1100 USD build.

[Cody GFX]

Anyone suggests me a good workstation build that supports a bit of gaming as well. I mostly do 3D modelling with 3Ds Max. Preferably Intel cpu, I'm unsure to switch over to AMD Ryzen as I've always been using Intel for many years and they have served me well.

Budget : 1100 usd
Excluding GPU, already bought a GTX 1060 a while ago.

Help a fellow student here. Thanks in advanced for the suggestions.

Not to be mean but are you buying this computer in the USA? Or elsewhere? If we build you a $1100 build and then you go look for it in different country it'll never come out to $1100. Which country?

I'm aware of the difference in prices but I'd love to see what kind of build I can get with $1100 in the USA. I'm from Malaysia and some components here are a bit more expensive.

Would be how I'd spend $1100

If you're interested in going with Ryzen I'd do a 1600X.

Kind of a tossup. In video editing and rendering 3d objects I think the 1070 in m first build make make up for the extra ram and better CPU. Those other two builds aren't any better than my first and done have a GPU upgrade.

My best suggestion might be build this build without the high end SSD (go back to my original one) sell your 1060 and buy a 1070. Should stay within budget and be a monster
