Hi, I need help building a PC that I can render complex 3d scenes in DAZ Studio 4.12 that won’t slow down my PC, the PC will also be used for general use and Photoshop. I don’t have a problem waiting for complex scenes to render in 1-2 hours as long as I can use the PC for other things while DAZ Studio is rendering in the background. Thank you

Reuse case, HDD and DVD
PSU could possibly reuse, but 7 years seems a bit old.

You probably should add a m.2 nvme drive in there for boot.

If you're really into rendering/photoshop work, you should invest in a highly colour accurate monitor.

Ryzen 9 > Ryzen 7 for Rendering

Personally air cooler > AIO

Memory: Don't see the point of 4 x 8GB.

Storage: MVNE > SATA
