Hi there, first post here.
Here is the workstation we want to buy :
Power Workstation (Intel® Xeon E5)
1 x Intel Xeon E5-2630 v2 2.6GHz LGA2011 6-Core 15MB CPU BX80635E52630V2
1 x Asus Z9PA-U8 Xeon LGA2011 E5-1600/2600 DDR3 Motherboard ATX
1 x Crucial 32GB ( 2 x 16GB ) DDR3 1866MHz ECC Registered Memory CT2K16G3ERSDD4186D
1 x Western Digital VelociRaptor 300GB 3.5" SATA 6.0 HDD WD3000HLHX
1 x PNY Quadro K600 1GB DDR3 Video Card VCQK600-PB
1 x Integrated 7.1 Channel Audio
1 x Asus DRW-24B1ST 24x SATA Optical Drive DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B
1 x Corsair Hydro Series H60 Intel/AMD High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler CW-9060007-WW
1 x Corsair RM RM750 750W Fully Modular Power Supply CP-9020055-NA
1 x Fractal Design DEFINE XL R2 BLACK PEARL Full Tower Case FD-CA-DEF-XL-R2-BL
1 x Professional assembly and testing of your configuration [Included 1 year warranty] Workstation
1 x Microsoft Windows 7 PRO 64-bit English 1PK DVD OEM (FQC-00765)
This workstation is around 2600 CAN$.
We run Autodesk softwares (autocad and revit) and do 3d renderings. (SketchUp +VRAY, 3d max).
We want to upgrade either the number of cores or the graphic card. We want to chose one of these upgrades :
1 x Intel Xeon E5-2640 v2 2.0GHz LGA2011 8-Core 20MB CPU BX80635E52640V2
OR
1 x PNY Quadro K2000 2GB DDR5 Video Card VCQK2000-PB.
This will get us a little bit under 3000 CAN$. So witch one would be better for us ? Upgrading the number of cores (lesser clock speed) or graphic card (medium range over entry level) ?
Thanks guys ! Any comments will help !
