PC Build for 3D Rendering

[Txb4]

Hi guys! I need some help/advice on what CPU and motherboard I should go for. I am currently a student studying Games art and I require a computer that will perform well in the rendering and computing criteria.

I'm not too fussed about the computer GPU because Unreal engine and other engines cater to that very well. I will be  using programs such as Zbrush, 3dsmax ,and Substance painter. These programs eat up so

much memory and CPU on my current PC.

 

I would like some help on what CPU, RAM, and motherboard combination I should get for best performance. I was considering picking the parts and getting someone/ company to build it for me.

I really have no idea where to start and any response would be really appreciated.

 

My budget is  £ 700 or $1000

For these tasks you will need to go to the X99 side, something like i7-6800K / i7-5820K on a reputable brand X99 mobo (I don't know much about X99 mobos) and 32GB of quad channel RAM will be fine and under $1000 for these 3

Your budget is 1000$ for the whole build or only for the CPU, mobo and RAM?

The budget is 1000 for the whole build! What would be the best none Xeon option for CPU? I think 16 gb ram is good enough. I only have 4gb at the moment
