Hi,
I had to leave Blender and CG for awhile, 3 years now. The crisis and having to focus on my job unfortunately lead me here. Right now I want to come back and I’m thinking about getting a new computer, this is the current specs:

I’m not sure about if it’s worth investing in a CUDA video card, but I guess I would benefit working with it, because I could have my renders more faster or at least work faster. I dont have much time.
Any tips are appreciated,
thanks for your time!
