Title: HELP! What is the best computer / build for our budget?
Post by: ExposureMarketingCo on 2018-05-17, 04:38:41

Hi Everyone,

We are a boutique agency located in Melbourne Australia, we are looking to build a dedicated 3D rendering computer for our studio.

Our budget is $3000 AUD. We are not sure if we should custom make a computer or buy one. What are the best available options for us?

Much appreciated guys!

If you don't have experience building computers, it's probably safer to buy a pre-built system.
In that price, best price/performance should be a AMD Threadripper build based on 1950X

Just an example: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/wZzQ6s
You would need to double check ram compatibility depending on motherboard and what's available.
When buying pre-built, they should check all that for you.
Gpu can be as low as 1050Ti. Psu/case is also changeable.
