help check this spec please! - Vfx and Motion graphics work

[NoFace]

Hello! Ive got another thread but have since updated my specs from them after going through some more information. I wanted to make sure that I'm not cutting any corners, however that the build is balanced and nothing is overpowered or falls short where it doesn't need to be. my budget is 2500 at the highest.
This is to be used primarily for VFX and motion graphics work, using mainly Cinema 4D redshift, premier pro and after affects, Nuke, Blender, Unreal Engine and Houdini. I am hopping for this to carry me through the last few years of uni and into industry. Any advice would be appreciated!

Hi no worries, I've deleted the other thread so there's only one live.

Hiya, it’s very good overall, there’s a couple of areas that could do with an adjustment.

What was your reasoning for that specific case? It’s not ideal for this level of build, if it was purely aesthetical we can find something more suitable, if it’s for the quietness, that limits options.

I'd say the case, PSU and cooler are under-specced, especially if you're expecting to run it flat out for hours rendering something.

I can't upgrade those components without breaking your £2500 budget...unless I swap out the workstation spec A4000 (with its 6000 CUDA cores) for the desktop RTX5070Ti (with it's 9000 CUDA cores)...
