Hey!

So this will be my first PC build which should be a little bit of an allrounder.

I work in post production and coordinate a lot of projects. From time to time I need to render video (DaVinci Resolve) files or do small touch ups (AE).

In my free time I like to work with blender so I'd prefer Nvidia graphics.

I spent a lot of time, using the custom pc builder tool and pcpartpicker.

So my budget will be around 1500€ and this is what I came up with.

- AMD Ryzen 7 7700X 4.5 GHz 8-Core Processor
- be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 50.5 CFM CPU Cooler
- MSI PRO B650-P WIFI ATX AM5 Motherboard
- G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6400 CL32 Memory
- Seagate Barracuda Compute 2 TB 3.5" 7200 RPM Internal Hard Drive
- Crucial P5 Plus 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive
- ASUS TUF GeForce RTX 3070 TI V2 OC Edition 8GB
- Phanteks Enthoo Pro ATX Full Tower Case
- Corsair RM750e (2023) 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

I'm not sure if I'm with the storage sizes yet, so these might change, I would stay with the same product though.

It would be great to know if I missed something or would run into problems along the way.

Thank you very much for your help in advance!

Edit: I won't be rendering master files or 8K Raw footage for example, it would mostly be previews and screeners for festivals and so on.

Swap out the cooler to something more budget-friendly like a Thermalright Peerless Assassin, as you'll get similar performance. Other than that, looks great to me :)

PS. Make sure you NEED that full tower case. They're quite large, and if you're not running multiple GPUs, pick something more compact from our recommendations here: https://www.cgdirector.com/best-smallest-atx-cases/
The Corsair, Phanteks, and LianLi options are my personal favorites.
