Agreed, and he said he also renders so a Ryzen chip would be the best bet for him. I hope he builds it himself which would be cheaper and we can recommend him some parts.

The best I7 machine for rendering right now is a Ryzen machine :p

True, but you can get more than a RX 480 for that price. 54$ extra and you can get this. Marginally lower performance in rendering because of the lower RAM speed but much, much better for gaming.z

You sure Ryzen is affordable for me at $1200 budget?

That build is $1200. You could take a bit from everywhere. The most significant reduction can be made on the SSD, like $60, $70 if you want to downgrade the model. Not much anyways.

This is a cheaper version.

Which monitor do you have? The 1070 is a good idea too.

Thanks a lot man! :)

I am hearing that Geforce EVGA 1070 or 1080 are actually best for gaming but for Rendering one should go for Rx 480 instead.

Oh boy. You are gonna need a stronger card if you want to use the 5K res. I think your monitor is too expensive for your budget, I´ll give you the guidelines:

Lots of RAM (at least 16Gb), fast RAM (2666MHz is usually cheap as the 2400 and 2133), powerful CPU (Ryzen or similar I7, lke 6800k-6850k-6900k) and GPU (Titan X or 1080ti, when it comes out).

Workstation cards are just a waste of money.


Watch that it´s pretty good.

He's easily the most popular tech tuber out there. I remember seeing him a few years ago but he's exploded in popularity recently.

Yup! No not right now. Getting 5K to work will cost me more money. I'll look into it by this year end.

Told you bro. Quadroo series is the most expensive series. I was looking for Quadroo 4000 series though, slightly old and it was costing me around $1,400, $200 more than my pc budget in total :D
