New PC build recommendation

[Sketch90]

Hello everyone!

 

I'm helping my friend with his first build and while this is not my first time building a new PC, there's just so much options out there that it is quite overwhelming.

 

Budget & location:

Singapore

2500SGD / 1900USD

 

Aim:

Mainly design work utilizing 3D cadding and rendering softwares (Rhinoceros, Keyshot, Blender etc), Adobe suite, Office

Some light gaming, mainly Minecraft.

 

Monitors:

Will be using his current Samsung 4k 32" monitor.

 

Peripherals:

Only OS needed.

 

Additional requirements:

Onboard Wi-Fi

Prefers ITX form factor - I have personally recommended the CM NR200 but open to other recommendations.

 

He has no plans to consistently upgrade his components hence the recommended specs should last at least 5 years.

No need for RGB lighting.

 

Thank you!

You can spend a bit more on mobo, since asrock doesn’t give more than 1 year of warranty (that’s what I heard). Also get the Corsair vengeance ram lpx since it has cl16 instead of 18. Ik a bit nit picky but I’m just trying to help

Honestly if OP is only going to use this mainly for CAD and Adobe, id rather go for 13700K-3050 combo. Itll be cheaper and better performance outside of render scenario. And also bump to 64 gigabytes to settle the RAM issue if OP's work is model count heavy.

Thanks for the recommendations!

 

There's still quite a bit of budget left - I'm thinking to maybe get a better GPU for quicker Keyshot renders.

 

If anyone has an alternative build that gets close to the budget, please do tell!

Hope to get more recommendations closer to the budget!
