Hi everyone, I wasn't quite sure which forum to put this thread into, but basically I'm looking into ordering a workstation from PC Specialist for the purposes of 3D modelling (mainly 3DS Max) and also a bit of rendering (Autodesk Showcase, Bunkspeed, V-Ray, etc). I thought that I should go on a few websites to get some advice on the hardware in the build prior to taking the plunge and actually ordering the workstation. The build is based on a pre-designed workstation on the PC Specialist website intended for the purposes of modelling in 3DS Max, although I have made a few changes myself:
Case: Fractal Define R5 Black Case (Ultra quiet, helps with noise from the Quadro graphics card)
CPU: Intel Xeon 8-Core E5-2630V3 (2.4GHz, 8.00GT/s, 20M L3 Cache)
Motherboard: ASUS X99-E WS: SOCKET 2011-V3, DDR4, USB 3.0,
Memory: 16 GB HyperX Fury DDR4 2133MHz (4 x 4GB)
Graphics: PNY Quadro M2000 4GB GDDR5, 768 Cores 1st
Hard Disk: 960GB HyperX Fury SAVAGE SSD
2nd Hard Disk: 1TB SATA-III HDD
Power Supply: Corsair 450W VS SERIES VS-450
Power Supply Cooling: Noctua NH-D15S Ultra Quiet Performance CPU Cooler
Total Price: £2,350 (Including VAT) - This will be financed, and will cost approximately £71.85 per month, with a £235 deposit.
This build essentially takes on board advice I have been given with regards to including the Xeon processor, due to the fact that the computer will be used as a workstation for 3D modelling, and will not be used for gaming. I've also changed the graphics card to a Quadro M2000, again with regards to the fact that the workstation will be used for 3D modelling, and not gaming (hence the graphics card not being a GTX-XXX, for example).
So what do you guys think?
Any thoughts and/or advice would be much appreciated.
