£800 - £1000 3D Rendering build - help

[Jamiekitsune]

Hi all,

 

Wondering if anyone can help me, I am currently planning a £800 - £1000 3D rendering build for 3DS Max and Sketchup - using Vray. 

 

This will be primarily a rendering, CAD and Adobe suit pc though being VR-ready capability would be very useful. Perhaps I should go with a Ryzen instead of a coffee lake, I know ryzens are generally geared more towards multi-core but in my personal usage with ryzen, I have been left underwhelmed. 

 

Here is my initial build idea minus RAM, it needs to look quite decent as it will be displayed and not hidden away :

Thats the main usage, though office suite and perhaps Unreal Engine 4 will be used for certain projects.

We will be utilising a couple of different higher end rendering engines to achieve photographic quality renders (Vray, Arnold etc.) so not just the base programs.
