I'm getting ready to build a 3D graphics workstation. I have the following needs and basic knowledge.
The motherboard of choice should be either Asus or Gigabyte, and an Intel Core I7 CPU, but I don't know what generation of Intel CPU to go with. I'm looking for workstation performance as far as stability, but I don't want to go with a Xeon CPU.
I don't have to worry too much about extreme CPU speeds, since the rendering system is based around CUDA with the video card, but I'll leave that to another discussion.
There will be NO overclocking.
I have not been keeping up to date with hardware, so I'm not sure what chipsets and generations of processors are the latest. I'm hoping to get good answers on selecting a great motherboard cpu combo.
Also, are there any other considerations I should make? I will be running a single video card NVIDIA and no SLI planned at this point.
