Hey guys, this is my first post and I'd really appreciate some feedback on this potential build:
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/Leebo101/saved/TGQKHx
The system will be used for architectural modelling and rendering through 3DSMax/Rhino and V-Ray (perhaps moving to Lumion/Octane depending on how successful my attempts at GPU-based rendering are).
A few forums I have read seem to promote AMD CPU's with more cores as best for rendering, but I've always been an intel guy and there does always seem to be an argument for them on the same forums.
Besides rendering, the system would be used primarily for gaming. I'm not one for playing the latest crysis on max settings, but I'd like to be able to play things like Arkham Origins, Fallout 3, COD Black Ops II on decent settings.
I don't know if this is the case of having one or the other with a system built for rendering or one for gaming, so any advice would be really appreciated. As this is my first build, I am trying to stay away from overclocking too.
I already have a monitor, mouse, keyboard and speakers.
Thanks in advance everyone!
