Hi,
I was wondering if any of you experts could help me pick parts for a desktop build to use for heavy 3d modeling/rendering/video/graphics etc. I use softwares like Modo/Rhino/Zbrush/Maya/Max/Adobe Photoshop etc. I've only owned laptops until today which never gave me enough power for the work I do. I've never built a desktop before, so other than general idea, I don't know where to start, what exactly I need and what is out there today.
I'd appreciate if you could tell me what I should get. I don't have a very high budget right now. I was thinking of buying a laptop again but due to money figured I could get more bang for the buck building a desktop.
Budgeting ~ $600 - $800
(the lower price, the better but I'm willing to pitch a little more if its truly worth it and recommended. I'd hope this build would last for 2 years or so). Just for perspective, I use a crappy Intel Core 2 duo ~2.8ghz, 8GB Ram, HP 8530w laptop right now which to begin with, never cut it for the work I do when I bought it over 6 years ago.
Thanks
