Hello! I'm a game design student and I'm looking to build a powerful pc that can last me for a good time, especially since I have to work and study from home. This is my first time building a pc and I've been doing alot of research but talking to people tends to help provide context. I have between a 1.5-2k budget, and these are the things I'm trying to do with it, and suggestions for parts, builds, or just things I should prioritize in my build would be so much help. I will be regularly using programs like
Autodesk Maya
Pixelogic Z-Brush
Substance Designer/Painter
Unreal Engine
Unity Engine
Maxon Cinema 4D
Adobe Suite
(and being able to game using a 144 hz monitor)

  • So I'm going to assume two things so if they are wrong you may need to adjust the build.  Firstly that you don't need the monitor in this build, and that the needs to design games is pretty much the same as playing them except more ram and processing power is generally needed.  So with those two assumptions I got a build here that comes in just under 2k so adjust as needed for tax and such if needed.  Hope this helps.
