hi
i'm a civil engineering student and i use programs like Revit,Etabs,Autocad 2d,Robot and i'll be working with fortran in some FEA problems and i'm on a budget and i have this build :
case: CM 690 III
PSU : Seasonic M12II 750 watts
MOBO: gigabyte X79 UP4
CPU : i7-4930k
Cooler: noctua NH-D14
Ram : 2x8 GB Kingstone hyper-x (i'm planning to get another 2 to get 32 GB soon )
GPU: msi R9 270
Storage : kingstone V300 240 GB, seagate 1TB hdd

i'll be gaming some times and a 1080p is more than ok for me so is it good for my purpose or i should get a 4770k with an r9 290 maybe
i am constrained by budget to 1500 JD (p.s : prices in my country in jd is nearly the same as in the US in $ )
thanks

It's the games that will be most demanding on your graphics card - I do 3D work using a GeForce 570, which is very old card now, but it does fine (in a 4930K overclocked system) - but I don't know how well it would cope with the latest games...

For what you are doing you want those extra cores that come with the 4930k. You would probably benefit more from something like a quadro. Like I do a lot of video editing, 3d video rending stuff. I currently have a gtx 780 ti and a nvidia quadro. When I had the 780ti I noticed it worked a lot slower than the cheaper quadro that I had. The good thing about that though is you can have a gaming video card and something like a quadro for your work.

lfkfkfkffs you have a Quadro and a GeForce in the same PC? That's not supposed to be possible...?

Hi Mdaaja - have you checked that the programs you will be using work well multithreaded? If not you'd do better with an overclocked 4-core like the 4770k rather than the 4930k...

If you want to do gaming you're probably better going with a GeForce card, however the power that Quadro cards lose to equivalently priced GeForce cards they will make up by having certified drivers for programs like Revit... so that's the choice you make

Well both cpus are amazing but for the future i'll be doing alot of Multi threaded work in the FEA and i'm planning to keep this build for quite a while so thats the only reason i want to go for the 4930k

As for the Revit i'm using the structure part of it which is not a GPU demanding like the architectural and i think Etabs & Sap & safe are cpu demanding programs ( there is alot of equation solving in the analysis that the program makes )

i know i'll be losing some performance with the r9 270 in the revit maybe but i'll be having the difference in other areas
so do you think i realy need a stronger graphics card ??

well i dont care about gaming that much , gaming on 1080 p on high or even meduim settings is more than enough for me
and i'm planning on overclocking the cpu to 4.4 Ghz if thats a possibility with the cooler i'm choosing
thanks very much for the help

I have my 4930k running at 4.6Ghz with a H100i cooler - temps are well within tolerances, rendering I see max 60-65degrees. The chip will go faster and remain stable, but it would mean putting too high a voltage through it. Mine is a very good chip though - 4.4Ghz is probably the max you should aim for with most 4930Ks
