LOL

Thanks hon. I'm still blown away by the prospect of having an i9 processor. I'm very excited to see what it does for production and rendering speed along with the higher end graphics card! WOOT!
Really looks super! Congrats. Just be sure you don't spill the ramen noodles you'll be eating for the next year on your keyboard! j/k
HAHAHA . I don't eat Ramon but I do eat my food at my computer most of the time. The only thing that gets stuff on it from time to time is my keyboard! LOL
If you need customer support you should get substantially better service than you would have previously. Linus Sebastian of Linus Tech Tips bought a bunch of pre builts from the major SI's over Xmas and put up videos of the process of buying the systems over the phone as well as the level of uselessness of the level 1 tech support. Since LTT is a huge YouTube channel this really got the SI's attention. Many including Cyberpower claim to be revamping their phone support ooperation.

If you don't have a UPS for it, get one. I'm assuming if you're doing rendering you have one, but voltage sags can destroy things almost as well as spikes.
And may I add... My first machine was an IBM PS/2 Model 30. 640K of RAM, 20MB (That's megabyte, not gigabyte nor terrabyte) hard drive, CGA graphics, a 10 mhz 8086 processor and an external 5 1/4 floppy and it cost... about the same amount as what you just bought.
The worst a brown out or actual black out will do is shut down the system. The days of hard drives crashing platters on a power failure are long gone. Losing a long running render can be annoying so it's up to you if a UPS, which generally cost a couple of hundred dollars, is worth the investment but most won't keep a system running for hours if you run renders over night.
All the SI's I know of charge for shipping. An assembled PC is very heavy and bulky plus packing one to ship safely is very time consuming and expensive. The last thing you want is a graphic card or stick oframe coming loose and rattling around during shipping.
I take it I won't be receiving a birthday present, again?
Then get a cheap one. LOL
Laurie
Very true. I did get a nice surge protection unit with the new rig and I'll use that. The last FOUR UPS's I bought went south very quickly and caused me miles of aggravation... all were from that company that's got a good reputation for their products, can't remember their name off the top of my head but after the last one went I threw my hands up. Not overly worried about it.
You never write, you never call, you never cuddle and you want a BDay gift? Pishaw! lol
I have a pretty mid range Logitech keyboard that is actually water proof and back lit so the only annoyance is when I bit of food gets inbetween the keys I have to grab a tooth pick to fling it out! LOL
Once you hit $3k, I think I would have just spent the extra and gone with the 2080ti for the 14GB memory and almost double CUDA cores.
Ughh. I'm sort of a keyboard and mouse snob. I spend so much of my time at the things, and the ones I have to use at work are so bad, that I've gotten very picky about the ones I buy. I strictly buy good mechanical keyboards and am very careful about keeping them clean and remove all the keycaps every month and throughly clean the deck.
Congratz! Sweet system, enjoy your new bundle of fun.
