Hello,

I can't find recommendations for node builds anywhere. I'm trying to keep it as cheap as possible with Ryzen 1700x and I'm wondering how a bare-bones node should look like?

I think I can save a lot in ram compared to my main system, but I'm unsure as I've  never worked with nodes.

Would something like this work? ... Ryzen 1700x, Cheapest Mobo, 120GB SSD, 8GB Ram, no graphics card? 

My very limited understanding is that Corona won't benefit from a graphics card, but I don't know how ram hungry it is...  My main system has 64 GB of ram.
Also, if I'm using a Ryzen 1700x computer as my main system, having a node with the same processor essentially slashes render times in half? What about 4 system or 8? Is there a point where you start to get diminishing returns?

Thanks for your patience :)

I'd say 32GB Ram should be the minimum, even for nodes. I have 16GB Ram nodes and they always run out of memory.
