@[email protected] @[email protected] @ask l wish to build up a workstation right from scratch, where l can do basic animation, graphics and games. I wish to build it up purely on floss products as l wish to work entirely with Foss.

Can anybody suggest what are the likely hardware components that would go into building up such a workstation ?? I would also be modifying the machine later on according to my requirements, so I need to build it up accordingly.

#animation #graphics #blender #godot

    If that’s the case, then the question is more what is your budget rather than what is your skill level?

    For first timers, I would definitely still recommend a computer that already works, that’s already put together, and that can be upgraded.

    For one, especially if you get that $350 desktop computer that I suggested, it’s already a complete system. It would work and do everything you need it to do. All you would need to add to it are monitors, speakers, a keyboard, and a mouse.

    For two, it is upgradable because it has a low-end processor, and possibly room for more RAM, and an opportunity to upgrade the graphics card if need be, to put in more storage. You can do quite a bit with that.

    But if you want to build a computer from scratch, you need to know how much you can afford to spend, and then check PCpartpicker.com to see what you can get for that kind of money.
