Hardware Recommendations for Revit 2019

[Anonymous]

the age old question, what is a recommendation for a "biggest bang of the money" computer? In the past there have been posts that have made good recommendations, but nothing is current that I've found. Looking to spend $1500 to $2,500 without monitors. All of my office computers use dual monitors, 500 MB SSD (Samsung Evo 850) and a 1 TB HD (WD black). I'm partial to ASUS and SuperMicro motherboards, Intel CPU's. I have 2x8 PC4-22400 DDR4-2800 Ripjaws memory unused in my desk and may add more if necessary. Graphics cards are still a big question, we have used gaming cards in the past but recently used Radeon Pro WX1500 8 GB (probably over kill here). I am interested in reliability and service life and not interested in over clocking and liquid coolers.

We're currently using Revit BDSP 2018 but have 2019 on the shelf. Mostly high end custom homes, file size <100MB, some rendering. What would you recommend?

I went through what you are going through now last august.

I have the i9-7900x just came down in price work great. needs alot of cooling. I have 8 fans and water cooling 

10 cores running at 4ghz (overclocked)

my motherboard Asus prime x299-a work great and two slots for ssd's 

I have a nvidia p4000 8g 

the amd wx7100 is almost the same thing and less expensive certified by autodesk also check the WX5100

I have a starter water cooling kit and it work just fine

Isn't there an updated version for 2019?!?

Altough there is a small section on CPU, it is absent on hyper-threading. The RFO benchmarks appear to indicate no benefit in having hyperthreading.

This is important whne choosing from an i7-9700K or i9-9900K.

Any recommendation on this is highly appreciatted.
