Hi,

I want to build a new PC. Can anybody help which would be good?

Intel 13th Gen Raptor Lake Core i9 13900K 3.00GHz-5.80GHz
or AMD Ryzen 9 7950X 4.5GHz-5.7GHz

Intel has 24 cores but it is 16 physical core and 8 performance core. So, here I would get 16core*3.00GHz = 48 speed for Houdini sim?

Though AMD Ryzen 9 has 16 core, its base speed is 4.5. Should I a get about 16core*4.5 = 72 Speed for Houdini Sim?

I am not good in express, Just want to know what would be good choice.

Also please suggest relevant motherboard, Ram for the budget friendly build.

Thanks in Advanced.

Hi,

I Need some info. 

My workstation is about 6 years old. It is a Core i7 6700K. (core is just 4).

But I put more memory for learning Houdini. It is now 64 GB Ram.
My Graphics card is 750ti 4GB memory.

I plan to buy "ZOTAC GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8GB GDDR6 Twin Edge OC Graphics Card" and subscribe to Redshift Render. So far I know Graphics cards are very important. But budget is an issue.


1. What do you think about my current system with GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8GB? Can I handle a professional freelancing job with rendering? I intend to get a redshift subscription also.

2.Are these enough to do a professional level job as well as courses provided in Rebelway water fx courses, And other VFX simulation?

3. Is Ram bus speed (MHz) important? Or should I just focus on Capacity (GB)?

4.  If I don't buy the graphics card then I can get the latest intel cpu (Core i9 12900K Processor) with 128 GB ram. I can use my old 750ti 4GB memory graphics card.

I intend to do a lot of fluid simulation as well as other effects Houdini provides.

Please give me honest professional advice. As it is a one time investment. I can't afford more until I start earning.
Thank you so much.
