hi guys,
im planning to build a rendering pc but i have no experience with that.
it is for a friend.
he asked me if i can build a pc with at least 32 processors or cores (i believe cores since there is no such thing as 32 processors, i dont know maybe im wrong).
so im a total noob when it comes to rendering PCs.
please let me know what information you need.
best regards.

The cheapest 16-core CPU is the AMD Opteron 6370P which is for 600$, you'll need 2 of those with a dual-processor motherboard from Supermicro, alternatively you can go all out and get four 8-core Xeons and a quad-processor motherboard.

which do you advise?
i heard intel are much better than amds

But they're also way more expensive, what's your budget ?

Get a low end server with 12 cores xeon and a decent gpu

Go for Nvidia Quadro for rendering, preferably the K2200 and 4200
