I'm not sure how I've made do with this rig for so long.. I do a lot of 3d, rendering, modeling, etc (Film production kinda stuff), sometimes reaching tens of millions of polygons.
My rig runs EXTREMELY slowly under a heavy work load.. or at least heavy for my system. Crashes occur often, 60% of somewhat major operations will freeze or in some crash my PC. Fun aye?
My position at the moment leave a few options.
- Upgrade this snail of a PC on a budget, CPU namely.
- Wait 6 month- a Year and build a monster PC, with no budget.
I suppose I'm just asking, should I waste some money now to keep my sanity whilst working. OR just endure the pain for a year.
Is my system worth upgrading?
Thanks in advance, sorry for the illiterate post, haven't slept in a few days
Specs as of now.
2 monitors running, corsair 430w PSU, i think...
