Hi Guys I'm looking forward to buiying

-An intel workstation P4304CR2LFKN : http://ark.intel.com/products/56400/Intel-Workstation-System-P4304CR2LFKN?wapkw=intel+workstation+system+p4304cr2lfkn

-with dual intel Xeon Processors E5-2650 (8 cores, 20M Cache, 2.00 GHz, 8.00 GT/s Intel QPI)

- Intel SSD 335 Series (240GB, 2.5in SATA 6Gb/s, 20nm, MLC)

-WD HDD 2TB/7200RPM/64MB/WD RE4

-4X8GB Kingston RAM D3-1600R11 2RDIMM

and I'm thinking of adding a Quadro K2000 graphics card.

I'm gonna be using this workstation for 3D renderings. I work in animation and motion graphics and need a fast rendering computer.

DO YOU GUYS THINK THIS IS A GOOD WORKSTATION FOR THE PURPOSE I INTEND TO USE IT FOR?

Would appreciate your opinions

Hey man thanks for the reply!
Yeah I guess it'd be cheaper if I could build it myself, but since I lack that knowledge I will go with a pre-built one.
One question though, for RENDERING purposes would a Xeon E5-2650 8 cores, 2.00 GHz be better than a lets say 6core 3.1 GHz? Does the GHz make a lot of a difference ? or is it better to go with a higher core?

my intention was to get a dual 8 core (16 cores E5-2650.)
Is a dual 6 core better? :eek:
Does the GHz make THAT much of a difference?
Again my intention is not to use the pc for gaming purposes. I intend to use it for work on 3D software ( rendering and simulation)
