Hi all, want to get a new machine for 3D animation.

Can anyone tell me what I should get?

Is 128GB RAM really the minimum?
Do I need 1TB SDD + 4TB HDD?

These two above are some suggestion from my friend,
but I feel like it's so crazy though.

What 3D animation software are you planning to use?

16GB-32GB Ram is good enough already, You can setup SSD as boot drive and 1TB HDD as a storage.

Mainly Lumion, Autocad, 3Ds Max, Maya, autodesk matchmover

What is you budget?

Anything below 15k max actually... is it too low??

Is it including the computer monitor or the computer only?

Including computer monitor, i don't mind not using a double screen one

32GB RAM is sufficient.

Depending on your workflow:
- if using CUDA, then pick highest end consumer card, dont go for quadro
- if bruteforce or CPU intensive, either i9 or Thrreadripper is good

Recommended spec:
CPU: Core i7-8700K (4.7GHZ) RM1499
MOBO: Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Gaming 7 RM1179
RAM: GSkill TridentZ RGB 2X16GB DDR4 3200MHZ RM1999
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1080TI Aorus Xtreme RM5099
STORAGE: Samsung 960 EVO 500GB M.2 RM1099
Western Digital 2TB Caviar Blue RM 309

Noted! Thank you so much!

The one you really need to concern is your graphic card, get a decent one. replacing a graphic card is pricey. SSD, get it only if you can afford. For Ram I've heard that some high end rendering studio get their desktop to 64GB ram, so if you're not heavy user, or not that "professional" yet my advice is get 16GB will do.

My current spec is GTX1070, 16gb ram, running smooths when I'm using Autodesk Maya, photoshop, google chrome, playing some online games at the same time, i have ssd but its a small one.

Oooo, thats a good info, i was thinking the minimum would be 64GB ! thank you so much
