Is this a good computer build for motion graphics (After Effects) ? Would it work well with Maya?

[Emily B]

Hello! This is my first PC and I want to make sure I am purchasing the right thing for what I need to do. I want a computer that isn't going to be slow working with 4k footage, a lot of layers, and effects in the adobe programs (after effects mostly) . I also want to start working with Maya and learn 3D animations, so would it work with that as well ? Thanks!

Yes, that build will work well for Motion Design workloads and Maya. The GPU in that build is quite price inflated though, so keep an eye out if you can find it for a lower price somewhere.
