I’m a beginner (started 6 months ago) and I was thinking about a PC build for Houdini, Maya. I want to know if going with a CPU with more cores benefits Houdini simulations - does it matter as I am just starting out?
For Pyro FX, Fluids, Particle, DestructionFX, Grains, etc.,
AMD Ryzen 9 5900X is like the base CPU, I’m considering. I play games too. And, money is not a problem. But, don’t want to spend on something I won’t use/benefit at all.
I want the PC to last for a while. 3-5 years, or perhaps, even more.
PC spec, I’m thinking:
1. CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
2. GPU: ASUS TUF RTX 3090
3. RAM: 64GB (4 * 16GB 3600MHz CL18, DDR4)
I read on the internet that AMD may have plans for a new AMD Threadripper with 16 cores (waiting for CES 2021.)
Software I’m gonna use:
1. Maya Indie
2. Houdini Indie
3. Redshift (for rendering.)
4. Zbrush too (sometime later, 1-1.5 years later when I’m good enough with modelling. Heard Zbrush benefits from more cores.)
As I said earlier, can afford, but don’t want to spend on something I won’t use. I know 64GB of RAM is too much for a beginner, and I read that DDR5 is gonna be out in 2-3 years.
Should I go for AMD 5950X (when in stock) instead, or should I wait for the Threadripper 5000 series?
Or, Is AMD Ryzen 5900X fine?
