Hello everyone,

I'm trying to find a nice setup for a friend of mine who's really into 3D moddeling. Currently I have this setup in mind:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

CPU: Intel Core i7-3770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor ($324.99 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H ATX LGA1155 Motherboard ($123.98 @ Newegg)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LP 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($118.99 @ Newegg)
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 2GB Video Card ($193.98 @ Newegg)
Case: Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case ($44.99 @ Microcenter)
Power Supply: Corsair CX 600W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V Power Supply ($57.99 @ Microcenter)
Total: $844.92
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

You may have noticed that this setup does not have any storage. I'm unshure if an SSD helps speeding up the moddeling process. Oh yea, totall budget is around 1100$

Well, yes I thought this system was solely for 3d rendering, since you made no mention of gaming,

In that case, I recommend this :http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121656

it is noticeably faster and it is a newer model. ($215 after rebate)

As for SSDs they have incredibly fast write, read, and access times, meaning they improve the responsive of any software.

Personally, I use Photoshop and I noticed it to be a lot faster in loading up and applying filters etc after getting an SSD. An SSD is a staple for any mid-high end system. It will make a BIG difference on everything, from gaming (faster loading times) to general use (windows boots up in like 8 secs, applications load instantly) to 3d rendering (info from...

After doing some research I can't find any proof that an SSD helps with the actual 3D rendering. I had not looked into the Quadro cards so I just did, but it seems to me they are specifically made for rendering and perform bad on playing games. This system is not a 3D rendering system only so I think I need to stick to a "regular" GPU.

I am sure everyone on this forum will tell you that you should get an SSD
