New PC Build for Modeling, Animation in C4D, Arnold, Video Editing in After Effects Premiere

[Zanner]

Hi, I need assistance.
I'm a generalist. Model and animate in C4d, render using Arnold/redshift.

Do video editing in AfterEffects/premier pro and use nuke for compositing.

I need advice on a base build that I can gradually build upon to improve performance. Currently on a project for compositing, rotoscoping and motion graphics work. But have CGI based VFX project next. I have a budget of $1500 for now.

Thank you for your help.

All those workloads have similar requirements. The GPU rendering in redshift of course needs more stronger GPUs, and arnold CPU would need a high core count CPU, but apart from that the parts are very similar. Depends on which areas of your work you'd like to boost the most.
