Hello,
I have basic knowledge about computers so I have an idea what I wanted in the PC. However, I thought that maybe someone more knowledgable could suggest me a build. Now, I'm on really tight budget so I am hoping to fit it into £850-£900 at max. Although my current one in quote is worth £940 I was wondering that maybe have some tips as to what is sufficient etc. As all of my current savings are going into it I want to be sure it's the best I can get in this category.
I need the PC for using software such as Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro and most importantly Blender or Cinema4D.
My current one has i5, 16GB RAM, NVIDIA GTX 1660 6GB, SSD-512GB and HDD 1TB and 550W power supply. I am complete amateur in cooling so I've no idea what is the best processor cooling and thermal paste (or how much importance the paste even has) in my current one I have- PCS FrostFlow 100 RGB V3.
For any help, tips & suggestions I will be very grateful!
Thank you!
Jana
