My new workstation arrives in 1 week. What do you think of this build spec?

Hello,

For what it’s worth, I think that if this workstation is intended to be used for Corona rendering mostly (=no GPU rendering), you should have bought a less powerful graphic card, and a more powerful CPU.
However, going on 128 Gb RAM is a good choice. Maybe another NVMe or two instead of the “classical” 6TB hard drive, especially with it running at 5400 rpm.

Anyway, you’ll get a great workstation to play with, enjoy :smiley:

I was hesitant to buy 5400 rpm disk either, but it turned out to be even faster than my ancient 10K rpm velociraptor :] No doubt, NVME or SSD would be better choice, if you have unlimited budget that is.
