"Large scale graphic rendering" = GTX 650 Ti Boost does that?

When I read that, I was thinking you were going for a resolution of 2560 x 1440 or more.

It's an alright build. Could use 4GB more RAM. Don't get single sticks either. Get 2 x 4 for example.

PSU perhaps a little too small. Should be 80+ bronze certified too.

I'm not sure whether the 650 ti boost will be good for that or not. The images I render are of sizes ranging from 2560 x 1440 as far as 60000 x 30000 (for LED walls etc). Please advise on the same.

Budget for GPU is $180.

Will add to the RAM and will check on another PSU.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Rofl this is kind of hilarious in a sense.

You'll be able to render large images, just might be a little slowly.

More GPU RAM is good for high-resolution stuff.

Also the Boost is pretty different from the Ti.

Hey breh,

I'm a graphic designer working heavily with Adobe suite and just finished months of research and endless reading. With that said I built a PC that was future ready but I scaled it down a touch with some additional input from other members. Every single item listed here is the ABSOLUTE BEST I could come up with based on my research and budget

CPU: Intel Core i7-3770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor - $309.99
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H ATX LGA1155 Motherboard - $139.20
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory - $124.99
Storage: Samsung 840 Pro Series 128GB 2.5" Solid State Disk - $129.99
External Storage: WD My Passport 1TB Portable External Hard Drive Storage USB 3.0 - $79.99
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX650Ti Boost SuperClocked 2GB - $179.99
Case: NZXT Source 210 Elite (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case - $49.99
Power Supply: Corsair Builder Series CX 600 Watt - $57.74
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer - $21.95
Total: $1,110.45 (Amazon)

*RAM is going to be your #1 priority here. PS and Illustrator devour RAM so I would Recommend going with 16gb.

*Hard Drive Setup: Use the Samsung 840 Pro Series 128GB for an internal card that you install all your system programs/software on and buy a 1TB External Harddrive to save all your files to. This will significantly decrease system loading times, place much less stress on the internal Drive, and boot up your PC in about 20 seconds lol. Likewise, your files are portable if you ever need to travel and don't have cloud access.

I'm actually from India so everything here is overpriced, but thanks for the config. Seems pretty good so I checked out the prices and stuff and its way too much here in India. Might go for an i5 instead of Xeon and lower RAM. Thanks though, will pick yours as the solution :)
