Dell Precision 7920 - what's my best options around $8500?

[Chris Walters]

Hi all,

I have around $8500 to spend on a Dell Precision 7920:

What options should I choose and why? I need advice specifically on the CPU, Video Card, Harddrive, and RAM. I want the system to be as fast as possible within my budget. Currently I have:

Processor: Intel Xeon Gold 6136 3.0GHz, 3.7GHz Turbo, 12C, 10.4GT/s 3UPI,24.75M Cache, HT (150W) DDR4-2666
Memory: 128GB (8x16GB) 2666MHz DDR4 RDIMM ECC
Hard Drive: M.2 1TB PCIe NVMe Class 40 Solid State Drive

Video Card: NVIDIA® Quadro® P1000, 4GB, 4 mDP (7X20T)

Are these the best options I have to stay within budget?

Thanks!
Chris

What are you doing with your workstation? What is your workload? Depending on your task, you might want to put more money into a bigger GPU, or more powerful CPUs, or faster storage.

from the other thread you started and have apparently abandoned to start a fresh thread here...

Just checked that link you posted... yummy.
You can go dual processor. What exactly are you planning on doing with this system?

yup or is RAM the priority. I purchased a couple of the older 7910's and I know there are many, many options for CPU, ram, storage, graphics, power supplies, you name it. Its impossible to recommend from among the huge variety of combinations without knowing what it will be used for,
