Set designer building first computer

Budget (including currency): $900 USD

Country: USA (Utah)

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Vectorworks, Blender, Unity, various games

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): I’ve been using a MacBook Pro for the last 10 years, but am (finally) making the jump to Windows. I’m planning on getting a new laptop next year (looking at the new XPS 17) but would like to get a desktop to play games and do 3D modeling during the pandemic. I’d like to have a platform with a decent upgrade path (I’ve been looking at the X570 platform).

 

Thanks!!

Thanks! I do have a monitor. It looks like there is a notice about The motherboard having an additional 4-pin atx power connector but the power supply does not. Should I be worried about that? Or is it not an issue?

Not usually an issue. The extra power is generally only required by extreme overclockers.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
