This pc is gonna be used for 3D modeling and animation, and after this build is complete, I can FINALLY retire my laptop

#

My goal for this PC is for it to do 3d animation, rendering, and modeling. I want to have it so that I don't need to upgrade it as often. I also want it to look good while doing it.

#

the case itself is a Phanteks p400a, as I wanted to get a p500a.

#

But amazon wouldn't let me purchase it

#

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600
CPU COOLER: Vetroo V5 CPU Air Cooler
MOTHERBOARD: MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK Gaming Motherboard
RAM: 2x Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB
SSD: SAMSUNG 980 1TB SSD
STORAGE: Seagate BarraCuda 8TB Internal Hard Drive
POWER SUPPLY: MSI MPG A750GF Power
Supply
EXTRAS: 2x CORSAIR iCUE SP120 RGB Elite fans

#

#

pretty good, i’m sure it’ll be much better than yer laptop 🤣

little plume Sep 2, 2022, 6:51 PM

#

miles better

#

I plan on giving this laptop to my sister as she always wanted one

#

so I'll have to clean this one up like new

#

the parts list isn't final (yet)

#

heads up, that board isn’t compatible with your selected cpu

little plume Sep 2, 2022, 6:56 PM

#

what board do you recommend?

lapis dew Sep 2, 2022, 6:56 PM

#

i bought my boyfriend a b550 tomahawk and it works pretty good so far with his 5800x

little plume Sep 2, 2022, 6:56 PM

#

awesome!

lapis dew Sep 2, 2022, 6:59 PM

#

yep, only thing i would also consider changing would be the cooler but that’s only for aesthetic purposes

little plume Sep 2, 2022, 6:59 PM

#

Alright!

#

I'm always browsing and researching

#

What cooler do you recommend?

lapis dew Sep 2, 2022, 7:05 PM

#

something like the vetroo v5 would be good

#

comes in a few colors

little plume Sep 2, 2022, 7:06 PM

#

I'll go with the black variant as I want this pc to be dark but colorful accents.

#

like 95% of PC builds

lapis dew Sep 2, 2022, 7:07 PM

#

yep, comes with an rgb fan on it too

little plume Sep 2, 2022, 7:08 PM

#

well, I'm sold! Thank you very much for helping me!

lapis dew Sep 2, 2022, 7:08 PM

#

no problem!

#

@toxic flume did you ping me?

little plume Sep 10, 2022, 7:37 PM

#

Update, the fans came in

#

I got some Phanteks SK 120 DRGB fans

lapis dew Sep 10, 2022, 7:38 PM

#

nice^^

little plume Sep 10, 2022, 8:08 PM

#

I researched these specific fans, and apparently they are made to be daisy chained

#

With a drgb connector plugged into the motherboard

#

I’m also studying the headers on the motherboard so I can figure out what goes where

#

My plan is when I get the big 3 (cpu, gpu, and mobo) I want to wire the case stuff first

#

Before the power supply stuff

little plume Sep 11, 2022, 8:00 PM

#

The cpu air cooler and the power supply came in

#

The next parts on my radar are the CPU and the motherboard

lapis dew Sep 12, 2022, 12:37 PM

#

lookin good

little plume Sep 14, 2022, 7:31 PM

#

Never thought to make a diagram. It's shitty, but it's just a general idea of what this build is going to look like.

little plume Sep 19, 2022, 12:48 AM
