new build for vfx

[nourseeeee]

Hi!

I need to buy a new pc for my vfx works. I need something that would perform well on both pre-calculated and real-time rendering. I've made an automatic build with the cg director tool but would love to know if anything could be optimized or if any component could be replaced by an equivalent that would reduce a bit the overall bill. I definitively need the 128 GB of ram and would love to keep the 32-core processor.

Thanks!!

You could get a cheaper Motherboard such as the Gigabyte TRX40 Aorus Pro WIFI which should be around 400$ and maybe a cheaper case, but with the CPU and RAM you've already got the most expensive components locked in. I wouldn't recommend getting a lower-end GPU as VFX Software does make good use of CUDA or other types of GPU acceleration at times.
