Would love your thoughts on 6k+ AUD Work & Gaming PC build
Hi, it's my first time posting here, and apologies in advanced if I'm breaking any rules.
I'm looking to get a new custom PC built for WFH & gaming, and I'm looking for advice from the tech gods.
My work bases around 2D & 3D rendering & sim, and requires high performing CPU, Lots of RAM, and well performing GPU.
My current PC was built back in 2020, and it hasn't been performing as I need it to be for my work lately.
I'm looking to transfer my Storages (only) from this PC to the new PC, as all the other parts won't be compatible / competent.
I did my due diligence and tried to put together a parts list of what I'm looking for with my limited knowledge, but I'd really appreciate your input.
The things I need for certain : CPU (R9 9950x3d), GPU(rtx5080) & RAM(98gb+). Would love for any feedback on suggestions on other parts, and/or possible compatibility issues.
Thank you so much in advance.
