Does this look like a good PC Build for music production and 3D modeling?
Hi, I need to build a computer by the end of the year to replace my old music production PC. I am a professional musician and producer. I already have a good professional audio interface (MOTU Ultralite Mk5). I also do a lot of 3D printing (FDM and resin), and would like to try my hand at 3D modeling at some point. Does this look like a good build for these purposes? I'm sure I could build a much cheaper computer for music production, which could be an option as I really just need a computer to record and arrange multi-tracks, with some post-production in the computer. But, I was thinking of something that maybe could do more in the 3D or multi-media fields. This would roughly be my max budget. Thank you.

Hi DblBass, I too am a professional musician and have built a music production PC. The 9800X3D with a 9070XT is a gaming computer. Whilst it is no slouch, you may want to swap to a AMD 9900X or an Intel Ultra 7 265K/KF. FL studio, Ableton, Pro Tools are core count heavy and so these CPUs will help uplift performance in those apps. I have some other ideas as well but if you'd like to hear more feel free to contact me at sjimenezgomez@microcenter.com
