Hi im looking to buy a workstation pc for working with:
3ds Max, Autocad, Inventor, Revit Blender, photoshop
predominantly for architectural modeling, rendering & walk through animations. Rendering will primarily be Mental ray.
This machine would be for work, I would play games on it but I don't care if it can't run the latest or the graphics look rubbish.
My local PC shop offered me the following for $1700
Intel Xeon E3-1230v3 CPU - 3.3GHz
ASUS P9D-WS Workstation Motherboard
16GB Kit(2x8G) DDR3-1600MHZ RAM
Western Digital Black 1TB Hard Disk
22X DVD-Burner
nVidia Quadro K600 Workstation GPU
CoolerMaster Silencio 550 case + 500W PSU 80+ Bronze Certified PSU
I want to make the following changes
swap K600 GPU for PNY K4000
add: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB 2.5" Solid State Disk
bump ram to 32GB if room in budget
For those working in the architectural visualization field how would this system stack up?
Any suggestions on changes?
Also how does the Xeon compare to an i7 3770 or 4770 in a rendering context?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have not used this type of build before so Im unsure what sort of build to use to get the most out of my system.
