Hey guys.

I’m here to ask you a pleasure. I’m looking for building a pc. Main purpose will be for use Unreal Engine 4 and Blender (or other 3D software), I also use a little bit of Photoshop. And why not, for gaming too! I need a pc for Amatour/Student necessity. The budget it’s around 2000/2200$.

Can someone help me?

For your uses I would go more with an Intel X299 build than a Ryzen build. Main reason is that you would get far more RAM options than you would with Ryzen which will make working with large files a lot easier. You also have a ton more CPU options at your disposal and you can go up from 8 cores - as high as 10, 12, and even 16 if you upgrade to the i9. I would not suggest a professional GPU though (Quaddro / FirePro) and instead go with a higher end consumer GPU for quick redraws when rendering.

Ok, Ryzen 2 Gen will sold from tomorrow. Can you help me with a build? Maybe with Ryzen 2700X?

I'm looking for an elegant/quality/minimal pc. No colors needed in particular. what do you think to switch 512 SSD and 2 TB HDD to 1TB SSD? Why did you opt for 4x 8GB of ram and not 2x 16GB? btw, thank you so much

thats fine as well i did that to give you a fast boot drive and put all your large content on the 2tb but either way is 100% fine, and yes thats probably the better choice since you are able to upgrade to 64gb later down the road if need be, if you want to look at some cases and give me an idea of what you might like or some builds of how you would like yours to look

1. X299 is a quad channel setup and you will get the most out of it if you run your RAM in 4 x 8GB as opposed to 2 x 16GB. If you want more RAM get 4 x 16GB or 8 x 16GB but *ALWAYS* buy matched sets if you do.

2. 550W should be plenty since the 10 series graphics cards don't use that much power. You could always get the 650W model of that PSU to be on the safe side. But anything over that for a single card setup is overkill.
