My Dad bought me an HP Envy desktop it features 32GB RAM, an nVidia 1660 Super video card, etc. This computer exceeds all my expectations. For around $1,000, it's the best computer investment ever, for me! Renders are completed in minutes. Here's a link to the HP Envy computer: HP Envy

Pretty cool. I have 16 GB ram, but I'm thinking of upgrading to 32.

Jeff, it won't hurt to upgrade the memory.

Yeah I definitely want to upgrade. I paid $350 for this computer (refurbished) and the RAM upgrade will be about $75 so the whole thing will have cost me $425. Not bad. I also have a 3.2 GHz processor and a 2 TB hard drive.

That's very inexpensive, if it's all you want.

Congrats on the new PC!
I've had this one for about a year now and I'm really happy with it. I'll probably go up to 32GB RAM and a better graphics card when I replace it, but for now, it renders quick and handles all my different 3D related programs with ease. Happy with the brand, too – this computer is much less finicky than some of the bigger brands I've used.

Thanks. Heatherlly, I believe I looked at that and similar models. It looked decent. One day I got a Costco catalogue, and like the one I got. It helped that my Dad bought it for me!
