Budget (including currency): max 25,000 USD, not trying to waste money, but I'll pay for quality(main concern) and performance.
Country: USA
Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 8 and 4k video rendering and editing, AutoCAD, high scale and depth virtual renders (architectural design and overlay), and quite infrequently also video games (OW2, LoL, Valorant, etc.)
Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc):
Existing parts: N/A
Peripherals: need Monitors (one at 4k and high refresh and another at 8k)
Currently using two laptops,
- ASUS ROG Zephyrus 1440p at 240hz with a 4070ti, i9-13900H, and 16gb ddr4 ram; sometimes experience inability to reach max frames in the aforementioned games or often ram peaking during renders
- Macbook Pro 3024 x 1964 120hz with Apple M3 Max chip with 16‑core CPU, 40‑core GPU, 16‑core Neural Engine and 64gb ram; got very hot at times, resolution frustrating and did significantly better in renders even though ram would peak as well
When: Within the next two weeks
Looking for help with brands and reliable manufacturers, the last thing I want is to deal with issues, and have to spend alot of time on them. I'm not going to get rid of my laptops, and would still like using them with whichever monitors I get. Been out of the PC space for a while, but I previously and still currently am more favoring air cooling (worried about spilling or damage although if it's reliable I'm not opposed to water entirely if it's recommended).
I rarely touch videogames although single core performance would be nice for the occasional times that I do, if it's a hit on multicore applications then it can be completely overlooked. As mentioned with how I want it cooled, noise is a slight issue, and preferably as quiet as it can be so that I wouldn't hear it over phone notifications or voices (don't want a jet engine). Couldn't care less about aesthetics plan on shoving it under my desk, so at any and all levels performance and reliability are my greatest concern.
I appreciate any and all replies or recommendations, or if i should post parts of this in other sections of this or other forums? i.e monitor, gpu, cpu, or certain ram or memory options. Thank you
