3D Modeling PC

[Zumii K.]

Hi everyone! I'm in the market to buy a PC.

My main interest is 3D modeling and animation, but I also do motion graphics and digital art. ZBrush, Autodesk Maya, Blender and the Adobe Creative Cloud are what I use.
As for upgrading, I might do so in the future.
I'm also shopping in the US.
My budget is preferably $2000, I'm not willing to go over $3000 since I also need to purchase a monitor and keyboard.

The build will run the workloads you listed without any issues. Do note, though, that you might want to hold off on buying the GPU, as that price tag for a 2070 super is quite high. Optimally you would be able to get your hands on a RTX 3080 for about the same price, but which has much better performance.

The 10700k is an excellent cpu for active work and has a decent amount of cores for some multi-threaded tasks in content creation, though we don't yet know if the next gen intel CPUs will be compatible with that socket an motherboard. If you'd like to go the AMD Ryzen route, AMD has some excellent new CPUs being released in November, which should blow anything intel currently has to offer out of the water. (e.g. 5900X)
