Hey guys, was just looking around and didn’t rly know what to get but I’m looking to get a computer for using programs such as Maya, blender, 3dsmax, unreal engine 4 etc for 3D modelling/game making etc and I have a budget of around £600ish can go a little bit over

Would anyone be able to recommend any systems that would be pretty good for this type of thing for that price budget. Prebuilt or in parts either or. Thanks in advance

Few words

Do note that for rendering build, above one is almost bare minimum. If you want "pretty good" performance, you're looking to triple your budget, if not more.

R3 3200G has 4 cores/threads and it's best suited for 720p gaming or web browsing. But at this budget, it's the best CPU you can get. Luckily, CPU cooler is included with CPU. MoBo is also the cheapest X570 chipset to choose from. For bare minimum build, you'd be looking towards 8GB of RAM but after some fiddle with components, managed to squeeze 16GB of RAM into the build. While 3000/3200 Mhz RAM speed would be ideal for Ryzen CPU, 2666 Mhz will do fine as well. Storage wise you have some convenience with fast MX500 250GB SSD as an OS drive and additional 1TB HDD for data storage. Bare minimum build would only have HDD in it. Also added RX 570 which is decent mid-range 1080p GPU for faster GPU (pre)render tasks. PC case comes from Bitfenix and isn't as flashy or expensive as most gaming PC cases are. And lastly, the entire PC is powered by good quality PSU from Seasonic. PSU has 80+ Gold efficiency, fully-modular cables and 10 years of warranty.
(All 3 of my PCs: Skylake, Haswell and AMD are also powered by Seasonic. Full specs with pics in my sig.)
