2018 Q4 “Money is no Obect” Build

Thinking of whan an ideal build in Oct 2018 would look like

By Published

Life is always a balance between what’s ideal, practical, and what resources are available. Even is something isn’t fesable, it can still help you figure out what your priorities are, and then think of how to better manage what you have.

Screen

Cintiq 27QHD

Case

DA2
Motherboard: GIGABYTE B450 I AORUS PRO

CPU

AMD CPU Ryzen 5 2600

Memory

Corsair DDR4 16GBx2

Storage

Crucial 1TB Nvme

Graphics

MSI Radeon Vega 56

A few things to note. QHD on the monitor is a must. But getting a 27″ wacom monitor is spending a massive amount of money when the 22″ and 13″ versions are signiticantly cheaper. So it could be an idea to use a QHD, or 4k monitor as a main display, and then a 13″ tablet as a side drawing option.

As for the computer, it’s basically build around the case. The Dan case is a pretty beautiful looking mini-itx case. But then I really don’t like having to shop around for a graphics card and power supply. And with the Gigabyte mother board, it makes a graphics card a lot less necessary with two hdmi out directly on the board with options like the 2400G. Something like the Udoo Bolt would more than cover my use case.

Edit: Though for the sake of argument, I could go with the MSI Motherboard, and that would give me an excuse for having a graphics card.
