Budget (including currency): below 700 usd

Country: Turkey but doesnt matter i know the us market and gave the budget according to that so actually USA it is

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Cinema4D and Allplan both 2021 No gaming at all like only these 2 programs are important. Sometimes autocad too.

Other details : im on a 1080p monitor, i just need a pc no keyboard or monitor. I DONT need a ssd or hdd im going to be using my older ones. I want at least 8 cores and 16 threads, more would be welcome and at least 16 gbs of ram. I heavily rely on cpu, about gpu i was thinking about cheap quadros but any suggestions are welcome too. Budget is at most 700 us dollars not much i know. Oh and it would be really good if motherboard had wifi and bluetooth. Another important thing is i want it to be as silent as possible. Thank you already.

I would save your money. Basically nothing is in stock right now for any market, and $700 dollars for a 8c/16t CPU, a good cooler (so it’s silent) and a mobo with Bluetooth and wifi? It could be done but there would be a lot of sacrifices. Unless your willing to cut major corners on your PSU, RAM, and CPU Cooler, this prob can’t be done well.

what do you think about this, is it sacrificing too much? I found better deals in turkey such as 210 dollars for 2700x and 125 dollars for that mb. So its closer to 700 dollars. And i decided im going to use my older case just to save some money

Bad PSU, CPU is overpriced, Mobo isn’t great. And the stock cooler will run loud.

Could get much better peformance\value in this price range than what was offered.

In my opinion you can cheap out a bit and go for good locked i7 with budget B460. You would be limited to 3000MHZ but thats fine for intel cpus.

no need for fancy cases. N200 comes with great airflow and two fans for really cheap.

Corsair CV line up will be more than enough for this build.

32 gigs of ram is crucial imo to heavy editing.

Think he’s going to need a budget Quadro or Workstation card for the work he’s doing...

Also a 3700x would be cheaper.

Yeah 3700x would be really great but i found a 209$ 2700x in my country thats why i added. Do you think is it great value for 209 dollars or should i try to find 3700x

Hey,

I didn't offer you a mini ITX. Its a Micro ATX which is the same for your uses. the motherboard PCB is a bit shorter.

parts list I offered would be great for you! Though I highly recommend as suggested to find a used quadro gpu.

 

any further questions or thoughts?

I would go with a Fractal Design Focus G other than the Q300. The Focus G has much better airlow.
