    21-30k For home use

    The number of cores are going to do squat for him. Unless he plans to render 4K resolution images all day. ASRock. Please avoid. They must have added the extra PCIe lanes via some sort of controller chip, I am not sure. Weakest power phase design of 4+1 while ASUS is offering 6+2 and...
