Get guidance on setting up a new workstation build.
Hello friends,
I’m joining the community and I’m eager for your guidance.
I’m working on a new PC setup focused on 3D, animation, rendering, and 2D graphics.
I’m trying to get it right but I don’t have deep hardware knowledge.
Your advice would mean a lot to me.
Thanks in advance for your help.
3D Design and Animation
Puget Systems offers workstation PCs tailored for high performance across various tasks. Choose your preferred software to proceed.

Click the desired software and select "hardware recommendations" for additional details.
You likely won’t require the advanced features of a more expensive Aero motherboard.
This Asrock model suits your requirements well. It includes
18+3+3 Power Phase Design, 110A SPS for VCore, which is sufficient for a 24-core CPU.

AIO is built to fully support threadripper IHS. Always opt for quad-channel memory with the TRX50. The board supports four slots, so if you anticipate needing more than 64GB, consider upgrading to 128GB now.

Storage presents another key limitation in certain setups. In such cases, the T705 is a solid choice.
You must also consider the power requirements for the motherboard and GPU, using ATX 3.0 PSUs.
This configuration can serve as a solid foundation for your system:

Good morning Lucky SLS,
Thank you for your response—it's quite intriguing.
The only issue is that I haven't built a computer before, so I'm unfamiliar with the setup process. I configured the PC using PCspecialist (sorry, I didn't mention it in my post).
Would you like me to add just the CPU to this quotation?
Here is the rewritten version of your text:

Which quote should you choose for the CPU? Your original offer already covers everything. I recommend considering a RAM setup of either 4 x 16 GB or 4 x 32 GB – a quad channel memory kit.

Extra SSDs added bring the total to £4250.
The price is completely unrealistic... it really hurts.... Maybe it would be useful to find a professional representative and list all the components... definitely more affordable.
Thank you again for your assistance, it means a lot.
I’ll let you know soon, no problem at all.
