What do you think about this computer?

Kazmora · May 8, 2014

Hi, I'm a computer animation student and I'm looking into getting a workstation. I stumbled upon this build http://www.amazon.com/CybertronPC-Blueprint-CAD3193B-Desktop-Black/dp/B00F254LT4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1399592891&sr=8-1&keywords=cybertron+blueprint . And I was wondering what someone with more expertise would think about this computer. Are all the components adequate? Is the price right?, etc...
Thank you guys in advance!

So are you wondering if it is a ripoff since you could build your own cheaper? How much is a quadro K4000 in retail? hmmn...

What are the recommendations for systems from your university? What are you going to be doing with the computer... I assume computer animation, but anything else?

A quadro is 500-700 depending on who makes the card and the clock speed.

If we know what application or applications the poster is using, we could find a card optimized for that application.

mjmacka :

We mostly use maya, and programs such as After Effects and Photoshop.

Here is a score from Maya and newer GPU's.

The board scored well. The W5000 scored better and is less expensive by about $300 bucks.

I know this is only one comparison but most likely, Maya is going to take most GPU intensive of the listed applications.
