I have been doing research to build a budget animation computer. I already have a HDD, OS, and optical drive. I will be running Autodesk Maya as well as many Adobe products such as After Effects, Flash, and Premiere.
Here is the build I have come up with. I will eventually add an SSD for better performance. I'm thinking that my CPU is overpowered for the rest of the build and I honestly dont know if my RAM is good or not. As far as I can tell its the best at the price point on newegg. I read up on how to read RAM speed on here.
Anyways to avoid being to wordy on here any advice on these parts would be great.
Thanks in advance!
PS. My absolute max budget is $1000.00 but an under $900.00 build is ideal.
