Hi all,
I'm getting a new pc because my old laptop it's not handling my work, so I though I would go with a desktop since you get more for the same price.
The pc it's to do some personal work, I use mainly Autodesk Maya(modeling and rendering), ZBrush, Photoshop, and After Effects(compositing videos).
My budget its around 900£ give or take.(maybe until 1,000£, but still need to buy monitor)
For now I will get one monitor, but in a near future I'll be getting, at least, a second one.
This won't be my ''earn salary'' computer, so it doesn't needs to be topnotch, but I also don't want something that will be bad in 1 or 2 years time.
I plan to do some gamming as well, even if I'm not to fussed about having all the games specs in High, I would like it to handle games for some years, even if in medium/low quality. (Some games I will be playing: assasins creed, Counter Strike, Pro evolution soccer)
Said that, I have been doing some research to try get the right components to use the progams mentioned above, but I'm still very confused. (in the end I give more importance to the work than to the gaming)
What I know (or what I think I know):
-Autodesk recomends NVIDIA Quadro or AMD firepro.
-its good idea to have an SSD Hard Disk, but I reckon the one I choose below will do for now. I will buy an SSD in the future though.
-the power suply, I chose one a bit higher in case I do overclocking in the future.
-due to rendering I chose a better cooling system.
Things I'm really not sure about:
-Motherboard, I really dont have any idea if this one its the right one or not.
-Ram, is it better have a 8x1 or 4x2? Should I go for 16Gb?
-Processor: should I go for an i7 4 cores 8 threads, or this AMD with 6 cores. I think for rendering the more the cores the better.
Well, this is what I came up with:
