Greetings. Figuring out a PC for my edit addicted son (successful enough on social media to afford this himself! So strange.) USA/California.
I put this together: https://www.cgdirector.com/pc-builder/?=6Mzfk
CPU: seems like the CPU most recommend is the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X
GPU: I'm not sure which GPU is best. My son thinks the RTX card has greater compatibility. Based on Puget's scores is the AMD Radeon RX 6800 worth the extra from the 3060ti or 3070? Or try to find a 3080?
MEMORY: Does it matter if I do 2x32GB or is the (4 x 16GB) G.Skill Trident Z Neo just fine? Will I want the slots if he increases the RAM? And what is "Fan Up-Shift"?
STORAGE: Three drives recommended? Most seem so but wanted feedback. Maybe a bigger one for storage that isn't solid state?
POWER SUPPLY: Is the 650W enough for future planning? Not sure
OS: does home or pro matter? I wouldn't think so.
Most of his time is in After Effects and Blender so I want to really get it right for both as his current gaming laptop is torturing the poor teenager. Any tweaks up or down for any of the parts?
