HI Alex

I am a freelancer,from Italy
My interest goes towards 3d graphics,my goal is to achieve maximum realism
of the objects, and of the scene created by inserting the appropriate lights.
From my idea, going through the whole process to get the 3d mesh and texturize it, including
the creation of the scene where to insert the meshes and render.
Also create animation
Below I list the configuration of the workstation I assembled about two months ago.
I would like to know if this configuration is correct, or if I need to change something.
And then what kind of videocard to choose, which is compatible with the functions of the most software listed.
And of course by choosing the right driver

Thanks in advance for your valuable advice

Hey Demetrio,
The Build looks great, but yes you do need a better GPU for your workloads. Looking at your List of Software, I'd suggest an Nvidia RTX 2080Ti as a best case scenario, though if your budget isn't as big you can get a 2070 Super or 2060 Super.

Hello Alex
Infact, even I was thinking about the rtx2080ti, but for the moment I can't spend much more.
I think I'll opt for 2070
thank you for your quick response, and congratulations for this forum.
