I'm no expert when it comes to various hardware specs - but there are a lot of folks here who are.  You might want to start your own thread and ask this question as a topic heading that will attract those people.

Serhan, I been building computers since 40GB hardrives were +$600 etc., in the early 1980's. The top CPU's were always +$1000. I've only managed once to have the fastest CPU when the Ryzen 9-3900x came out. That lasted 3 months. I've been fighting not to buy the 5950, since I can used the same motherboard. But the 3900 has been fast enough to run my DAW, as many channels I needed so far, without sweating. Go to PassMark Software, look up benchmarks, and you will get the speeds of every hardrive, CPU, Memory, video cards, plus the prices. When I did my last iClone projects, I was using a intel i6800k, because I could put 128 GB of RAM on the Motherboard. I use a lot of avatars, and most people on here they would tell you that CPU and above 16GB of RAM was a waste, but I never listened to them. They would only brag about their 1080 video card they spent $100 for. I noticed the more memory I added the more avatars I could and motions I could add to a scene. I'm not a Intel, guy. I also built Cyrus, AMD and who gives me the most for my money. When I asked Peter what was RL using in their computers, and he wouldn't tell me and then he lied, to me about them changing mp4 encoder on a later upgrade. I've been making Blu~Rays and HD videos before iC4, and my eyes and size of the same project setting were decreased, I stopped asking him for any tech info. If I wanted the best stuff for my iClone and my music studio (maybe overkill?). And I'd have no problem spending that money, and I do because it would take me up to 3 months to put it back, I'd get me the Ryzen Threadripper 3970X for about $3000, which is twice as fast as my 3900x, 256 GB of RAM, not the most expensive ones, and a good motherboard, look at the PassMark benchmarks and prices on a video car you like, which are crazy now, and if you can get one. If you don't want to spend Threadripper money. Look into the Ryzen 5950 or 5900. I recommend water cooling. One thing I hate about intel, every time I want to upgrade my CPU, I have to buy a new motherboard also. I have a AMD 3900X CPU and I can buy a AMD 5950X, and just swap it out. Everyone says you can see a difference, but I have no problem with my 3900X. When I had my i6800k, it took me over 8 hours, or I went to work and came back home to render some scenes, to mp4 format. The same scenes rendered with my 3900X takes like 20 minutes. If you go to Youtube (rioleo8) and look most of my iClone videos, all finished with my i6800k and 128 GB of RAM. With the processor I had before that and a max of 64 GB of RAM. I couldn't get as many avatars or add motions to avatars without freezing. I've never crashed, it just took minutes to get to the next frames. The best bet is to go to Passmark, pick out you CPU, Video card, memory. Then later your motherboard, power supply, and it must be able to run all this 800W? A watercooler, and I never overclock. I never want to use fluids in electronic stuff, but I wanted to powerful CPU. Get the best bang for your money, do your homework. Almost everyday I go to Passmark, to see what's the best components out there, not just who's name is on it. Right now AMD has the best CPU's, not that I say so. The pro's do, that test both. Go to Youtube and see them rate the CPU's. Good luck with your new computer parts, and projects. I forgot, last April, I made the; "Happy Birthday Taylor" video with the 3900X processor. I already made the club, so all I had to do was add the people. I only had 2 hours to do it so my other granddaughter could post it. There was no hesitation while animating, but I did not have the time to add more or add animation to everything I wanted, or edit things I didn't like. No problems at all. I remember when I could only put 4-6 people on my jet plane because iClone had a memory limit.



Home built; ASRock X570 Pro 4, AMD Ryzen 9-5950X CPU, AMD RADEON RX6900XT, 16GB video card, 131GB of RAM.

The most important difference would be between an RTX 3070 and an RTX 3090; more VRAM (important for large scenes) and more performance.

I have always used Intel CPUs and have no complaints there. What is important also is to get sufficient system RAM. My latest system has 128 GB.
