design rendering build

[Bradley_damnit]

Debating on this build, really hitting the budget to the point of a very budget friendly GPU would be great. if anyone knows of a decent one, focused towards more graphics design and light gaming. see any flaws or any ways i can cheapen it up but keep the power. please tell! https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pv8W7h

What programs do you use for design and rendering?

You have a great overclocking and gaming build there, but if your goal is rendering depending on the program your money is far better spent elsewhere.

Almost all of adobe creative cloud, plus slight programming and Visual. Also slight gaming, nothing major. talking the classics.

Are you doing 3D Rendering in After Effects for example?

Slowly dipping into that. possibly will this summer.

Ok you MAY want to consider a Quadro GPU then. While GTX GPUs do work with most Adobe products, and accelerate with them, Quadro works with a larger suite and also has more features when it comes to that type of work.

This is where I am at so far with your build:

I have not added the GPU yet because I need to know what your budget is for one. I may then bring this down. The changes I made are, you don't need that liquid cooler, the one I included is cheaper and works just as well if not better and likely quieter. I kept the 7700k and z270 (a cheaper one you don't need that ridiculous gaming board) because I want you to be able to use faster memory (gave you DDR4-3000) it helps in the programs you use. The PSU you had was excessive, 550w is more than enough. The SSD you picked isn't great, the 960 EVO is fast, also helps with what you're doing.

So whats your TOTAL budget?

1200 was my cap, but honestly if Im capable of lowering it to 800. that'd be sick.
earlier gen i7?

Well the problem is you're missing a GPU. Off the bat, it will work fine but 3d rendering isn't happening.

This is where I'm at right now if you have a $1200 budget:

This will do everything, REALLY well. I did drop the CPU to an i5 to get it together, but I think the GPU acceleration will help.

Crap, should've mentioned. I already own the case

Well there you go now its below your budget! Or you can upgrade the CPU to the 7700k for the price difference.
