Hello I would like to build a beast of a machine primarily for Blender and Adobe Creative Suite CS6. I use all the creative suite applications (Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere Pro, Indesign, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Speedgrade, etc) and thus need the most powerful system I can get. My biggest question is the gpu: should I go with a Quadra or a Geforce?
I already own the motherboard and cpu...
Thank you very much for your help!
