Hardware / New PC Build! Looking for advices!

« on: 2020-10-30, 23:17:28 »

Hello everybody!
so as the title says i'm putting together my new personal build and i'm looking for some recommendations. Mainly i will be using this setup for rendering (both exteriors and interiors) and maybe some casual gaming (but as i have a ps4 that's not the main goal). My current setup is an HP Prebuilt pc with i5 6400 CPU (Corona benchmark 8:01@1Mln Rays) and GT730 Gpu (i can't even use the Fast nvidia denoiser...).

I already have a few components:
PSU: Corsair ax1200i
Cooling: NZXT Kraken x63 AIO
Case: NZXT h510i

OPTION A: intel 10th gen
MOBO: Asus ROG Strix z490-A
CPU: i5 10600k (6Core 12Threads 4,1-4,8Ghz 12MB Cache L3 - Best CoronaBenchmark: 1:58@4,1Mln Rays)
RAM: HyperX Fury RGB 32gb 3200mhz DDR4
GPU: EVGA Gtx1660 SC Ultra
SSD: Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVME 500gb
TOTAL: Around 1000€


OPTION B: Ryzen Build
MOBO: Asus Prime X570-PRO
CPU: Ryzen 7 2700x (8Core 16Threads 3,7-4,3Ghz 16MB Cache L3 - Best CoronaBenchmark: 1:41@4,7Mln Rays)
RAM: HyperX Fury RGB 32gb 3200mhz DDR4
GPU: EVGA GeForce RTX 2060 KO ULTRA GAMING
SSD: Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVME 500gb
TOTAL: Around 1020€

I do really care about the aesthetics... and yes, i would spend a bit more for good-looking parts over the top performing but ugly... i know a lot will hate me on this... but hey, i't'll be on my desk day and night!

I think the AMD build will perform better both in rendering and in gaming (even though i would not game on this machine A LOT i would still like being able to try out Recent titles with RTX). Also i think it would be much more future-proof as the new 5xxx amd processors will be compatible with x570 Mobos, meaning i could always update to a more recent cpu later (while Intel 1200 socket i'm not sure how long it will still go...)

Please if i said anything wrong or maybe you have any better components to suggest.. i'm here to listen! I still have a lot of time, as i'm waiting for BlackFriday and new amd/nvidia releases to see if prices will come down a bit.

Thanks to anyone who will help me decide!

Thanks for the comments! yeah maybe the floor is too much bumpy. The carpet was made with the hair&fur modifier, never used before and still experimenting with it :) thanks for moving the post, as soon as i get a bit of spare time I'll try to improve it ;)

Hello everyone
This is my first post here on the forum, and this is my first completed render with Corona. Critics and comments always help getting better so... tell me what you think!
It all started with the bed. I decided a few time go to model a bed which looked like it has just been used, then i created the rest of the scene, to better contextualize the bed.
Hope you like it!
