Help building a unit for rendering

Onardonardo · Mar 28, 2017

I need help in building a new rig.

I do a lot of 3D and heavy fluid, particle simulations. Its just the unit, I already have a monitor and other peripherals.

My budget is around 1600$, I am allocating more budget in my CPU than my GPU, maybe a 5:3 ratio and a 32gb ram, 256gb SSD, 2tb HDD.

I hope ya'll can help me. Thanks!

If you require 32 GBs of ram, then I'd suggest waiting until ryzen fully supports 32GBs of ram, as this will give the best bang for your buck.

Yeah I agree with NateTech (although I did not know Ryzen was having issues with ram support). Any of the Ryzen 8 core chips are superb value for what you'll be doing.

Yea, unfortunately Ryzen has not been listed as officially supporting 32 GBs of RAM, but this is bound to change soon as companies have been found trying to push out 32GB kits that are ryzen compatible.

Can my budget get me to Ryzen 7? I've heard good reviews about it, being better and way cheaper than intel's releases.

Also what GPU should I get? Adobe after effects has a rendering feature that only certain video cards can handle.

Here's the list of GPU.

Yes you could easily get a ryzen 7, my only concern being that 32 GBs of RAM is not officially supported yet (but will be very soon), which you listed as a necessity. I'd wait it out just a bit and get ryzen 7 which would leave you A LOT of money for a great graphics card.
