Hi,

I'm looking for a new computer to buy.
I need it for multimedia and 3D rendering (I use 3d studio max, photoshop, lumion 3d, autocad, etc...).

Motherboard:
I have looked at a motherboard with socket 1150 (I think 1150 it's good) like H81 version, what do you think? I found this: http://www.amazon.com/ASRock-Motherboard-Motherboards-H81M-DGS-R2-0/dp/B00HUFQ1EC

CPU:
I need a good CPU but not too expensive (less than 110$).
What CPU (I prefer intel) do you think could I buy?

RAM:
I already have 8GB DDR3.

GPU:
I accept all advices for this.

Can you help me?
What configuration do you advise for my needs?

My total budget for motherboard and CPU is 168$.
I can buy a GPU later, but I don't think I want to spend more than 100$ for that.

Thanks

I am not sure then, I don't know much in the way of extremely cheap processors, but my best suggestion would be to save up a little more until you can afford one of those.

Where you will be doing a lot of rendering and multimedia work, a multicore CPu is going to be way better for you than a faster Dual core CPU. Intel doesn't really offer any effective multicore options at this price point, so AMD is your best choice here. Looking at your budget, your best bet is an fx-6300 with a quality Asus Mirco ATX motherboard. It has 6 cores and is clocked at 3.5 GHz, and should do well for rendering situations. If you have an extra $20-30 to spend, you can get an 8 core fx 8320 which is clocked at the same speed, but with 2 extra cores.

As for a GPu, it really depends on how much you want to spend. The FX series processors have no integrated graphics, so you will have to buy a discrete GPU. If you can spend $100, I would get a GTX 750ti. Otherwise, your best bet would be to go with a cheap, $60 R7 250. Best of Luck.

Great thanks, sorry but in my country those CPU are too expensive (fx-6300 is 110,99€). Could you tell me something cheaper under 90 € on amazon.it?
Anyway, I like the motherboard.

Ok thanks, maybe I'll wait to see if someone else can help me with that.
