Building a new PC

[gobler]

Well after a lengthy reading on numerous parts, I went to Microcenter with a build. They price matched everything they could and saved me $400.
here is the build.

I have it now.. I can run pretty much everything. I tested GTA V and am getting 200ish fps.. waayyy better than the 30 fps the Ps5 was giving me. Lol

GTAV ? Run something newer and crank the settings and let that thing stretch its legs. Space Marine II is nice looking game and pretty fun too if you want something just released.

awesome you have it up and running. Enjoy.

Personally I think you should have gone with a better CPU like a 24 core Intel i9 and 128 GB ram. 3D renderers are real memory hogs and "buy once, cry once".

Some of these 3D applications aren't multithreaded. Blender is but others are not. Autodesk software is notorious for wanting high speed and not using more than a couple cores. Agree on the RAM. All our workstations are 128gig minimum with 256 being our new standard but then we run a handfull of apps at one time so the extra ram and multiple cores helps with that.
