Will this PC Satisfy my Needs?

[Sumrando]

Hello,

 

I am planning to buy a pre-built PC MSI Aegis 3 8RC (Specs listed below). I am a 3D Designer particularly using Maya the most. My current Laptop has 920M Nvidia and 8GB RAM. And it's a pain in the butt ngl. I need a PC that would satisfy my needs when it comes to working with 3D. And I also need the PC to be able to handle components that need to be retopologized (consisting of millions of verts). The current PC has a price of 1,430 EUR and that's my peak on the cost bar.

Welcome to the LTT forums!

 

On this forum, people will generally never recommend that you buy a prebuilt PC.

 

Can you build your own PC? If yes, what's your budget and location?

Hold right up.

SO-DIMM? What motherboard are they using?

That's typically laptop memory.

 

Edit: I also dislike the storage configuration they have there. 1 HDD, 1 nvme and 2 2.5" SSDs? Does "Auto switch" mean raid zero? It's just so weird

Never Asus

1.5 grand for that crappy PC? Dude, just build it yourself.

Typical marketing BS to confuse people into thinking that this product is packed with some "Super exclusive" features.
