New PC, new job

Good day
Going to keep it as short as possible, I’m about to career shift and getting myself my first job within cybersecurity (SOC-analyst) this year and are hitting into some limits with my Dell XPS 15 from 2021.
Don’t need anything else then just the computer.

Budget: ~ 4000€
Location: Sweden (can buy from EU)
Use case from most → less hours: VM(labs/forensics), DB queries, premiere pro (4-6k video), Gaming (FPS), Ai-models
OS: Windows
Requirements: nic 10Gb/s, 96gb ram +

What i prefer is air-cool, now noise and snappy in performance. im leaning towards Intel since productivity is my main focus and for videocard is where i have a problem where i really cant decide, can also wait for half a year on 5070/5080 and get a intel B580 meanwhile.
Have a NAS where i offload most of my storage except “currently in works” and a XCP-ng server for services running 24/7.

Currently have 2x1440p display but will update when i move (1 year from now) most likely to 1x4k + 2x1440p monitors.

you can easily buy from China and ask them to lower value

AI models you should look at Supermicro H12SSL-i with 7402P or 7713

Valid, theres still the 20% tax added if done “right” there is some deals on ebay for that combo for $ 474 AMD EPYC 7302p+ Supermicro H11SSL-i version 2.0 16cores 32threads 3.0 GHz combo | eBay

that platform with 256gb 3200mhz ecc is going land on 1600€

will also be adding ECC with a more of a workstation setup also worth it and also the additional connectivity.

That guy on ebay is very famous, he is frequent at STH forum. If you ping him there, and pay via paypal can get additional discount.

Shop around, tell them what spec you need, they will do it.

For NICs go with ConnectX 4 Lx. They are cheap.

Thank you, will ping him once im boiling down the specs, also also need to look into updating my switch with that NIC :sweat_smile:
