Looking for Advice on My Dual RTX 5090 Build
Asked by
TechWizard47
Hey everyone! I'm planning a build for a machine learning workstation (not gaming, so I know the RTX 5090 is a bit much for that). This is my first PC build, and I'm looking for some help. I want to start with one RTX 5090, but I'm hoping to have the capability to add another down the line. I've been recommended a motherboard and case that should fit, but I wanted to know if you all think they're good choices. Also, is a 1600W power supply enough? Here's my current parts list, which I'd like to keep under $2000 for everything besides the GPU, but I have a little flexibility since my total budget is $4000. Any thoughts on my choices or suggestions on how I can improve this build? Thanks in advance!

Hey, your build looks solid! If you're primarily focused on machine learning, I'd suggest upgrading to the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D. It's a bit more expensive but offers better multi-threading performance which can really help with processing power. As for the power supply, 1600W should be sufficient for one 5090, but consider a higher wattage for dual GPUs to ensure you won’t run into any issues later on. Check out my part list I put together as a reference!

BuildMaster99: Good call on the processor, but keep in mind that you might end up needing a more powerful PSU if you add a second RTX 5090 later!
