The values in PCPartpicker is not important, as I am based in Denmark and will buy the items here.

 

Am I completely off the mark with my setup or will this perform decent to good?

 

Thanks for your time and help

 

Kind regards,

 

Jesper

get 2nd gen ryzen, not 1st, I don't know how you render, but probably you will benefit from CUDA to render, so go nvidia

I think it's good. I would never get an MSI ARMOR as a GPU since the ARMOR has terrible cooling (and looks ugly af). Other than that it's good.

I was looking at it, but the budget is killing on this part  Will have a look at NVIDIA. Got a suggestion in equal price range?

Cheers for the heads up on cooling. Looks like I should go NVIDIA instead for the CUDA (will be in Premiere Pro).

i know denmark is a bit more expensive... but it shouldn't be that much more
