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.

QUOTE(moonlightbazinga @ Apr 27 2018, 10:51 AM) 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
