Hey everyone! I'm Rodney and I'm on the hunt for a good PC or laptop that can handle video editing and 3D design. For the past year, I've been trying everything to save up for a decent setup. I've done freelance thumbnail designing, worked in a restaurant, and most recently, I was a graphic designer for a small company, but no luck with affording a PC while covering my basic needs.
Right now, I'm stuck with an HP EliteBook 8470p with 4GB of DDR3 RAM, a 500GB HDD, and an Intel i5 (3rd gen). It's really struggling with graphic design, let alone 3D modeling.
I'm looking for advice and support to build a PC that can run DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Blender, and Unreal Engine. Here are the specs I'm considering:
* **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X or Intel i7 = **$231.50**
* **GPU**: NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti = **$385.92**
* **RAM**: 16GB DDR4 3200Hz = **$46.30**
* **Storage**: 1TB 4.0 NVMe SSD = **$100.30**
* **Motherboard**: ASUS PRIME B550M-A WIFI II (or compatible mATX) = **$157.50**
* **PSU**: MSI MAG A650BE = **$59.99**
* **Case**: Deepcool MACUBE110 mATX = **$107.25**
* **Monitor**: HP OMEN 27" 2560x1440 165Hz = **$231.50**
* **Mouse**: Logitech G305 = **$61.74**
* **Keyboard**: Signature K650 = **$61.74**
* **TOTAL COST: $1457.54**
If anyone can contribute or has parts lying around that could help, I'd really appreciate it! Even if you know of charities or organizations doing PC giveaways, please let me know. Thanks for reading and any help would mean so much to me! Feel free to reach out with questions too.
