Want to build a DAW + Video Edit + 3D render Workstation - Please advise

Seanwdym

My initial request got deleted - can you send me message before deleting so I understand why...Thanks

Use and Need

Audio production

Software used

• FL studio (including vst)
• Adobe audition
• Reaper

At 44,100 Hz sample rate my wav files can easily be 120mb+

Photo Edits

• Photoshop
• Lightroom

Video Edits

• Adobe Premiere (4k and upwards)
• Adobe Aftereffects

3D modeling

• Blender
• Unreal Engine

And Yes Budget -

Ideally $3500 - $4500 max!

Additional Info

3 Gen 4 hardisk

• A super fast m.2 for the OS perhaps 512gb
• Additional 1 or 2 TB ssd
• and a large 6tb HDD

Without getting caught up in DDR5 - perhaps the fastest available DDR4 Memory min 64gb

GPU that can handle 3D renders and 4k and up video edits

CPU that complements and not bottle neck

Willing to spend on reliable components and good rated power supply

External add ons

• Wacom Cintiq
• Focusrite scarlett

Also with Big.little a part of 12gen Intel CPUs if there anything I need to be aware of or know how software can be impacted

Speaking of which I am a little undecided between Intel and AMD so I'm open to both suggestions.

Looks like you're just missing a power supply and a video card from your parts list. I'd recommend a 3000 series card or equivalent if you can get your hands on once since they are hard to purchase. Then after that probably around an 800-1000W modular power supply and I'd say you'd be good to go.

Thank you... That built was based on my street knowledge. I'm curious to hear other CPU/Mobo/GPU combos as well

Really the only similarity there would be Intel wise would be the 12900K. Video card wise you could go with one of the new AMD cards but I would agree the 3000 series would be preferable.

You can also look over benchmarks and comparisons such as https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-core-i9-12900k-vs-ryzen-9-5900x-5950x or look up software/games you would be using and look at benchmarks comparing specific hardware items.
