PC for Unreal Engine / Content Creation

Development Platform & Builds XR Development

Hey all,

I’m wondering if I could get any feedback on the following PC specs please. I’m willing to start working with Unreal essentially creating VR experiences with some 3D package and Adobe softs along with the engine. I come from a Mac background and I’m not really familiar with the PC ‘process’ so I’d be happy to hear something from you if this is enough for me to start creating.

**CPU: **Intel i7-7700 3.6 GHz 4 Core

**RAM: **DDR4 8G PC4-19200 (x2)

Mainboard: ASRock B250M PRO4

Video: MSI GTX 1070 OC D5 8GB

**HDD: **Seagate 1 TB Barracuda ST1000DM010(SATA3/7200/64M)

SSD: 850 EVO series 250 GB

Power: Powerex RexIII 600W Triple V2.3

Case: ABKO NCore

This PC would cost me approx. USD 1400,00 which is what I’d be happy to spend at this point + monitor + mouse + keyboard.

Let me know what you think,

Thank you,

You need more RAM, mostly for baking lighting. 24-32 GB would be good.

He states to have 2x 8 Gb of Ram, so it’s 16 in total.

Here are my two cents:

I think your system is very good for UE4 content creation (even VR) as it is. If you are able to spend some more money, you should get additional ram. I have 16 GB and I’m totally fine with it.

Thank you guys! I might get more RAM as you have suggested.

One more thing though, with regards to the memory, **franktech **suggested an ext drive…So would that be an ext drive (looking into a WD 2 TB) + HDD + SSD? What would be the best combination in that system?

Thanks a lot.
