[esekai47]

I'm new here. I'm building my first pc and i want it to be an absolute powerhouse that i won't have to worry about for quite awhile. I'm looking to do animation with blender and cinema4d, graphic design with photoshop, video editing, run Midjourney, clo3d and marvelous designer, plus occasional gaming. I want a build that will have no issues running and rendering stuff. i'm not sure if this is a good set up, or if i can accomplish the same for cheaper? i'm for sure gonna go with the 4090 but not sure about anything else. I used the pc build generator for this bc i'm an absolute noob. Help plz. thanks<3

Only thing I'd change would be the CPU cooler. For a Core i9 13900K, go with a good 360mm AIO cooler like the Arctic Freezer, MPG Coreliquid, Corsair H115, etc.

You can dial back the CPU to a Core i7-13700K without missing out on too much performance if you're not doing anything CPU-intensive. If you are doing anything very CPU-intensive like particle/fluid simulations or CPU rendering, I'd recommend the AMD route instead.
