Hey guys, I've read a lot of really great info on this site, and I'm just about ready to shoot off an order to build a new PC. I'm looking to build a workstation for home on a budget. I'd love the processing power of dual xeons, but it's just not really in my budget. This is what I've come up with instead.
I value quick, accurate viewport feedback for my 3d applications, snappy test renders, and a relatively future-proof machine. I don't really work with any 4k footage at the moment, but I think it's probably inevitable that I will soon.
Any feedback you guys have on my parts selection would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Approximate Purchase Date: this week
Budget Range: $2500 - $2700
System Usage from Most to Least Important: 3d Rendering (Vray, mentalray for now, don't do much GPU rendering), modeling, Dynamic/Fluid Sims (Maya), texturing (photoshop, MARI), compositing (nuke, after effects), video editing, light gaming.
Parts Not Required:
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: superbiiz, newegg, amazon
Country: USA
Parts Preferences:
Overclocking: Not likely
SLI or Crossfire: I would like two way SLI to be an option for the future if necessary
Monitor Resolution: Up to 4k is perfect
