  Hello all! Thank you in advance for taking the time to check this out for me. I’ve never built a PC before, so I’m sure all of you can understand and recall the feelings/thoughts I’m going through.

  A general 3d/graphic design build.

  I understand more cores equal faster render times and less but more powerful cores allow for a faster live interaction when modeling.
  There is a possibility I will use third party software to utilize my GPU because Cinema 4d does not use GPU for render.
  It would be great to have a 12-core, or two 6-core CPU’s but my budget was $1500.
  Everything on this list, including insurance and subtracting mail in rebates, comes to $1546. After all the research I’ve done, I don’t mind spending the extra 46 bucks!
