I need a new PC for game dev (3d art with UE4/UE5), suggestions?
I have a 5-year-old desktop pc. I just got a full-time job and looking to save up money for a new desktop pc by next year with the intention of using it for game dev (indie games using UE4 or UE5) and 3D environment art with UE4/UE5. I also use software like Quixel Megascans, Mixer, Substance Designer/Painter, Adobe… -

I did all the diagnostic tests on memory, storage drives, and CPU. It's all perfectly healthy. I think one of the things that are causing the crashing is that my hard drive space is almost full and it has gotten a lot slower because of that. Also, my CPU is always at 100% often times when working with UE4 or Quixel Mixer.… -

That's good advice! That tree pinewood project is the oldest project in my portfolio. I'm planning on removing it and replacing it with a new project in near future. -

I agree that software is more important than hardware. -

how you spend your money is your business but some of these guys here really know hardware and if they tell me my computer is good enough then i'd start thinking performance issues would likely mean i was doing things in a weird way then. -

I will definitely upgrade the graphics card to a 2070 or 3070 (as long it's not a bottleneck to the CPU) and if I can get them at all seeing that it's very hard to find a graphics card today for a fair price. -

True. True. I just don't want to fall too far behind with hardware specs to the point where it becomes a burden. I have been in that situation before and it was not fun. Fun fact, my previous computer caught on fire because it was rendering frames after frames for a school project. It was an iMac. I will hold on to this… -

Yeah, I have noticed that my game drive which is my old 250GB SSD gets really slow when filled up and it does get filled up thanks to games being 60+ GB nowadays. I'm upgrading all of the storage drives and just sell the old ones to my friends. Should help a lot with performance and reduce the load on the cpu trying to… -

You might consider upgrading the 1070 to an RTX card if you want to do ray tracing stuff. Otherwise, your hardware specs are completely fine. Your computer is not holding you back from making good art work.
