2-3K budget PC for game development

[paper anchor]

Hi everyone

Looking for some advice with a build for a PC which will be used for game development. I will be working with the GTA game series for this, and therefore will require a powerful machine. My budget for this project is 2-3k GBP.

Please could anyone help with providing advice as to AMD/Intel and configuration wise?

Thanks

Do you need a monitor or anything or just the PC, if you have a monitor what resolution do you play at?

[paper anchor]

Just the PC

I have a 1080p monitor at the moment but will be using a 4K monitor in the future

I know..it was some problem with the website

[primal lantern]

I’ve reported it

[crystal shore]

I don't think x3D version are good for game development and stuff like that

[crystal shore]

This one will suit better being a X version or the Intel one

[primal lantern]

It’s a decent all rounder tbf but I did miss read that so we probably need an intel 700/900k build

[crystal shore]

I did both, AMD and Intel

Is for him to choose now which one he prefer

Thank you so much everyone

Do you have any advice as to whether AMD or Intel would work best?

[primal lantern]

what development programs are you using?

7800x3D is the best raw gaming performance CPU

Intel is close but is a bit of an all rounder

[paper anchor]

It will be a mix, from 3d rendering, IDEs, testing etc

Will also likely be used for video edting

[primal lantern]

is it for professional purposes or hobby?

[paper anchor]

Professional

[primal lantern]

so CPU wise

14900K is probably king - an arguement could be made for 7950x as it runs a bit cooler I believe. The 14900k is know to be warm (its pefectly functional but it can get toasty)

[paper anchor]

Ah I see, I think the 14900k will be the best best for all round usage then

Thank you to everyone for your help 😄
