BUILD - 3D modelling, rendering

[IulTan]

Hello,
I'm planning on buying a new pc for 3D Modelling and rendering. I'm using V-ray, Lumion and Unreal engine for still renders and also animations, with my main needs being to render fast using raytracing.

I know the SSD capacity is not enough but I have another one from my old PC that I plan to use, and maybe upgrade it further in the following months, so 1TB is enough for me at the moment.

Also, do you find worth spending extra on 6000mhz memory and sticking with 64gb for the moment, upgrading later, or going from the beginning with 96/128 gb but lower frequency?

BUDGET: 3500 €

Well for starters I'd suggest changing to an AMD build as the Intel CPU's are dead out of the box

Intel 13th and 14th Gen confirmed defective

So there's been a lot of upset gathering steam on the inter webs with intermittent games crashes on Intel 13th and 14th gen. Workarounds range from underclocking to disabling ecores. BUT, there are a lot of people finding that simply disabling hyperthreading is a proper solution. The findings...

Thank you! Much appreciated.

I did some changes based on your input. Any thoughts on this?
