Hi everyone,

My system specs:
HP Z820,
Windows 7 Pro 64 bit,
Dual Intel Xeon E5-2687W @ 3.1-3.8 GHz,
64GB Samsung DDR3 RAM,
nvidia Geforce GTX980TI,
250GB Samsung Evo 850 SSD,
2TB Seagate HDD.

The question is:
Is it worth upgrading any of the hardwares?

Thank you,

You don't need to upgrade anything. You might just exit everything when rendering and move Sony Vegas to your SSD so you would speed up the read speed.

Hi TelevisedAI,

I am trying to install a GTX 980 ti in my Z820, and cannot see how it will fit. I removed the additional slot cover, but there is still a small metal strip across the two empty slots. Won't that get in the way? Can that be removed? I would love to see a picture of yours.

HP Z820,
Windows 7 Pro 64 bit,
Dual Intel Xeon E5-2670
64GB Samsung DDR4 RAM,
Formerly dual Quadro 400 cards
300GB Intel series 320SSD,

Hi again TelevisedAI - I see you got yours to fit, so that is good news. Now, how do you have the power connected? The 980 ti "manual" shows both the 6-pin and 8-pin molex ports being connected. I have only two (visible) 6-pin cables, used previously for my dual Quadro 4000s. There's an adapter cable with the card, but that would take both 6-pin supplies into the single 8-pin port, leaving the 6-pin with no connection.

Any help would be very appreciated!!!
