Okay, thanks for your honest reply. I’ll go ahead and get a Mac Pro.

What do you plan to use whatever you end up owning for exactly?

-Asus W680- why? I don't see any SAS drives here.

-A4500- Why? A consumer RTX card can probably meet your requirements at a saner pricepoint. You'll also either have to hunt server liquidation sales or pay the full premium of a server license.

-1TB of pcie3 ssd- why? Are you not doing some heavy production on this rig? If not, then why is everything so overbuilt?

I assume the 4x kit is associated with the above, so I shall not question that.

But LightmanDavidL is right: I would not assemble such a rig for any reason. The choices are baffling for any purpose I can think of.

This Asus mobo, since it has multiple full-length PCI slots. Considering an A4500 or two A4000 GPUs. Yes, it’s a production rig, so it should be PCI 4 SSD.

What’s the recommended build for an i9 14900K with the mentioned GPU, is 196GB memory stable?

You can get an ASRock Z790 taichi lite to support two GPUs in x8/x8, iirc. Just a nice tip to know.

4 sticks is just difficult to run good timings on. I'm seeing difficulty pushing it past 5200. You'll just have to run them on reduced or stock timings if xmp fails. If you only need 96GB, a 2x48 kit might be a better choice.

Ada A4000 is good for power consumption, but for the same price used you can usually get a 4070TiS new. Which one is up to you.

Please do get a pcie4 SSD, and more than 1TB of it.
