Unity
Visual Studio
Adobe Premiere Pro
Adobe Photoshop
All games made on Unreal Engine and Unity
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then please mention.
Ans: 40-45k Can stretch if required but not by a lot. I need only CPU, MB and RAM.
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: No, I need reliability.
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Win10
5. How much hard drive / solid-state drive space is needed?
Ans: I have had Drives But Interested to get an NVMe drive. But this is strictly optional.
6. Do you want to buy a monitor? If yes, please mention the screen size and resolution you prefer. If you already have a monitor and want to reuse it, then do mention the screen size and resolution of the monitor you have.
Ans: no
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy? i.e. which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: Cabinet, KB, MSE, PSU, HDD/SSD, GPU
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: Anytime after Lockdown. There is no hurry. I have a laptop with i9 9880h and RTX2080 that is doing the job.
9. Have you ever built a desktop before? Or, will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: I can build on my own. this will be the 4th.
10. Where do you live? Are you buying locally? Are you open to buying stuff from online shops if you don't get locally?
Ans: Bangalore, but currently in Udupi District of Karnataka. I can get things online. If you can suggest a good online retailer. I'd prefer Amazon for easy returns etc. But I'm open to suggestions.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
I need an 8-Core 16 thread CPU, an i5 or R5 with 6 core or non Hyperthreading CPU wont do.
16 GB RAM in Dual channel is good But I'm okay with a single DIMM if that saves cost. But the Motherboard should have room for RAM upgrade and SATA upgrade.
I have a graphics card that is doing the job on my current rig. Currently I have a 430w PSU So I might need a 550 or 650w PSU.
I've added what I have narrowed down on my own Research. I need only Mobo, CPU and RAM.
Intel Rig
i7 10700, K, F, KF - 8/16
MSI B460M PRO-VDH WIFI LGA 1200 INTEL B460 MICRO ATX
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (1x16GB) DDR4 3200MHZ UDIMM
AMD Rig
3700x 8/16
ASROCK B450M STEEL LEGEND - Dual m.2 slots, 6 sata ports, 7 USB A ports
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (1x16GB) DDR4 3200MHZ UDIMM
Optional Components based on my priority:
650w PSU
NVMe Boot SSD
Case with clear windowed Side panel
I am not looking to get Old gen Ryzen 2700 or 1700 because they may not be very power efficient.
5700x or 5600 are costly.
For some reason I am not able to get a decent Intel Motherboard and suitable RAM to go with i7 10700. Would a 3200Mhz RAM work with it?
Ans:
Blender
Unreal Engine 4 Editor
Unity
Visual Studio
Adobe Premiere Pro
Adobe Photoshop
All games made on Unreal Engine and Unity
