Hi, I'm new to the forum and would value advice from you folks. I am planning on building my first pc aimed at running the following (as best as possible in my budget):
Blender:
Advanced Particle systems. (Full grass fields with 1000000’s of strands using low poly grass meshes)
Cloth/Fluid Simulations
High poly meshes.
Faster Render mode in the viewport as well as faster rendering images.
Advanced PBR shaders as well as Procedural materials.
Other software:
Substance Painter
Substance Designer
3ds max
External rendering software. (Vray)
Photoshop/Corel painter (with bigger canvas and brush size but not getting lag when painting)
Illustrator
After Effects
Unity
Based on my budget (~AUD$2000, excluding monitor, keyboard, mouse etc), I have been recommended the following build and would like some advice on whether this is suitable or can it be improved (without increasing the cost):
AMD Ryzen 7 1700x
Noctua NH-U12S Multi Socket CPU Cooler
ASUS Prime X370 Pro Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance LPX CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 Black
Samsung 960 EVO NVMe M.2 250GB SSD
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 WindForce OC 6GB
Phanteks Enthoo Pro Chassis Black
EVGA SuperNOVA G2 Gold 850W Power Supply
Hitachi 2TB HGST (secondary drive)
windows 10
I do understand that I will need an excellent monitor as well, but that will be an extra cost not included in this build cost.
Any advice would be welcome.
Thanks!
Julia
