So,
I'll start with the career description. I am a University teacher at a School of Arts in Belgium. My main activity consits in teaching students everything Motion Design related, ranging from Cinema 4D, Adobe CC - and looking into Blender and Unreal for the near future.
Since our school is heavy Mac-biased (network, support, printing service, server-related), i'm all covered with a decked out 2021 M1 MBP.
Aside this assignment, which covers about 4/5th of my income - I'm still very active as a freelancer. My toolkit exists of the full Adobe CC and Maxon array - Cinema 4D and After Effects mostly. Blender, Unreal engine and ZBrush will play a major part in extending my parttime freelance business. But... equally important - my hobby is simulation (aside darts and mountainbiking) . I spend a lot of time in VR (HP-reverb G2) on titles as iRacing, MFS2020, DCS World,... I haven't found the sweet spot yet.
So I'm looking towards best of both worlds.
My current system is:
X570 Gigabyte Aorus Elite
AMD Ryzen 9 5950x
Noctua D15 cooler
64Gb DDR 4 3600 Mhz
RTX 3090
I already ordered a RTX 4090 - it's a no brainer for Redshift rendering in C4D
I did a lot of research, which raised following questions: Team red or team blue? Money is an issue...
If Team Red: 7950x3D? Or wait for 7800x3D?
If Team Blue, only one option... 19300k - which is very power hungry.
I want to avoid investing in a new PSU, mine is Corsair hx1000i
Cooler will be a corsair h150i
The 13900k is compatible with a mobo that supports DDR4 (have 64Gb now), cutting the price, but may be not future proof? So I need a new Mobo anyhow...
So many choices...
I wan't to stay under 2K for the upgrade (4090 excluded)
Any thoughts appreciated - I'll do the build myself ;-)
Thanks for the advice!
