As an architecture student, I’m looking to build a PC for 3D Modelling, Revit and Rendering. As a student, I have limited access to a PC that is powerful enough to render efficiently. Below I have an example PC Build that does what I need it to, however, I would like to do minimise costs to around $1500 AUD. Is it possible to do so and still achieve a great, powerful machine?
Software being used it VRAY, RHINOCEROS and REVIT. System requirements are below.
INTEL® CORE™ i7-8700K PROCESSOR 12M Cache 6C/12T 3.7/4.7GHZ 95 TDP ($549)
