AMD or Intel for a 3d moddling PC

[RickyFarrell405]

I buily my current PC (I7 2.8 GHZ, 18Gb memory) over12 years ago but now it is showing its age and is begining to struggle with some of the applications i use. Currently it has a 8GB Nvidia geforce RTX 3070 but i would like a new Graphics card but i would still like to use my old one.

Anyway i am having a few issues in deciding whether to go AMD or Intel especially regarding longevity. My current system works fine but obviously can't be upgraded to Windows 11 so i feel its time to replace it.

I am a keen Gamer (Balders gate 3 world of tanks, City Skylines 2, Fallout 4/76 etc. ) nothing to heavy and everything plays just fine except my Modded fallout 4 but thas my fault for too many mods .

I am very into 3D Moddling etc, i currently use - Fusion 360, Daz Studio 4 and i am currently learning Blender so i need a system that can handle the load. Fusion 360 struggles a bit opening some large projects and rendering in Daz studio 4 can take forever.

Any Advice or suggestion would be really great, forgot to mention i run a twin monitor setup but would likew to upgrade my main monitor with a 32" curved monitor.

Having had my OIntel I7 system for 12 years i am a bit reluctant to go for AMD. Currently i have specked this system

These days it’s an easy decision. Intel processors are broken and have a multitude of issues. The only answer is AMD, who have really come to the top of the market since you last bought a CPU.

Intel 13th and 14th Gen confirmed defective

So there's been a lot of upset gathering steam on the inter webs with intermittent games crashes on Intel 13th and 14th gen. Workarounds range from underclocking to disabling ecores. BUT, there are a lot of people finding that simply disabling hyperthreading is a proper solution. The findings...

Intel are now what AMD were several years ago, impossible to cool, use about double the power for less performance and more expensive despite that. That’s despite the fact theyre literally broken at a silicon level.

Point is don’t compare AMD with what they used to be, AMD are now what Intel were at the time you bought your current pc, best performing cpus and best stability available

If you could let us know you’re max budget and the make and model screens you’re using we can offer some advice

My Budget is between £2000 - £2500.
My current monitor is see below. The reason i am after curved monitors is due to the lack of space. both will be wall mounted right beside one another
