Hello Everyone, I recently built my first rig for programs I use in my spare time ie; Cinema 4D, Blender and Maya. I am looking to achieve faster rendering times and am looking for help with what to change in my computer to accomplish this. This is my build: i7 6700 @ 3.4GHz,
MSI Z170A M5, Corsair DDR4 2x8, Asus Strix GTX 1060 OC 6GB.
Should I add more ram? Should I dump the 1060 for two GTX 980ti or a Titan X?
I do zero gaming on this.
Thx

Perhaps a Ryzen upgrade? CPU and GPU in rendering can be important depending on what type you are specifically doing, from what i've seen things like CAD and Visual Rendering is pretty intense on the GPU but Modelling and Animation can really benefit from a strong CPU and so far Ryzen 7 has been an exceptional workstation series and more affordable then the X99 i7s. This would be what i would do. Grab something like a Ryzen 7 1700/1800 and you can still use your current RAM kit unless you want to get more capacity or a faster kit which could help in some applications. Then upgrade your GPU later. Just my opinion, hope this helps :)

Ryzen competes and sometimes beats even the 8 Core i7s in workstation applications so that would be a better option for OP not to mention a 7700K would be only a slight improvement over his current 6700. Only reason to get a 7700K would be keeping his current motherboard.

Here is some Rendering/Transcoding Benchmarks > http://www.anandtech.com/show/11170/the-amd-zen-and-ryzen-7-review-a-deep-dive-on-1800x-1700x-and-1700/18

The lowest Ryzen 7 - The 1700 beats the 7700K in 6 out of 7 of the workstation benchmarks. In half it additionally beats the X99 i7 6800K.
