AMD vs Intel for 3D modeling (ZBRUSH), and some gaming Build.

Cedric_6 · Jun 7, 2016

Well its that time again to build a new system, since its the 3 year mark for a new one. I am building from the ground up for a faster system. Since my last build I have taken up 3D modeling and using Zbrush, which is CPU intensive program along with substance painter, and Blender as well. My last build was with a AMD Vishera FX-8320 8-core overclocked to 4.0ghz stable paired with 16gb DDr3 and a Raedon R-290x. I was dissappointed with it as it crashed all the time with subdivisions in it. It handled games Great! Below is what I have assembled, be mindful though the GPU is just a placeholder as I'm waiting for the GTX 1070's to release. Yu can add or subtract something for better parts.

Any thoughts?

1. Changed cooler to Hyper 212X Dual Fan (Better than 212 EVO)
2. Changed RAM to two sticks of 16GB. (Wasting power by using four)
3. Added a Case
4. Changed video card to Radeon RX 480 (Release date: June 29)
5. Went with 650W power supply instead of 750W (GTX 1070 or RX 480 are not power hogs)
