I'm a gamer, so I don't have any specific knowledge of what will be best for your use, but I am fairly well informed about the latest tech and what it can do.
First off, I think you might take a very close look at the Ryzen 9 5900X. AMD has been gaining on Intel for several years now, and the 5900X, with 12 cores and 24 threads, and a 64MB cache is superior to the older 10900X by a significant 17%, while at about the same price. https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i9-10900X-vs-AMD-Ryzen-9-5900X/m969950vs4087 Take note that it is faster/stronger on every average score, especially lower memory latency. The Ryzen has a 64MB L3 cache vs intel's 19.5MB. Second, I don't know the computer process that can't benefit by better transfers from storage. The Storage Set 1 you have selected is literally the slowest SSD here. It is a SATA part, while there are NVM Express SSDs available. The Samsung 500GB 980 PRO offers 12 times the read speed, and 9 times the write speed of the SATA part. That will "turbocharge" everything you do from that drive. Your software, for example, will run much faster, and your machine will boot in <30 seconds. IDK if you would not also benefit from faster secondary storage. There are some SSDs available that will outperform any mechanical drive and fit well within your budget. Be selective, though. There are some storage choices that are not very economical compared to online pricing. I also wish to mention that the case you have listed is the second most expensive one here. If you click on the case in the configurator, you will see alternate choices to save some cash. Here is a possible alternate configuration just to show you what could be possible within your budget: https://www.digitalstorm.com/configurator.asp?id=4096054 Again, I'm poorly informed about your specific needs, but this sample build contains upgrades to your selections that would benefit any use IMHO. Hope it helps.  Edited by Cretae - 21 Sep 2021 at 4:34am |

I think, @Cretae has a good suggestion.
I do recall seeing the Ryzen 5000 series has one of the lowest latency memory controllers. So, I was going to suggest that as well. Additionally, I never paid super close attention though would believe -- maybe because I was already using an NVMe drive -- but SQL Server indeed performs better with faster storage.

Thank you, MrCheetah, for clarifying that the RAM upgrade would be a good idea. I didn't feel I should push that in case it was overkill, but I left plenty of room in the budget in case the OP would want to go that way. Your confirmation that it would be a big help is good enough for me.
@jc_hv: MrCheetah has recommended a solid build well within your budget. I think it would meet your needs very well for several years. Every DS custom build is very upgradeable.
