Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: As soon as possible
Budget Range: $4-10k after or before shipping
System Usage from Most to Least Important: This computer is going to be my main workstation for game programming and animation. Started a studio with some friends and I need this PC to work and run smoothly with Autodesk's software line (Maya, 3D Studio Max, and more), Unity, UDK, CryEngine 3, Visual Studio 2012, IBM Rational, and much more. I also wanted this PC to be able to run games that we create. I have a spare gaming PC but in the case that the gaming PC is not working I need to be able to use the workstation to test and play games. This is the big reason why I am torn between the GTX TITAN and the Quadro K5000.
Are you buying a monitor: Yes x3
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: I prefer Amazon because in the case that something does not work I can return with little hassle unlike Newegg BUT I do understand if I need to buy something somewhere else so list any site.
Location: Florida, USA
Parts Preferences: by brand or type : I prefer Intel CPU and Nvidia GPU, I do not like G.Skillz RAM.
Overclocking: If possible, if not no problem
SLI: Yes please
Your Monitor Resolution: 2560x1440 to 1920x1080 (Higher the better)
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Started a game studio with friends and this is sort of our first step. We are all students in game software development and have a strong passion to work for ourselves and this is the reason we want to start our own studio. Any help would be great and I thank everyone ahead of time. I made a kick ass gaming PC from everyone's opinion here and I have been happy ever since, hope the same happens with this workstation.
