Hello, hopefully everyone is doing ok.
I have been searching for couple of days now for which parts should i buy to build my computer. I am not a nerd in computer parts, so when i search a part, i get even confuser and not sure what to buy with all the choices out there:no:. I am at a point that my computer keeps lagging and freezing because of my high resolution sculpt and am not even done yet, so I know for a fact that when i retopo and add all these complex textures and animation and fluids, hair, its not gonna hold up, so its time for a major upgrade.
to understand what kind of work intensity is gonna be put on the computer and the level of realism short animation I am trying to reach and create, is shown in the video below. skip to 31:46. many of you may know the game, its from the game God of War 2 Zeus vs the Titans cutscene
I know this is too much to ask and i feel bad to ask this much, but i am desperate and have no where to turn to, but you guys. but knowing how nice and beautiful blender community is, i have no doubt that all these questions will be answered.
-budget of $2000 USD to spend. if its perfect, willing to go up to $2500 USD max.
-do you guys suggest to buy a ready to use computer or build one from scratch? from the side of getting it for my money’s worth and performance wise cuz i only want this pc to only use it for blender.
-and just curious, is there websites that you can pick what parts you want and they can build it for you with a fare decent price?
here is mostly what i am clear on what i need:
-all of this is gonna be dedicated to be used only for blender.
-mostly concerned and focused on to be reliable and lightning fast for rendering of high detailed realistic textures, with complex animation up to 2-4 minutes long
-what kind of tower should I get to have immense space for efficient air circulation and cooling? if possible, detachable external filters to take out and clean from dust
-best liquid cooling
-fast intel cpu processor
-and this is the question that really keeps me wondering because i know this will play a big role in blender, what Nvidia GPU card should I get? should I get a dual card?
-what is VRam and should I be concerned with it to effect blender performance?
-how much ram for the computer should i get?
-how much ram for the GPU i should get?
-or the ram for the gpu and the computer the same?
-how does ram work in regards for blender? will after i turn off my system, all that ram memory go back? or is it gone for ever?
-does the monitor i use matter? from the perceptive that i wont see my detailed high resoulution model
-should i worry about having to replace my gpu card in the future due to loss of ram?
-what other parts should i worry about for fastest rendering and performance for blender?
again, thank you in advance i hope you guys can help me out. because i wont know what to do if you guys don’t answer every question on here. I go to the electronic store and they have no idea how to answer my questions.
