Approximate Purchase Date: End of the month, sooner the better
Budget Range: ~$1000 USD, can be a bit more if necessary
System Usage from Most to Least Important: I'm a graduate student for architecture, so rendering + Adobe softwares +3d modeling
Parts Not Required: Keyboard / Mouse / Monitor
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: I have Amazon Prime but if other websites have better deals that's perfectly fine
Country: New York, US
Parts Preferences: I had a FirePro graphic card before but purchased long time ago, don't remember how many dedicated memory it has
Overclocking: Maybe (still learning about overclocking, what does it do general speaking?)
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe (probably not if I understand this right...I probably don't need extra graphics card but one?)
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments:
My requirments are as follow:
1. 8 cores will be ideal for rendering purpose, (I have heard computers can read 8 threads when rendering from 4 cores? why are the AMD FX multi-cores are so much cheaper than Intel CPUs? i.e. AMD FX-9590)
2. 8gb ram, (but seems like 16gb ram comes pretty cheap nowadays too?)
3. 2gb dedicated GPU with openGL, (GTX 1060 or GTX 970?)
4. want to be able to run dual monitors for modeling purposes
5. if within budget, I want to be able to have both HDD (for my files) and SSD (for my softwares), a hybrid drive?
Also,I'm trying to use this website to put things together but don't have much idea what I'm looking at...https://pcpartpicker.com...is this a good start?
First time posting, I'm a complete newbie in computer building...still reading through the sticky at this great forum. I want to thank you everyone in advance for your help! looking forward to hear your advice!
