I set up my PC before I started to work on Unreal (6 months ago). At that time, I was mostly working on Blender. So, I want to go for an RTX 3080 & I didn’t care about the CPU at all. Since, due to stock issues, I cannot find a 3080 so I got a 2060 RTX assuming I will update it to 3080 sooner.
Then I went with a Ryzen 8 core (16 threads) machine.
Then, I started working with Unreal & now I don’t need 3080 anymore. I’m fine with my 2060 but I desperately need a new CPU with more threads. The reason is shader compile time.
I don’t work with ray-tracing stuff so I don’t need a fancy GPU. I can still get 60 FPS with most of the games I play & stuff I made in Unreal.
I have a 16 GB setup & I still don’t have any issue with the RAM.
