Seeking a Build Suggession

[Sazzad]

Budget (including currency): US$1700

Country: Bangladesh

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Workloads (After Effects and Renderings)

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): Gonna get a completely fresh and new. I have no parts.

I have absolutely no idea what prices are like in Bangladesh.  The problem is the machine is towards the higher end of consumer, and both intel and AMD make CPUs that will work fine.  Their prices vary a lot though and which is cheaper for what becomes variable.  Adobe in general prefers many core intel or 5000 series AMD, but other cpus can do in a pinch.  It all depends on how pricing is. Amount of Memory needed will vary by the size of the files being manipulated, so anything from 16gb-128gb is very doable on consumer grade hardware.  At 128gb memory starts to be a major expense.  The next step up is 1tb, and that’s way way out of budget.

Acually my budhet is around US$2100, but the price of components are overpriced here, so I wrote US$1700.

With no ability to tell what relative prices are or what is even available,  no ability to tell what software will be used, and no ability to tell what sized files will be manipulated it becomes really difficult to say what your beat move is.  All I can give are generalities.

What you would recommend for After effect? 

IS 1660 super ok with R9 5900X for after effect with 64gb RAM?

As part of the ACS that sounds like the right cpu.  I can’t speak to memory or gpu though. All the Adobe stuff also has to run on Mac which doesn’t use Nvidia at all so it’s generally not limited to CUDA.  What’s weird is aftereffects is rarely used by itself.  It’s mostly an animation compositor.  it’s even more specific than blender.  Is the goal here to do a specific thing or to learn how to use the app?

I use this for my professiona purpose. I know the software well. But don't know how the system works and their algorithms. As far as I understand, it mostly uses RAM and CPU.

You may get acceleration from a large gpu. Sometimes programs can use them for compute on big renders.  My memory is the 1660 doesn’t do that particularly well though.
