Hi there,
I am looking to build my first PC and upgrade from my 10 year old prebuilt. I am looking for a machine that can handle game development in Unreal Engine 5, 3D modeling in Blender, video editing (DaVinci Resolve) for content creation and also some light gaming (Valorant / League).
The build I currently had planned out can be found here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/f3L3Kp
EDIT: New build here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7Wphnt
I think I'm most concerned about the BIOS versioning as this is a first time build for me and it looks like the MSI Z690 Tomahawk motherboard will need a BIOS upgrade but other than that curious to get your thoughts! Additional information below.
Approximate Purchase Date: I would ideally be purchasing all these parts by next week (I understand cost may fluctuate).
Budget Range: $2500-2600 max
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Game Dev, Video Editing, Light Gaming.
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: Building from scratch, prebuilt is going in storage
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: No preference here.
Location: Georgia
Parts Preferences: I think for my purposes I'd prefer an Intel CPU and NVIDIA graphics card.
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: Currently 1920x1080. Will upgrade in future
Additional Comments: N/A
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Upgrade from prebuilt.
