Looking to create a system in which I can freelance 3d animation in Cinema4d, as well as use the Adobe Creative Suite without much downtime/slowdown. I plan on working during the days of the weekend outside of my day job, and rendering during the night on the same system. I read that creation of content requires a powerful single core CPU, but rendering requires powerful multicore CPU. I'm not sure where the happy medium may lie.
I also plan to use this system to recreationally play pc games. I have read that quadro GPU are best for 3d/creative work, but lackluster with gaming. On the same note, something like a Nvidia 980 might be superb for gaming, but lackluster for designing/rendering. What is my best option? I've read some places that I should have 2 gpus, but I'm not sure if that was worth the money.
I'm looking to have a relatively powerful system, and I was looking at BOXX systems that were near $3000, but I don't know how efficient my money was being used. My budget is anywhere between $2000 and $3000.
I figure I'll need 2 hard drives, one SSD and one for files (even though I'm not 100% savvy on why this is necessary, something about quicker boot up/file access). And I know next to nothing about motherboard quality.
In any case, if any of you can offer advice, example builds, or any articles I should read to help inform my decision, I'd appreciate it! Thank you.
