No worries, wasn't asking for me as I'm not suggesting parts, just know its one of the first things other users would ask before they could suggest stuff. Hopefully less time wasted this way

Maybe Edit the OT and include your currency there as people may not read all replies

Exchange rate for SGD to USD is 1.36, rtx 4090 is SGD $2700+

The software that I am using is Zbrush, Autodesk Maya, 3Ds Max, Substance Painter 2, Photoshop, Aftereffects, Nuke, Houdini and unreal engine.

Considering you want to make 3D models, you'd want 32GB RAM and a decent CPU.
The rest doesn't matter too much, yes, not even GPU because its not about laglessness playing games. I'd say a mid tier GPU is enough. (it will get you smooth results in most games and in the 3D rendering engine.)


Your current package is exaggerated and extremely expensive imo.
but that said, you also have the whole apple level expensive brands of software packages to play with. I can't understand why people want to monthly pay for photoshop.
I mean, people get it at their school I am guessing, but for home use its a stupid business model.
and you have an entire adobe suite to pay for monthly. (Adobe Wallet Leech - Parasite edition)

For Unreal you need an Epic Games account.
but like the rest has all kinds of FOSS alternatives and alternatives at a much lower price.

but feel free to look wealthy if it makes you feel good.

edit: jokes aside
what you want to build is high end (server level basically, though I know offices with weaker servers)
It is powerful.
That nvidia card is the most power card on the market and that intel cpu is... well, consideirng how powerful your pc is kinda odd that you pick intel unless you trust intel more, but it is an expensive high end processor.
(currently amd has more powerful processors with many more cores, but anyway.)
You don't need that much power for modern games and to make 3D art.
Also keep in mind that companies like nvidia are known to be anti-consumer
They will release a better card in a few weeks and likely try to make customers buy that with fancy words.
They also put some crappy card in the same series as the latest tiers, and they in the end cause bugs in games since they stop properly supporting cards pretty early on also in an attempt to get people to buy newer cards.

like, if you want the latest card, its not going to be the latest forever and you'll be getting screwed over.
Also that nvidia card is so powerful that nothing slows it down far enough. Its completely 'bottlenecked', since nothing supports that much power properly.
(see reviews)
So it is very exaggerated. Nobody needs it, its a status article.

(1) "3D Artist" is the confusing comment here as you imply developer ~ do you need a "work" computer with unusual developer programs or a "play" computer with typical programs plus gaming abilities like the rest of us on Steam?

(2) Windows or Mac? Intel or AMD and or Nvidia? Storage capacities?

(3) Notebook of typical size meaning 15" or 17" as such? Or a desktop rig with " professional capacities"?

(4) Where are you buying this machine - SPO or elsewhere?

It's understood your budget is +/- USD $3,700 (equivalent) and that's more than sufficient for a typical, high-powered gaming pc although maybe low for a pro rig (particularly for something like a Mac Pro). But we need some basics answered first, starting with the four questions above please?

First, do some research yourself and please help us to understand? Start here for Windows rigs https://www.newegg.com and for Mac rigs https://www.apple.com/store <<< these two companies are first-rate for gamers & for pro's ~ they'll offer you superb, personalized guidance, both companies are VERY SERIOUS with top-rate integrity and they'll ship anywhere on earth. Have fun!

Hi thanks for answering my questions, of course those software that I have mentioned are all paid by my company so I don't pay a single penny, i'm just using my assigned company email to access those software at home or in the company office for free. Why did i choose nvidia rtx 4090 is because it can properly support 4k resolution ( correct me if i'm wrong ) although it's expensive. As for ram, I think i will get a 4 x 16 Gb ram and i7 13700kf should be enough..

(1) "3D Artist" is the confusing comment here as you imply developer ~ do you need a "work" computer with unusual developer programs or a "play" computer with typical programs plus gaming abilities like the rest of us on Steam?

I would say both, gaming and working PC.

(2) Windows or Mac? Intel or AMD and or Nvidia? Storage capacities?

Windows and Nvidia RTX 4090, 2x 1TB SSD

(3) Notebook of typical size meaning 15" or 17" as such? Or a desktop rig with " professional capacities"?

Desktop only, i7 or i9 and II don't like laptop, it get overheat easily when rending stuff.

(4) Where are you buying this machine - SPO or elsewhere?

Some local PC shop

"A local shop"? OK ~~~ then you're aware of the two SPO shops I linked above.. Only reason I asked was not to pry but to help you out. My family & I lived close-by in Padang, Sumatra, when l was stationed there for business. Back then I bought my daughter her first Mac Pro she requested for basic 3D game / film design. That was many years ago before she graduated university with a masters degree in CAD, has been a professional CG 3D game developer and does film/audio design. She's needed to upgrade her rig a few times substantially since then but has stuck with Mac Pro. We all miss that wonderful IBM CPU but the usual suspects do a decent job as well. Happy shopping & have fun
