Animation/ 3D Workstation PC Build

[johnstorm17]

Hi guys, I'm planning to build a Animation / 3D Modeling/Rendering Workstation and a bit of gaming .What CPU, Motherboard and GPU should I go with? 

Mostly my work focuses on Apps like Toonboom, Paint Tool SAI, 3DS Max, Autodesk Maya, Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. If you guys can help me out, I'd appreciate it.

A budget would be helpful.

Is this for work and do you have a budget?

I live in the Philippines and my budget would be in the range of $1500 range converted from my native currency.

yes this build is mainly for work. Animation and 3D Work

So from personal experience with Maya you'll want at least 64GB DDR4 and an SSD.

Some of the features in those programs don't utilise the GPU so instead of just focussing the money solely on GPU balance the spend on CPU and GPU.
