Hey there I work for a university as a 3d modeler/animator and have to go through their computer providers when purchasing a new machine. I mainly use Blender and Cycles and have been quoted this for a new machine and was wondering what your thoughts were...

dell precision t5610
- Intel E5-2609 2.5Ghz
- 16GB RAM
- 500GB 10K RPM SATA HDD
- std support, keyboard and mouse
- no graphics card if possible if not entry level card

and from dell spare parts and another supplier one of these cards...

- GeForce GTX Titan
- GeForce GTX 780 Ti
- GeForce GTX 780
- GeForce GTX 770
- GeForce GTX 760

Thanks in advance.

Anyhow here's the specs I got back (where we would be replacing the Quadro card with a Titan Black)...

Dual Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2650 v2 (Eight Core HT, 2.6GHz Turbo, 20 MB)
Windows® 7 Professional 64 bit (English)
Dell Precision T5610 825W TPM Chassis
32GB (8x4GB) 1866MHz DDR3 ECC RDIMM
1 GB NVIDIA Quadro K600 (1DP & 1DVI-I) (1DP-DVI & 1DVI-VGA adapter)
2x 500GB 3.5inch Serial ATA (7.200 Rpm) Hard Drive

But it seems getting a mac pro will be cheaper by about $1000, and am I reading this post correctly that a Titan Black can be used in a Mac Pro?

If so here's the specs I got for a Mac Pro too (where we would be replacing the AMD card with a Titan Black)...

3.7GHz quad-core with 10MB of L3 cache
32GB (4x8GB) of 1866MHz DDR3 ECC
256GB PCIe-based flash storage
Dual AMD FirePro D300 GPUs with 2GB of GDDR5 VRAM each
