Hi guys,

Im planning to build a pc for me and also gonna buy indie license,

i will use this pc mostly for motion graphics work, particles, small scale flip and high res pyro as well.

i have choosen the nvida 2070 gpu
for me for gpu rendering but after the leaks im now waiting for the new generation gpus from nvidia.

i have googled a lot about choosing the right cpu,still i couldn't decide which one to buy

amd ryzen 9 3900x
or
intel 10700k

i know amd has more cores which can be utilised well by houdini. but still lot of my friends suggest intel over Amd based on their user experience. also i have found this comparison

here [cpu.userbenchmark.com]

in which amd is way to down than than intel. But everyone over youtube suggesting AMD.

so i really need suggestion from you guys who are actual houdini users instead of blindly believing in youtubers and online database..

Any advise will really help me a lot as this is gonna be a very big investment for me.

Thank you.

Hi Mohan,

There's a lot of good info in this Entagma tutorial: entagma.com/building-your-own-houdini-workstation/ [entagma.com]

I built something similar a couple of years back, and it's pretty impressive, but didn't break the bank. It shouldn't be too hard to work out what current version of the components mentioned are. Value for money, you should go with AMD, IMHO.
Threadrippers are fantastic CPUs and the lower end or previous generation chips might fall within your budget.
