New PC build (Streaming, Adobe Cloud, Autodesk)

[Knaeckebrot]

Hello there!

A friend of mine needs a new PC, or rather her very first PC ever. (Eruope, Germany, €)

Budget: Around 1000 € (Pc), Around 200 € (Monitor) = Around 1200 €

 

It should primary run work/render programs like Autodesk® Maya® 2018, Adobe Cloud (Photoshop et cetera), Blender without problems.
She'd also like to stream her console gaming (Twitch). She wouldn't really game on the PC itself! Maybe a bit Fortnite here or PUBG there.

 

She is not a techphile, so overclocking is out of question. A fast and big SSD would be great together with a HDD for archive stuff.

She also needs a WLAN card or a WLAN capable Motherboard. No CD/DVD drive is needed.

 

I would assume Ryzen is the way to go here. Also maybe 16 GB DDR4 RAM at first and later 16 GB more or allout 32 GB from the beginning?

Not a total expert of those Adobe and Autodesk programs.

 

Monitor around 27''. No 4k, but maybe 1440p?

If you need more information to answer this, please tell me.

Thank you very much!

Im not a pro but
yeah a ryzen should be fine, i would recomend going for the 1st gen since there is not a lot of difference (yet) and can save a little bit on that, there are some cheap wlan cards for motherboards tho i dont understand why you would need a wlan, 16 ram might be a little tight, depending on how heavy are going to be the projects on Maya/adobe/blender, aswell the gpu will depend on what will be the main purpose, working on those programs, or streaming,

 

cause if its mainly for gaming while being able to work on those programs, a 1060-1080 (depending on how much budget you have left) might do the trick, but if its the other way around, perhaps it will be better to consider other type of gpu (dunno if quadro will be de best),

something to consider would be the cooling system within this build, a good fan should be enough (dunno about which one)

for the beginning ill search for a motherboard with 4 ram slots, and use 8x2 so you start with 16ram and let you get more as needed instead of searching for a whole new set, for motherboards since you are considering ryzen, you have a wide range of options since they use the same socket, i would invest in a good one in case you want to upgrade the cpu later,

This should do the job well. 1st gen Ryzen is still great and you won't really notice the difference between 1st gen and 2nd gen ryzen for now.

thats kind of what i have right now, just that i went a little extreme with the gpu (1080ti) but it was cheaper back then, but this build should give you no problems,

I would make adjustments here, a more airflow suited case for an R7 1700x and a more recent PSU.

I never thought of that. Thanks!

No problem! Especially with rendering stations (being the owner of one for work) running a render than can take multiple hours is bad enough, but having a system thermal throttle is just that much worse! Everything else was solid though.

Alright, looking good. Figured it would be Ryzen 7 1700X.

Thank you so far.
