In The Market For A New PC

So, I'm not too far away from having the funds to buy a new computer and replace my old one since it's almost a decade old. I was hoping someone here would have a good idea of what system I should get since I'm no longer knowledgeable about computers.

We'll set to budget to around $3,500.00

I need a computer that can render 3D images with DAZ3D but also handle gaming as its secondary function. I'm also looking into game development, so a system that can handle that would be good - but isn't mandatory.

Use PC Partpicker and build one. If you're not comfortable building it yourself, take all the pieces to a local computer shop and pay them the $100 or so to build it for you. I play brand new videogames and edit 4k video on a machine I paid roughly $1,200 for, and haven't updated anything on it save some hard drives in like 7 years. $3,500 should easily get you something great.


Just select what you want and let the form check for compatibility issues.

Never heard of DAZ3D before, but normally for 3D rendering you need GPU speed. So the GeForce RTX 3080 would be a good investment. But check if that software need GPU or CPU rendering. If it's CPU I could advise you to switch to apple which is more stable in CPU rendering.

If we're talking about still images you don't need the full $3,500. You can get a really good computer for $2,000.
