Seeking Help Building a 3000-3500 Rig

Sandman0099 · Feb 24, 2016

Hello,

Just seeking some advices on building a new rig 3000-3500 (including Monitor, excluding Mouse and Keyboard).
I am going to use this primarily for CAD purposes, involving using 3D modelling softwares and softwares such as Revit, Rhino, Photoshop, 3DSMax at multiple instances. Ocassionally rendering images for architectural purposes, using plugins such as VRAY.

In terms of the CPU, I have been considering the Intel i7 Haswell 5820K. Please let me know if that is a good option, it has more threads than the 6700K series.

Please feel free to give advices on whole builds, or even just parts or monitors. It is very much appreciated!

Thanks a lot guys!

(located in Australia BTW!)

Theres your build, just add whatever storage drives you want. Included c: drive is 250gb 850evo SSD.

5820k, 32gb RAM, 980ti on a 32" 16:9 1440p Samsung business class monitor.

-Yes the extra cores will help, a lot. Itll equal 12 threads running. Keep an eye on used RAM, if you need more in future, add extra RAM sticks of the same type.
