A very good evening to you all,

I sincerely hope that this thread meets you at a good time.

I am hoping to seek your advice and expertise critique if I may on a proposed build as seen here:

http://pcpartpicker.com/user/sentienceisfree/saved/qg66...

I will be aiming to do 3D renders in the likes of 3DS max, as well as hopefully undertake some gaming time permitting.

Do you believe that this is an advisable build or would you recommend otherwise? Replace parts? Throw the idea out and start again?

Either way I wish you all the best.

With regards.

Seriously, killer build that will handle ANYTHING!

Think about how much time you are willing to spend on both, Gaming and Rendering you might be better off with a workstation card such as the FireproW series or Nvidia Quadro series.

The GTX Titan Z is like a gaming + workstation hybrid video card.

True but wouldn't he get even more performance in rendering with a official workstation card?

Really depends in which SW you want to use Titan Z although in 3DS MAX with VRAY should be good,but still I wouldn't be surprised if ATI/AMD 295X2 will be much faster than TitanZ just due OpenCL(OpenCL using VRAY) is better on AMD/ATI cards than on nVidia counterparts

Again depends on renderer and SW,in CUDA specific renderer like is Octane there TitanZ should fly,but still in this renderer you will be or can be able to use only 6GB from 12GB(this renderer doesn't support SLI),in most cases 6GB limit is enough,but still in very large scene you will be limited by lower textures etc.

If you will be using this card in LuxRender then I would suspect this card will be slower,much slower than ATI/AMD counterparts which cost lot less

I've been using GTX 760Ti which is older in LuxRender,but is very slow if I'm comparing this to 290X or in VRAY(newer VRAY is pretty much great with newer ATI/AMD GPU)

Thanks,Jura
