Below I have listed my current build for a tower that will be used primarily for 3D modeling, animating and rendering student films in Blender and Maya. My absolute maximum budget is $1000.
I have already bought the case, which is why it's listed as $0.00
My primary questions are:
Is it better to have 8GB of faster system RAM, or 16GB of slower RAM, if i wan't to keep my RAM budget to around 50USD?
How much of a performance boost in Blender/Maya renders do I get with RTX 2060 versus a RX Vega 56?
Is it better to have 8GB of HBM2 VRAM (Vega56) or 6GB of GDDR6 VRAM (RTX2060)?
Is it a better value to have a mobo with built-in wifi, over a non-wifi board with a network card?
