I am wanting to build and PC for mainly 3D modelling, with Cinema 4D (I will also be using the Adobe Suite). I will be using a 1080p Monitor and looking to spend less the $2000 NZD for the whole rig. 

I have asked many people about what the best parts are, but I have hit a snag in choosing. One group has said for modelling, the GPU is the most important part, others have said get a really cheap GPU or even no GPU and spend that money on a really good CPU. Which has me really confused. 

 

Help... Please
