I’m building a PC primarily for 3D architectural

work, using software like 3ds Max,  D5, V-Ray, Photoshop, After

Effects, and Premiere Pro. I’ve shortlisted the following components for

my build and would appreciate your help in finalizing the configuration

or suggesting alternatives:


  • Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X
  • Motherboard: MSI Tomahawk X870
  • Graphics Card: NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti Super
  • Cabinet: AeroCool Mirage ARGB Mid Tower Case (MIRAGEBK)
  • RAM: DDR5 6000 MHz (from G.Skill or ADATA XPG)
  • SSD: NVMe Samsung Pro 990
  • Cooler: 360mm liquid cooler (brand/model not decided yet)

Please let me know if this setup is well-suited for my workload or if there are better options I should consider.


Thanks in advance for your advice!

4070 Ti Super is a gaming GPU and for work i.e., for a professional workstation, you have the RTX/Quadro GPUs from nVidia which are more suited for 3d related work like AutoCAD/Solidworks etc. 

I would suggest trying your software on some 4070 Ti PCs (if you can) like friend's or PC build shops. Also these software should also have the Required Hardware page on their website which you can check for min CPU/GPU

btw all depends on budget and the workstation GPUs are more costly than gaming ones especially in India

1) What's your estimated budget? What's your max budget?

2) How long are you going to use it for before partially or fully upgrading it?


3) Are you going to use it for your your own business? Recover the cost from tax as business expenses.  (( Just curious))

Quite an overkill, I'd say. But it'll be futureproof, that's for sure.
