BUILD - 3D modelling, rendering

[IulTan]

Hello,
I'm planning on buying a new pc for 3D Modelling and rendering. I'm using V-ray, Lumion and Unreal engine for still renders and also animations, with my main needs being to render fast using raytracing.

I know the SSD capacity is not enough but I have another one from my old PC that I plan to use, and maybe upgrade it further in the following months, so 1TB is enough for me at the moment.

Also, do you find worth spending extra on 6000mhz memory and sticking with 64gb for the moment, upgrading later, or going from the beginning with 96/128 gb but lower frequency?

BUDGET: 3500 €

Well for starters I'd suggest changing to an AMD build as the Intel CPU's are dead out of the box

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...

This will need a second opinion from someone more knowledgeable in 3-D modelling etc but maybe something like this (fairly similar to what you posted, just changed platforms and tweaked a few things):

Case
CORSAIR 5000D AIRFLOW TEMPERED GLASS GAMING CASE
Processor (CPU)
AMD Ryzen 9 7950X 16 Core CPU (4.5GHz-5.7GHz/80MB CACHE/AM5) - Has 16 performance cores vs the 8 on the Intel chip (the other 16 are efficiency cores which are not as good)
Motherboard
ASUS® TUF GAMING X670E-PLUS WIFI (AM5, DDR5, PCIe 5.0, Wi-Fi 6E)
Memory (RAM)
64GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR5 6000MHz (2 x 32GB) KIT

16GB NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 4080 SUPER - HDMI, DP, LHR
Graphics Card Support Bracket
NONE (BRACKET INCLUDED AS STANDARD ON 4070 Ti / RX 7700 XT AND ABOVE)
1st M.2 SSD Drive
1TB CRUCIAL T705 GEN 5 M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD (up to 14,500MB/sR, 12,700MB/sW) - Not sure if your uses would benefit from an ultra fast drive (as opposed to a very fast drive)
Power Supply
CORSAIR 1200W RMx SHIFT SERIES™ MODULAR 80 PLUS GOLD, ULTRA QUIET - Next gen PSUs, greater efficiency and handling of GPU transient spikes
Power Cable
1 x 1.5 Metre European Power Cable (Kettle Lead, 1.0mm Core)
Processor Cooling
CORSAIR iCUE H150i ELITE LCD XT RGB CPU Cooler

Sound Card
ONBOARD 6 CHANNEL (5.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD)
Network Card
ONBOARD 2.5Gbe LAN PORT - Unless you need a second line, the motherboard one will suffice

Thank you! Much appreciated.

I did some changes based on your input. Any thoughts on this?

Memory (RAM)
64GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR5 4800MHz (2 x 32GB) (I plan on upgrading to 128GB but I didn't find the option with 4800mhz. From what I read on the motherboard specs, it said it supports min 4800mhz, and the 128GB option on the configurator has 3600mhz)
