3D Rendering PC

Rostovne · April 18

Budget (including currency): Around 1500 USD

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Maya, Solidworks, Animation, and maybe some light 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): Building a PC for a friend who's never had one before to make their workflow for 3D work a bit less painful than waiting an entire day for renders to complete. I do need to add some peripherals but I'm not sure how I want to go about it, probably an IPS panel screen and a cheaper keyboard but at the moment I'm already running pretty close to the limit of the budget.

Changed things up feel free to pick the 13600k they are idnetical to this i7

Went norml atx

12gb 3060 as vram is far mor important for rendering usually.

Waaaaaaaaay better cooling

Also very in budget can easily get better stuff

AM5 would be better suited in an SFF build, especially the non x CPUs such as the 7500F. Also if you're spending that much for a 3060 ti spend a bit more for a 4070 and get more vram and a much better GPU for gaming

they went for a terra for case so they'll want an SFF pc. A 903 max would be a better option for atx case

Hello... I was able to switch some things around on your list and now you have a Core i7 and a RTX 4060 Ti 16GB!!! I also was able to upgrade your Storage and PSU. Building in a ITX just really makes everything difficult and much more expensive. I went with Micro-ATX. It's still pretty small and just a little bigger than the Fractal Terra Case. I fixed your RAM Speed too. All Stable and Fast RAM for Intel Socket 1700 and AMD AM5 should be 6000Mhz CL30, no more no less. The higher the CL the Slower the RAM is. I also save you a bit of money too. But all this being said please have a look and let me know what you think.

I have been building PCs for over 30 years so if you have any questions please ask. For Future Communication I use Discord for much Faster Response Times as I have it open 24/7. I am also available if you need help before, during, or after the Build Process on Discord through Text,Voice, or Video Chat. I can be with you while you build your new PC if you need me to be. Here is my Discord: Wizardsnapper#2772
