Create AdviceV-Ray Rendering Build
I aim to create the most capable rendering setup possible within a $2500 budget for V-Ray. I’m focusing solely on the PC and don’t require additional peripherals like a monitor, keyboard, or mouse. A parts list targeting just under $2200 is ready; you can review it below. I’m seeking suggestions on improvements or upgrades to make the best use of the remaining $300. Thanks!

A similar option would be ideal. It’s important not to cut corners on the PSU—it’s a potential issue. The Seasonic focus GX 1000w offers a decade or more of use with its 10-year warranty. If the 9950x was available at the standard price, that would also be great. Air cooling works well even for the 9950X. A very fast NVMe drive is suitable for the operating system and programs, while a slower but still quick storage option like 2TB is recommended for other tasks. If your budget allows, a 4TB drive with a 2TB backup would be even better. Arctic P12 fans perform better than typical thermals for just a slight price increase. A different case with an airflow design is preferable; you can replace the existing ARGB fans with Arctic P12s if they’re bothersome.
