Hello all,
I am looking to build my fist PC for use with blender to make professional animations. Although I built a PC back in 2016, i'm not quite comfortable putting one together in in this price range though as I really want it to be good, and future proof.
I mainly want to use it for a blender animations - cycles heavy animations, complete pipeline. My current build is just really dated, and especially materials and texturing in cycles is annoying as I cant really do it realtime. I have an AMD MSI Radeon R9 390 Gaming 8G with a Intel Core i5-6500, and its really not cutting it anymore...
Looking to get into Z-brush in the future so it should run that nicely aswell.
My budget is around 3000/3500 euro (excluding tax).
I looked at this build:
CGDirector.com Parts List: https://www.cgdirector.com/pc-builder/?=6M12j
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 3.7GHz 12-Core Processor ($839.00)
CPU Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 ($89.90)
Motherboard: MSI X570 Tomahawk ATX AM4 ($307.46)
GPU: Nvidia RTX 3080 10GB - EVGA XC3 ($1489.99)
Memory: 64GB (4 x 16GB) G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4-3600 C16 ($364.99)
Storage PCIe-SSD: ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 2TB NVME M.2 Solid State Drive ($239.99)
Power Supply: Corsair RMx Series RM750x 750W Power Supply ($129.99)
Case: Phanteks Eclipse P300 ATX Mid Tower Case ($139.34)
Total: $3600.66
Now im sure its agreat PC, but is it 1) optimal for what I want to do? and 2) future proof? can add some 3080s later on? and 3) do I need better cooling if I want to expand it later on?
Im also open to cheaper builds with optimal performance. Like is it an idea to take multiple 2080s/2070s, and then upgrade to 3080s in a year or 2?
Im looking to combine it with a curved wide/ultrawide 4k.
Help is very much appreciated!!
