PC build - need tips

[B0ULDER]

Hello, I am building a computer to use for my gaming along with my school work as an architect student. The programs I will be running will be steam of course for gaming but for work I will be running, revit, rhino, adobe suite, lumion, 3ds max, enscape, and indesign. I recently have compiled a list of parts I would like to use and I need any tips if what I have chosen is good or if I can choose any better parts. I want to make sure Im getting the best PC for the large amount of money I am spending. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Its a solid build, but yes, that is a lot of money. If you have the money to burn, sure... It will perform very well.

 

But the ultimate questions is do you really need to go that big? You can build a PC that will do that work and game ~80% as well for half the price.

You don't have to spend this much money, and if you do want to overspend, at least wait for new hardware, it's right around the corner...

One killer build you have planned, if you want to wait a little, new hardware isn't far off such as the 3080ti, you don't need that powerful hardware and unfortunately with computers the more you spend doesn't mean the long the PC lives, it would still be a decent build in 4-5 years but new hardware, possibility budget hardware would be near it's level, I'd save a few and downgrade a little and wait for the 3000 series cards, the 2000 series is horrible price to performance, if you'd go amd their 5700xt in in the range of an rtx 2070 minus Ray tracing but at a much lower cost, amd also has new cards soon

 

So if you have huge amounts of money, go for it, but because your a student I doubt that and I'd definitely look at chopping 1k of that and spend your money elsewhere, you gain little for lots more money and will want to upgrade after 3-4 maybe 5 years, it would still be a useable machine just way behind hardware.

Wait for the new hardware.
Also, you already asked this.

How long would you say until new hardware comes out? Im in no rush currently but I will have a deadline before I need the computer. Also outside of the new graphics cards, will their be any other new hardware? Thanks!

This website updates all the time about news on new hardware, there is a lot to come this year by September like zen 3 CPUs

 

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/future-hardware-releases/

 

New hardware is always being developed and sold, so don't worry about waiting for something new if you need something asap because brand new hardware doesn't stay for long before something new is out, most of the time it's rebrands or a tweaked version but something bigger like zen 3 will take longer, if you do wait for zen 3, you'll need to flash your bios unless you buy a new board that supports it out of the box, if you have x470/570 b450/550 you'll need a first or second gen chip to flash the new bios, waiting for zen 3, also don't buy into SSD speeds increasing performance, many people have found sata SSD to be the smoothest but paying additional funds for a "gaming" SSD or something is just marketing, you will not be able to tell the difference, which is the same for most hardware with anything labeled gaming or performance

I can wait all the way until the start of second semester -all my architecture stuff is hand work until then- before I need this computer so waiting until September really isn't a big deal. So the new gpu and cpu both should come out around September? and will prices be around the same? Im willing to wait because if im gonna spend this much Id rather get the best I can and if waiting will get me that I will.

Yeah around then some new hardware is releasing, there is supposed to be price cuts on the new 3080ti or so I've heard but I wouldn't expect anything drastic, if you don't mind waiting just go for it, if it turns out you need the lc sooner you could look at buying a budget/mid range card used like a 1060 or 5500 and upgrade to the 3080 to when it releases, the Rx 5500 is cheap and performs pretty well but I wouldn't expect a lot from it with your workloads
