INTERIOR DESIGN RENDERING PC (HIGH END)

[ColeFemo]

Let me begin by saying I know new GPUs are releasing soon and I have tried to convince my sister to wait for new releases, but she isn't willing to.

 

Budget (including currency): 2000-2500 USD

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: This PC will be used for interior design rendering programs and occasional gaming. 

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): 

No other parts needed. Focus for this budget is the PC itself. Black case preferred.

 

I've made a PCPartpicker list which can be found here: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/TheFemoDemo/saved/Lr2mrH

 

Suggestions appreciated!!!!!

suggestion: check the requirements for the software she's using.

Honestly pretty much everything is spot on but just get a corsair psu. A Rm850X is like 170$ and 15x more reliable. Also you know that you can get windows licenses on ebay for 5£

Please try and convince her to just wait 2 more weeks or there about for the new GPUs.

Also, which programs is she using?

I've tried many times to convince her, she refuses to wait. If I don't help her now she's just going to buy a prebuilt.

 

She is using a program called Revit, but will most likely end up using many different programs.

Well, we're kind of shooting in the dark without knowing what exact programs she's using, but if we're to keep the 3900X, 32GB of RAM and 2080 Super, here's what I'd recommend:

I'm not sure whether Revit is more single-core or multi-core focused, regarding the CPU, but regarding the GPU, as with most of the Autodesk suite I would imagine that it prefers Quadro cards. Do note that Quadros offer much lower performance per $ when it comes to gaming, so keep that in mind.

My only concern with Quadro is the price point. Paying $1800 for a Quadro RTX 5000 puts us way over budget. I am struggling to decide whether to go with the 2080 Super or the Quadro RTX 4000.

Yeah those "recommendations" are very vague and not all that useful. Either way, the 3900X is a solid productivity chip and even if Revit wasn't very multi-core heavy, it still offers good enough single-core performance compared to its Intel counterpart that you wouldn't really be losing out on much.
