Gaming, VR, and Computer Animation Rig ideas

LeeOwnE · Nov 6, 2016

Hello all,

I have hopes of getting some input on what I should do in regards to building my next rig.

I am currently in school for Computer Animation (Primarily 3D modeling among other forms). I will most likely be using my computer for personal projects. With that in mind I am also a fan of gaming, though lately it hasn't been anything too intense (Skyrim, Overwatch, minecraft, ect.) I want to make the leap to playing around with VR once I get a headset as well.

With all of that in mind I was curious about what parts would be best for something like This. I am not going to be throwing down money right away and will be building it over time.

One thing I was curious about is if I should push for a setup for 4K when I build or if I should stick with 1080 or 1440.

Thanks in advanced for the input!

King Dranzer :

Would like to keep it under $2,500, Although because I will be doing it over time budget is flexible. Especially for what I am looking to do.

It is over budget but I really did not want to go cheap on quality or looks. There is no rush take your time earn extra and go for it.

Why go for TITAN X PASCAL over GTX1080 or GTX1080 SLI??
The reason is that TITAN X PASCAL outperforms GTX1080 by 25% in professional work and games. To be honest it is the best GPU av available in the market and will remain for long. Reason is that it performs equally well in both gaming as well as professional work. NVIDIA claims it to be lot better than upcoming GTX1080Ti in professional work while falling behind by only a very small margin in games(that results were taken at base clocks OC results not yet revealed). TITAN X PASCAL is only to be placed in second place to Quadro P6000 for professional work(that doesn't require ECC coding) where as it performs lot better than Quadro P6000 in Gaming. This makes it ultimate GPU NVIDIA can provide.

Heard that GTX1080 SLI performs better than TITAN X PASCAL?
GTX1080 SLI performs better than TITAN X PASCAL by a small marginal gain. So instead of getting GTX1080 SLI if you get TITAN X PASCAL you can add second TITAN X PASCAL and get lot better performance than GTX1080 SLI.

That Case is overpriced?
That case is overprices because it comes with great quality. But that isn't the only reason I went with that case. That case can be useful as it has easy access to open side panel when you plan to switch between SLI and Non-SLI modes in future when you add second TITAN X PASCAL. When you add second TITAN X PASCAL then remember that for Gaming SLI performs best. But when doing professional work then you will have remove the SLI to get best performance. Don't do professional work using SLI on.

Any more doubts please feel free to ask
