Computer for 3d Animation

[Robin Stonechild]

So looking to make a computer to handle me producing high quality animations, would like to be able to tackle bigger projects if possible. My budget is £1500/$2000, not alot I know but it needs to be able to keep up more than anything. I would like to add another hard drive for purely storage purposes so access speed doesnt matter as much there, so I will say I have anothe £100 ready for that but it probabyl shouldnt be more than £50 I would imagine. So here is what the PC builder threw at me, pretty close to the 3d animations 2021 guide, I would like to take a bigger power supply just for future upgrades so It's not one of the first things I have to swap out

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 3.8GHz 8-Core Processor ($448.62)
CPU Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 ($84.90)
Motherboard: MSI X570 Tomahawk ATX AM4 ($291.38)
GPU: Nvidia RTX 2070 8GB - Asus Turbo ($419.99)
Memory: 32GB (2 x 16GB) G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3200 C16 ($164.99)
Storage PCIe-SSD: Sabrent Rocket 1TB NVMe Gen4 M.2 Solid State Drive ($149.98)
Power Supply: Corsair CX Series CX550M 550W ATX 2.4 Power Supply ($66.30)
Case: Phanteks Eclipse P300 ATX Mid Tower Case ($161.99)
Total: $1788.15


Any help would be muchly appreciated

That's actually a decent budget for animation workloads and the build is excellent. You should definitely look at a stronger PSU if you'd like to upgrade your GPU / CPU in the future or add in more Storage. Something like a 750W or 850W PSU from Corsair sounds like a good fit.

I don't see any issues otherwise!
