1. Is the rendering software CPU or GPU based?

Answer. Some software uses CPU and Some uses GPU so in that case i want a powerful system best for both condition.

2. What is the typical file size?

Answer. 1GB+ sometimes. when i have a high poly model. high res textures of 4k to 6k resolution and fluid interaction.

3. What is the software used to produce the 3D model?

Answer. I use maya and zbrush for modeling.
pf track n mocha for tracking, after effects and nuke for Compositing, premier for editing, maya, real flow and houdini for simulation.

4. What country?

Answer. India.

Abhay_8756,

Sorry for the delay in replying.

It seems that to make a useful recommendation will require knowing the likely sources that would be used for parts. It's necessary to know the prices to know the parts options.

The first idea is that a system with both CPU and GPU rendering and given the need for both 3D modeling- which requires a fast CPU, and extraordinary file size of 1GB, should be a dual E5-2600 Xeon of two six or eight cores.

The problem is cost as new CPU's could easily be more than half the budget.

1. Is it practical to buy used Xeon E5 CPU's?

2. Can you buy a used Dell Precision T7600 or HP z620 or z820 ?

It's not certain, but the best idea for the proposed system may be to have a single 8-core Xeon (possibly E5-1660 v4 (8C @ 3.2 /3.8GHz) on an X99 motherboard, 64GB of RAM, 2X GTX 1070, a fast M.2 SSD or large Samsung 850, and appropriately sized mech'l HD storage, 750W PSU. Perhaps:

Eventually, this could have 128GB RAM and 2X Quadro M4000 ( = 16GB and 3,338 CUDA cores)

This could be done with 32GB of RAM, the Samsung 850 Evo as main drive (deletes Samsung 950), and GTX 1070 (8GB, 1,920 CUDA) to start, for about $2,400.

Just to start the conversation.

Hello,

1. Is it practical to buy used Xeon E5 CPU's?

Answer: No i don't want to buy any used part.

2. Can you buy a used Dell Precision T7600 or HP z620 or z820 ?

Answer: No. I want to buy a new system.

First of all Thanks a lot for your suggestions. I have few questions i want to ask and also want to share my self created list for my cutom pc. please take a look and tell me if there's any upgrade available to do in my list. here's -

-dual Xeon e5 2690 v4 processor
-Asus Rampage V Edition motherboard
-Corsair AX1200i power supply
-Nvidia TitanX 12GB graphic card
-WD 2TB internal HDD
-Samsung 500GB SSD
-Corsair 4x 16GB ddr4 RAM
-Phantek enthoo pro case
-dell 21.5" monitor

the problem with this list is i have to degrade my Graphic card and Processor to keep the final price in my budget. my friend is using "intel corei7 5820k haswell-e 6-core 3.3GHz lga 2011 v3 140w for ddr4" processor and "Gigabyte Gtx980ti 6GB gddr5" graphic card.

Q. the parts mentioned in my list are compatible with each others and work fine when combined.

Q. what if i use intel corei7 5820k processor and GTX 980Ti 6GB graphic card in replacement with xeon processor and titan X graphic card. because they are too costly. i can upgrade them later.

Accordingly please tell me now whats best for me in my budget.


thanks

Hello,

I want a one time investment pc. that means i don't want to buy any part with a lower configuration. Except processor and graphic card i can afford every other part to it's best version. Like-

Processor - best in i7 or xeon e5 1660 v4 (as you have mentioned in your previous list)

GPU - 6GB or more (which I can multiply in future)

Motherboard - asus motherboard (which will support dual xeon e5 2690 v4 and have more than 2 slots for GPU, and multiple ssd slots)

RAM - 64GB or 128GB

PSU - accordingly

CPU cooler - liquid cooling or other accordingly

SSD - Samsung 500GB or more

HDD - 2TB internal hard drive

Case - accordingly from Cooler Master or Corsair

OS - windows 7 64-bit (best version)

(i already have an external dvd writer so i don't want to invest on that.)

Can you please tell me how much the system will cost according to this list, with i7 and with single xeon, with 64gb ram and with 128 gb ram.)

I don't want to change any part in future, All i want is just right now leave some space for future upgrade.
I can use 1 graphic card now with 2 other slots left on motherboard.
I can use an i7 or a single xeon processor with one other socket left on motherboard.

So then in future if i have to go for an upgrade, i don't have to change my motherboard or case or GPU.

Please tell me according to this how much this system will cost with each part's price also


thanks

Hello,

alright. now let's make a final list with step by step clarification.

let's start from motherboard.
for motherboard-
my requirements:
1. two processor slots
2. dual xeon e5 2690 v4 supportable
3.Titan X 12GB supportable
4. two+ gpu slots
5. (8x16gb) 128GB ddr4 ram supportable
6. brand must be Asus.
7. affordable

according to this suggest me one best motherboard and it's price.

l also want to ask that can i run this motherboard with a single i7 processor?

Hard drive and SSD is fixed:
-WD 2TB Desktop internal hard drive
www.amazon.in/WD-Black-Desktop-Internal-Drive/dp/B004O8VCDI

-Samsung 850 EVO 500GB internal SSD
www.amazon.in/Samsung-2-5-Inch-Internal-MZ-75E500B-AM/dp/B00OBRE5UE

after deciding motherboard i will ask the best i7 processor with 8 cores.
i want to decide and calculate things one by one.


thanks
