New PC Build for CGI and 3D/CAD

The real slim Shader · February 25, 2022

First of all, hello everyone. It's great to write here on LTT Forum.

Budget (1400€):

Country: Italy

Used for:I will use the PC for 3D graphics and rendering, BIM and CAD / CAM, software use like Rhinoceros, AutoCAD, Revit, Blender

Other details:

Part list:

12700k

MSI MAG Z690 Tomahawk WIFI DDR4 (a bit expensive but I would like to overclock in the future)

Seasonic FOCUS GX-850 Gold

Kingston FURY Beast RGB 32GB 3600 DDR4 (CL18)

Crucial P5 Plus PCIe 4.0 1TB

ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 360 A-RGB (it seems that it is more reliable than competition)

MetallicGear Neo Qube

ARCTIC P12 PWM PST A-RGB (3x120mm) X2 (1 kit for side and 1 for bottom)

I have a Q6600 since 2007 with 8GB RAM, refreshed in 2015 with an SSD and a GTX 750 Ti,

I will buy the components from Amazon that guarantees me to avoid customs and extra VAT,

I am not particularly interested in gaming (although I love video games)

The reason why there is no GPU in the list is that at the moment I can't / want to spend money on the shortage of GPU in the market. I think it is better to bet on a fast CPU and temporarily use the 750ti (please do not laugh ). In the future, maybe find a powerful average RTX to switch to the GPU rendering.

Do you think it's the case to change the mobo as suggested by Igor'Lab and add the washers to avoid bending the CPU?

I am open to any advice or suggestion.

thank you all for your attention
