Good build for 3D Rendering/Gaming ?

mrjojo · Oct 27, 2013

guyz what do u think of this build? is there anyway i can improve this rig with less money on the shelf? im building a rig for both 3D rendering and playing games that are currently available/ will be in the market at least on high settings. hit me with some decent specs of ur own taste.

Its a good build, although the GPU is a year old. Try'n get a GTX 760 which is a newer GPU. The CPU should be fine because it has hyper threading...

Both builds with 3GB GPUs and a 8 threads CPU.

You've got a socket 2011 CPU and a 1150 mobo, better with the 1150 mobo (would change the GB to the Asus Gryphon) and go with a 4670K CPU

mrjojo · Oct 27, 2013

Tradesman1 :

does that mean that i7 4820 doesnt go with Gigabyte GA-Z87X ?

Tradesman1 · Oct 27, 2013

The 4820 is a socket 2011 CPU, runs on X79 mobos

mrjojo · Oct 27, 2013

Tradesman1 :

could Gigabyte GA-X79-UP4 be a good choice? any choices u might wanna suggest?

Tradesman1 · Oct 28, 2013

At that price point I'd go the Asus P9X79 LE, OCs better, handles DRAM better, runs cooler

mrjojo · Oct 28, 2013

Tradesman1 :

thanks, how aboud ASUS - H87-PRO with a Intel Core i5 - 3.4GHz - 4670k ? any motherboard ud suggest at bout the same price range? is it any good for overclocking?

Tradesman1 · Oct 28, 2013

Want a Z87 for OCing the 4670K - look at the Asus Z87-A

mrjojo · Oct 28, 2013

Tradesman1 :

so ASUS Z87-A 1150 MB goes well with Interl Core i5 - 4670k , if im not mistaking. thanks a bunch mate. really appreciate it.

Tradesman1 · Oct 28, 2013

No worries, may want to close the thread

mrjojo · Oct 28, 2013

one last question , do i need a cpu cooler for oc ? if so what model do u suggest that doesnt cost too much for a cooler. also how much power do i need considering the overclocking the system? is 750 too much?

Tradesman1 · Oct 28, 2013

750 is good and a great cooler is the Hyper 212 EVO, very reasonable - about $30-35

mrjojo · Oct 28, 2013

thanks again , how do i close this thread?
