[SOLVED] Build Request: VFX Workstation £2000 Budget

[MrHudson]

Good day everyone,

I've come seeking advice on what components to purchase as I need a workstation that can handle VFX work.

Below I have the information you may need to assist me with this venture.


Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: 1-2 Weeks

Budget Range:£2000-£2250

System Usage from Most to Least Important: This needs to be able to handle software such as Cinema 4D, Blender, After Effects (VFX based Software)

Are you buying a monitor: No

Do you need to buy OS: Yes

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: https://pcpartpicker.com

Location: Surrey, England

Parts Preferences: AMD processor

Overclocking: Im not sure, happy to listen to advice on the subject

SLI or Crossfire: Again, Im not sure, happy to listen to advice on the subject

Your Monitor Resolution: Will be purchasing a 4K monitor

Additional Comments: I really don't care about flashing lights or being able to see inside. Im all about practicality

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I need to be able to practice my profession at home in my spare time so i need a computer that can handle that.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions!
