Hi! I am a beginner looking to build a PC for visual effects in Houdini and modelling in Blender. I am going to stick to CPU rendering for now and move on to GPU rendering later on. My budget is $2500 AUD.
Here are the specs that I'm currently looking at:
Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 5900x
Motherboard: Gigabyte B550 Aorus Pro
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3000 CL-16
Storage: Adata XPG SX8200 Pro 1 TB
CPU cooler: Noctua NH-D15 chromax black
Graphics card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 Super OC
Power supply: Corsair RMx Series RM750x
Case: Cooler Master Masterbox NR600
Additional fans for case: Noctua Nf-S12B redux-1200
I am also considering the 8 core Ryzen 7 5800x over the 12 core Ryzen 5900x to cut down costs. In Australia, the 5900x is $860 AUD while the 5800x is $700 AUD. Will there be significant differences in rendering or overall performance? And if so, will it be worth the extra cost? Will a slower SSD work just fine? Do I need faster RAM speeds? I'm planning to upgrade my RAM, GPU, and storage later on. Please tell me if there are potential incompatibilities. I am open to any feedback or suggestions. Thanks in advance!
