Hey All, Very impressive community here.
I’m in the process of building my first PC. I’m a Graphic Designer/3D Animator looking to get some approval/general advice if the build list I’ve put together will be adequate for my needs.
I am not an expert on hardware. My area of expertise is limited to the software side. I have a loaded HP Z820 workstation where I work and I know I can’t come close to matching those specs with my budget – I just want to be able to navigate through my programs with decent viewport speed. Quick rendering and the ability to play games at decent settings is a bonus. After reading through the forums, I have decided against workstation specific graphics cards due mostly to cost.
Primary usage:
Adobe CS6 [CC soon] - specifically After Effects, Photoshop & Illustrator
Cinema 4D [Faster viewport speeds takes priority over fast rendering]
Secondary usage:
Gaming! I don’t need top-of-the-line performance but squeezing out all the quality I can in my budget would be great.
Maya & Nuke [Don’t have these currently but may purchase in the near future]
Here’s my specs so far. Thoughts? Please let me know if I’ve left out any relevant info. Any feedback is GREATLY APPRECIATED!
Budget: Roughly $2,000 [including at least one monitor]
