Hello people,

I am new here on this forum(second post) so i hope i get some great responses from you guys. Please read the message completely so that you get an idea of what exactly i need. Thank you.

1. What I need : A 3d rendering system for architectural and BIM projects.

2. Software I will be using : Autodesk 3ds Max with Corona Renderer (CPU based), Autodesk Revit, Navisworks, Autocad, Adobe Ps and Ai. There maybe some other minor ones but these are used daily.

3. Budget and Time : $3500-$4000 and I would want to buy it by January end.

4. What i am looking for :
- A very powerful CPU since my render engine is CPU based.(AMD threadripper maybe? idk or a higher core xeon)
- I am not sure if i have any use case for a good GPU. A mediocre one might be good enough.
- Non RGB components are preferred.
- Should I watercool my CPU? How much of a performance bump in terms of render time will it be if i go for it.(include watercooling compoents in the budget if you do)
- I wouldnt want to see money wasted in a gaming case, 144hz monitor, gaming keyboard/mouse or any other stuff thats not needed but i do need these components so recommend something thats not overkill. This pc is for WORK ONLY.
- Currently one of my problem is slow boots and software load times. So feel free to recommend high speed NVMes or SSDs.
- Also, dont include any software prices since this budget is for hardware only.

I would want to hear a logical reasoning behind your selection (especially CPU) if you can. It will help me get a clearer idea about your choice. Thank you

I am from India. I want to ask one thing, do you have experience in 3d software? Would it run smoothly on integrated graphic? and as for monitor any regular one is fine : IPS, 21" 1080p
