Question my new pc assembly: starting from gpu

[mercanteinfiera]

Ten years ago (2015) I assembled this:


this PC has supported me for ten years, I changed the motherboard a year ago because its first version burned out a summer ago.



this pc was the basis for rendering and the bottlenecks were the rtx 970 which doesn't do cuda and the giga. Those who do 3D need RAM, a lot of it is needed for complex models. However that work ended until 2018 here www.carlonarducci.com but to date I have not renewed the 3d studio max, and vray and teaching licenses.



Today I'm going towards this solution:


the figure is similar to that of 10 years ago. I have many doubts but the first to be resolved is the GPU.



I'm seeing a lot of reviews and although I won't use it much (I teach now) I would like a high-performance PC



I DON'T USE THE PC FOR VIDEO GAMES



video and 3D editing have been stopped since before Covid but they are my skills.



THE GPU today is found very few 4080 super very few 4080 FE and and they are my two choices for price. I don't want it to be too much. I need the cudas if I put the software back on, and I would like freedom but I have moved on to teaching more basic things at school.



I would like to kindly discuss things with expert people. GREETINGS.

I would try to get a newer CPU (should not be much more money). Can you get a 5070TI cheaper than a 4080?

I would dump the water cooling for a good affordable AIR cooler.

I would go with a MIN 2 TB drive, if you can afford a 4TB. You wont' regret having space. Make you a 200GB windows partition then the rest on D.

If you don't do gaming, then why buying a gaming GPU? Get a RTX 4000 Ada 20 GB. This is designed for the kind of work you want to do. Newer Ada cards are very expensive but the 4000 is still good and affordable (for a professional grade GPU).
