Hi all, I have a budget of around 2K. Any thoughts? I mostly use Daz, Poser, Carrara 8.5 Pro but looking to get into ZBrush and a few other things.

Thanks,

The power supply may be more than you need (which is about 850 watts), so you can buy a cheaper one if you want but this one is extremely reliable and provides some leverage for upgrades in 3 or so years.

Don't need a monitor but yeah, I'll get another copy of W7Pro but not included in the budget.

Thanks,

I use luxrender and reality 2.5 right now. Luxrender will use openCL I believe. I was wanting to try Octane out which requires the NVIDIA card.

Yes turkey, thank you.

The extra RAM will help a lot for rendering large environments and complex details. The processor is much stronger and can even be overclocked that will be a huge benefit for rendering everything, and the graphics card is very powerful and the main component that will be of large benefit.
