Hi everyone, I'm going to purchase pieces for a new PC, aimed for work, 3D modeling in Autodesk Maya, maybe Blender and ZBrush too (learning both right now), some video editing in After Effects, and Illustrator & Photoshop.

The list is this for the momento, I need some opinions and recommendations:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600
MB: Gigabyte AB350M-D3H
GPU: 1030 (temporary, just for emergency)
Storage: Kingston SA400 240GB
Memory: 16GB (2x8) Corsair Vengeance LED 3000MHz
PSU: Corsair TX650M
Case: Thermaltake Versa C22

I live in Mexico and this is costing me $921.57 USD here (but in MXN), so be nice when changing anything haha. Just remember I'll be upgrading it, that Ryzen 5 1600 will be changed in a couple months, and the GPU too. Also, I'll add another storage and add more RAM, but slowly.

AND I'd like to know if any Quadro/FirePro is a good option for the future. Thank you all!

When it comes to rendering, which render u use matters a lot. Some perform better with Radeon cards and some with Nvidia. The new ones even support multi gpu setup. Some are cpu dependent. And no, firepro, Quadro are not worth it.

Ur work tasks is will be cpu dependent mostly, so a 2700X with X470 or 8700k with z370 is recommended.

Start with 2x8gb and go for 32gb later. 3000mhz rams is the sweetspot. Overclock it as much as you can, but test for stability or it may BSOD during rendering.

For a cheaper gpu, u can consider the R9 390 8gb if it's available.
