I'm about to buy my first desktop to support better rendering, is this spec going to be good?

I've looked up a lot of stuff online to figure out what will reduce my rendering times. This seems like a good set up to me but would like a second opinion since I'm not super technical. Any help appreciated! Thanks

PSU is too weak, get 700W+

I can go up to 650w 80 plus gold. Will this be enough?

It's better than 550W

That system is good to start, I would change out these 3

1. get better memory, instead of 3000 Mhz get 3200 or 3600 with tighter timing. (The motherboard support up to 5000). It looks like they're trying to get rid of some unpopular mems

2. Your case support 360 mm AIO (liquid coolr), I would at least get a Corsair HT115 (280 mm)

3. get a beefier PSU, at least a 700W 80 Gold.

Those will give you some head room in the event you want to get more out of your system (I think both the CPU and GPU can be overclocked )

You will need a beefier PSU and better cooling.

IMHO, that system is a bit mismatched/unbalanced.  There many good parts and then they threw in some dated parts to complete the build, probably to shave cost. But if you just use it for rendering, the system by itself in good enough

Thanks, that's really helpful.
