PC Build ADVICE NEEDED (Patreon)

Im planing on building new PC to replace one that i had since early 2013. I basically bought high end (at the time) gaming PC, it had bunch of reliability problems, and its time to replace it

Im not a big tech guy so need some wise advice about what hardware is more suitable for Photoshop drawing, 3d work (want to start learning), and video editing.  Main concern is being stable, reliable and fast. 

Gaming is not a concern for me. 

Thank you.

Hmmm, my advice is concentrate RAM and Video Card. CPU doesn't need to have a very high end unless you plan to do recordings.

What's your budget? I would go for a 32gb ram and i7 87k for all around stability and performance, i7 and above are exellent for multi threaded workloads like 3d animations, video editing, you can always throw a gpu of your choosing later on.

Budget not a big problem, other concideration I wanna try and get a case small enough that I can put it into suitcase and travel with it.

If you want reliable, you should probably go big brand pre-built. Everything is gonna work together without weird ass conflicts. But if you want to build then go SSD for your OS drive with a 32/64 of ram and if you want the best r/w times a 10,000 rpm working drive with probably a 4-6tb storage drive. Graphics card is gonna to be dependent on your case if you wanna keep it small you don't something massive like a Titan x or 1080ti in there. I'd say you wanna find your case first then make sure you can fit everything you want into it and make cuts if need be or change cases if you cant get what you want in there.

For 3D modeling, you may want to treat it similar to building a gaming PC. A good video card is key for working in Photoshop, 3D modeling, and video rendering. You may want to decide what 3D program you plan to use, and work with that. A ton of people use Blender because it's easy and free, so I'd reccomend you check out their system requirements: <a href="https://www.blender.org/download/requirements/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.blender.org/download/requirements/</a> I have heard of 3D artists getting two video cards and hooking them together via SLI or something similar. It's expensive, and the results on whether or not i helps have been mixed. Since you mentioned wanting a small case that you can travel with, get something that will fit in the largest suitcase you're allowed to travel with. In the US I found a suitcase that is 19"x12"x32" and it comes in just under the max size allowed. I'm actually traveling overseas soon, and I'm rebuilding my computer into a smaller case so I can bring it with me. The new case I got is this: <a href="https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147260&amp;nm_mc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel&amp;cm_mmc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel-_-Content-_-text-_-" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147260&amp;nm_mc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel&amp;cm_mmc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel-_-Content-_-text-_-</a> It's small enough to fit my suitcase and hold a large video card.

If you really don't care about gaming at all, buy any of NVIDIAs Quadro graphics cards, but there's cost as an issue. The Quadro P4000 is about 800 USD and will give you the bang for your buck for productivity use. For the CPU, something like the i7-8700k will have all the features you need for general purpose everything, especially if you are only just doing entry level work on everything. Similarly, RAM is just whatever your budget allows for the board just noting that you want at minimum 16 gigs worth of RAM. You should strongly consider SSDs, as they have some impact on 3D rendering but significant impact on any video editing. A good compromise is using a dedicated system and software on an SSD, a separate SSD for editing on (so that you put the temp and working files on it) and then just having a larger cheaper regular disk drive for archiving purposes only.

If you're planning to do 3D modelling, then you'll want to go a 6 or 8 core CPU. Also, Geforce 10-series cards are going down in price so get 2.

I wish I could help.

AMD 2700X with a ASUS Prime X470-Pro AM4 motherboard, 32g of ram, Geforce 1060 or 1070, a 500g m.2 ssd for your OS and a 2tb hard drive for storage, 700watt power supply.

I wish I could say ‘get a Mac’, but Apple have been fucking the pro users over for years. I’d suggest limiting the amount of stuff you put in there to the bare essentials, you probably don’t need 32gb of ram, 16 should do, just try and get the fastest ram you can afford. Try to get a PCI SSD for your boot drive and apps. I’d recommend not getting a big local HDD to consume power and run the risk of failure. Rather kee[ everything in Dropbox and use folder syncing to remove local copies of big files.

What is your Budget? And what are you primarily trying to do with it I can recommend you a good list of prebuilts.

Are you looking for an off-the-shelf purchase, or a custom build setup that you can assemble and/or have a local shop assemble for you?

If you want to avoid building, but upgrading, best to look at DELL and HP machines, even their laptops can do the jobs, just get the 32/64gb ram / 1080 invidia card with ssd inside or dual ssd and regular hardrive

Like someone already said, nvidia quadro is the best go for video and image editing, nothing to compare with the gaming cards with the same “power”, because it’s a totally different kind of integration. A friend of mine just bought a new pc for video editing with a quadro, Adobe premiere is just too quick now!

Obviously on a quadro you can still play games, but you'll have far more power with editing.

Yeah -- the Quadro line are effectively "cousins" to the regular consumer video cards, same core architecture and featureset, but optimized for professional rendering work as opposed to games. If you're only starting out on 3D modelling, however, a Quadro may be overkill; multiple video cards absolutely would be overkill.

For any image editing look for PCs with at least 16GB (32GB if you're doing anything in raw photo format IIRC). Basically more RAM means Photoshop won't freak out or have to store parts of your project on disk (aka virtual memory or paging as it's technically called). Also look for graphics cards with large memory that too can help but double check with your version of Photoshop on what can support (this probably means you'll need to ask loads of questions forom others to get the right kinds of cards for this).

If money is no problem than 6-core Intel CPU (like Intel Core i7-8700K) or 8 core AMD CPU (like AMD Ryzen 7 1700 or AMD Ryzen 7 2700X), 16GB RAM (32GB is better), SSD (like Samsung 860 EVO), NVideo geForce 1060 with 6GB or geForce 1070 or AMD Radeon RX480 8GB. I don't think that you need right now hi-end videocard like geForce 1080Ti. NVideo Quadro is definitely overkill as well as CPUs like AMD Ryzen Threadripper or Intel Core i9

Harry_Hirsch

Is this post already done or are you still looking for a PC to build? Because it's kinda funny that people recommend an i7 8700K when there are a lot more effective CPUs (Threadripper, i9) available and you said yourself that money is not really the issue here... This is primarily a work pc guys, for gaming 8700k might be the shit, but for work there are better choices... Also baffling that people recommend a 1060 for 3d work... WOW guys, like really? <a href="https://www.custompcreview.com/pc-computer-builds/recommended-workstation-pc-builds/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.custompcreview.com/pc-computer-builds/recommended-workstation-pc-builds/</a> This website imo does a pretty interesting build suggestion and budgeting, so you can decide yourself what your budget is (you say you have not really one, but I bet you don't want to spend more than X$ on it). Also I personally would go with a Ryzen 1700/2700 over a 8700k if the purpose of the PC is a workstation.

Check out the new Mac mini. Small, powerful, and if you want you can add a massive video card with thunderbolt 3 later.
