I'm planning on doing my 1st build, I'm a 3D designer / renderer ,I use programs like Google sketch up, Adobe programs,AutoCAD and 3d max . I play the odd game like GTA V and Fallout. I live in Hong Kong now so i can get my hands ob pretty good part for a good price, planning on spending around HK $6500 (US $840). I'm looking at getting the Fractal Design Define R4 (I just really love the look of it).
Just a few questions-
i5 or i7 ?
Would 16 gig ram be enough or go to 32gig (for rendering faster)?
What would be the best graphics card for me?
 
Solution
i7 for sure
(better yet if you can go for 5820K and 2011-3 platform , but you would have to increase your budget for that) .

you can get 16gb of memory for starters to save some money and upgrade to 32gb down the road .
gtx 950 will be enough for casual gaming .
