Good day everyone!

Goal: I need help choosing parts for a computer that can handle mid 3d/ rendering, modeling and possibly animation workflows.

Programs: Maya, blender, cinema 4d, zbrush, After effects, premiere pro, photoshop, indesign and illustrator

Price tag: 1000-1500

Clues to specs: I think I will need an i7 processor, certainly at least 16gb of ram but im hoping to upgrade to 32 in he future. an SSD card as well as a 1tb HDD (One for applications and other for data). And..... thats all i know lol

Also I would like to know if any of these things can be upgraded in the future.

Thank you everyone

Latest i7 processor on a board that will allow minor overclocking if you decide to
16 gig of RAM . More can be added later if needed
The fastest available M.2 SSD . Install and run from that . Output renders to the hard disk .
Micro ATX case so it has a smaller foot print .
Very high quality modular gold rated psu so no clutter in the case
Windows ten included
A blu ray reader included. You might want a bluray writer , and possible a standard DVD drive instead .
The GTX 960 will be slower than a professional graphics card like a quaddro , but for the budget its a decent choice
