Hi forum,
It has been some 10 years since I last build my own pc, and I am totally out of the loop on gear, bottlenecks etc. and I do not have the time to research it all 🙁 Which sucks! But I work professionally with 3D so the "down time" on my gear/building/researching is money out the window as the income from my animations are about 500USD a day.
I am looking for a good solution for building my own computer, having it build by a company or order an existing "standard model">
Info on what I need:
I am using video editing (after effects, premiere pro, photoshop) combined with Unreal Engine development. Right now I use an Acer Asipe v. 17 Nitro with i7 and Nvidia 860m. I am looking for a serious upgrade, primarily on the graphical front to have my animations in UE4 render faster. It takes ages not it is has become a serious hurdle in my working times/speed.
So, I am looking to trade-in my old laptop for 400 USD cash. I can prob get more on a forum or website, but I do not have the time. I need an effective, reliable and bulletproof solution.
I am looking to spend some 1300 USD total for a system (no monitor included). The monitor I have is 1080p. Overkill to go for a gtx1070? I also need atleast one HHD to be SSD for rendering.
I am looking to animate in full 4K live render in the future (Hence the gtx1070). Since this is unreal engine, and since I work as an animator, I am working with photorealistic renderings. So I need power.
So a few questions:
Websites where I can select a build, they put it together, and send it?
Websites where I can go and simply find all the components, already selected, and order them, build it myself or go to a local shop and have it made? (Live in NYC)
A particular pre-made model desktop (like laptops which are actually far more expensive to build yourself than buying premade) that serves my needs that I can just click-order-receive?
I am open to building it myself, if all items are alreaedy selected. I am too afraid to make a computer that overheats, create bottlenecks etc.
