Build Advice Help me build my PC!

[luffy00]

Hey folks!
I want to build a PC mainly for architectural works, so most of the time i'll be using rendering engine.

I've chosen the cpu and gpu that is i7 14700k and 4070ti.
But I'm indecisive about ram !
Should I take ddr5 or to, 4 stick ram or 2. How it gonna affect my performance, which brand should i take etc etc.
Kindly enlighten me on this issue,
Also suggest me some good motherboard.

My whole budget is around $1800

You want 2 sticks of ram. 4 sticks of ddr5 still doesn't work very well. The 14700k's 4 extra E cores aren't really worth another $70 over the 13700k. Honestly unless you need a system now, I would wait till Ryen 9000 launches this month.

Here's a build with more cores and RAM with less GPU a bit over the budget. I dont know exactly what you are trying to optimize for. Are your tasks more CPU or more GPU?

It depends on the software. But both are needed, the more vram and cuda core the better. But nvidia outperforms amd in most cases. And for ram 64gb 5600 is enough for now , more would be overkill. would later upgrade to 128 if needed. Though most of the software doesn't need 128.
