Hi guys,

Currently trying to spec a dedicated rendering workstation for the architectural office I work in. Predominantly will be used for Rhino, Vray and Photoshop. The main output will generally just be still images, although we will also need to produce animated walkthroughs, etc. These won't be as technically advanced or demanding as a lot of the animation stuff that I'm sure people on this forum spec for, but I'd still like to make sure I have enough power to not struggle with these.

Any help would be much appreciated, never assembled a PC before!!

Those vs units, from Corsair, are not very good units. Overall, I think this would be a more suitable system, for what you are wanting to do.
