TL;DR -
Intel i5 to i9 13th generation CPU
32 GB RAM
NVIDIA 3060 or better
Windows 11 (since you're buying new and Windows 10 support ends 2025)
4k monitor
If you shop right, $2000 USD will get you something that will last a long time.

I'd suggest finding a good, independant PC store that does builds and seeing what they can help build you. Often they have a good idea how much "power" you need and what synergizes. MicroCenter in the US is a good example.

Daz barely utilizes the CPU, so unless you want an all-around package for other activities, such as gaming, then there's no reason to invest too much into a CPU.
Instead, I'd invest my money in a better power supply and good airflow for the case.

It's a much safer pick to go for the 3060 rather than the 3060 Ti.
Sure, the ti on paper can render faster than the regular 3060.
However, that 8GB of VRAM is going to limit the scenes you can make; it'll be fine if you only create simple scenes.
But if you want the occasional scene in a big impressive environment with lots of figures, then the 3060 Ti won't be able to handle it, making it useless.

It's the same case as before.
The 3060 Ti is slightly faster, but the 3060 can handle more extensive and advanced scenes.

with daz the main issue is running out of memory, which will slow down your render about 1000x or crash the computer. primarily this hinges on the amount of GPU memory, but also secondarily on the RAM (you should have around 3x more RAM than VRAM). the GPU memory is by far the most important thing with daz.
the speed of cpu, ram or vram doesn't matter almost at all. it's all about fitting the project within memory, and the second it doesn't all fit you're looking at the 1000x slowdown.
so even a slower older GPU with more VRAM will beat the living shit out of a faster new GPU that does't fit all of your scene in memory. that's really the only relevant thing.

Ok, i've got another question, Asus GeForce RTX 3060 its the same as NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060? I mean they're the same but different producers right?

Nothing wrong with a Ryzen but you'll get more for your money if you look further up the range than the 1600AF and shop around.
Sort of. NVIDIA sells their silicon to many companies. An Asus GeForce RTX 3060 is an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 but an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 could be from Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, or numerous other board manufacturers.
thanks, i found two computers one has Asus GeForce which is around $1000 and the other one has NVIDIA GeForce is around $1500 and i wanted to know which one to chose
