Hey all, fairly new here and i really need help haha
I’m primarily going to be using my PC for modeling and animation (Maya 2016), Photoshop and then of course rendering it all I’ll also be playing around with Unreal Engine 4 and hopefully get into it pretty seriously, besides that i’ll be playing Star Citizen and that’s about it.
I wouldn’t want to go over 2000 by much, thats excluding a Mouse,keyboard,Mic,Headset,Monitor and Pc Case.
I’m pretty new to Computer components and how they all work, so any extra information is appreciated.
My Starting point is my Pc Case which is the NZXT H440 Razer PC case.

From my understanding Intel processors are far better for rendering , and nividia cards are better for software like Maya, as far as that i dont know much else about building a PC , any help is really appreciated !
Thanks in advance
