What type of pc could i get for $15,000 or better yet how many pcs could i build to do 4k 60fps for work and fun? Also for VR stuff too. If no one knows can someone point me in the right direction?
You should really think about what you want it to do, rather than just throwing money at it willy-nilly. 4k 60fps what? Basic video editing? After Effects? Animation? The Xeon Platinum 8180 is $10,000. And you'd need two. Plus you'd want a board at around $800. There's over $20k on just a board and chips. But that's a ridiculous spec... and it's a server. Ignoring Xeons, an Intel Core i9 7980XE Extreme is about $2,000. Then spec the rest of the PC out, being sensible. Like maybe some GTX 1080 Ti cards in SLi rather than ridiculously expensive Quadros or Teslas. Unless you need them. A motherboard is somewhere between $200 and $1,000. Memory could be anywhere from $200 to $2,000. A decent PSU could be from $200-600. Hard drives... well, you could get a 2Tb SSD for $3,000 if you really wanted... but it seems rather silly. How many projects are you going to have on the go at once? Do you need to keep them on the machine for so long? Although... is backup important or not? How about redundancy? Speed or reliability? Are you going for an SSD OS drive for speed, plus a RAID array? Maybe even a NAS? What monitor? Are you going for size, colour accuracy..... And then... what software are you buying? What software do you know? If you're doing video editing... are you a Final Cut user? Avid? If so... are you better off with a Mac? Do you need any subscription services... Office, Creative Cloud, Avid, Backblaze..... Whilst you can indeed get advice from experts, you really need to go to them knowing exactly what your requirements are, rather than saying "build me a 4k PC for $15k!"
If you're serious about building that expensive a rig — and have "normal" needs — you should just buy a good i7-8th gen with 32GB ram and a couple 1080, with water cooling. The rest of the money should be put in a good NAS/unraid setup, 10 gigabit network, and a nice 4K screen. Inspiration:
Ok im looking to do pretty much everything but fast too. I was thinking a amd rig or maybe a titan type rig. Wanting to be able to edit photos and 3d modeling plus VR so basically a workstation beast.
The issue here is that workstation beasts range from 4k$ to 80k$ depending on the needs. You could pay 20k$ and have a rig that can't play Rocket League properly. Editingng photos is no big deal. Editing videos and 3D modeling isn't that demanding if you can afford to wait for the render/encoding and work with mezzanine files or smaller preview resolution. Sometimeses the price of "real time 8K video preview in premiere with effects" isn't worth it when you can have the preview in 1080p for 1/10 the price. Unless it's literally your job, your breadwinner, I don't think anyone needs, or even has a use for, a 15k$ PC. On the other hand, 2k$ to 3k$ worth of HDDs + NAS/unraid is a future proof investment for anyone. You'll end up filling it.
In the end my job decided to build something lower budget owell not problem anyway.Thanks for input everyone
I cant remember much but it had the lastest amd chip maybe threadripper something and gtx 1080 gpu with 16gb ram
