Hello,
I've started to learn 3D and my computer can handle the work up until one point. I'm on a mac at the moment and I would like to build/buy a pc that can handle a lot of modelling/rendering.
I'm working in Blender 3D right now and I'm planning to go with Autodesk Maya at some point. I would like to do 3d animations not just images so I would need quite a lot of power.
I have found this refurbished configuration that comes for £1099:
HP Z620 Workstation
Processor (CPU):
2 x Intel Xeon E5-2650 V1 Eight (Octa) Core - 2.00GHz Processor - 8GT/s QPI - 20MB SmartCache - 2.80GHz Turbo Frequency (16 Cores)
Memory (RAM):
64GB DDR3 RAM (8 * 8GB)
Hard Disk Drive:
256GB Micron C400 6GB/s SSD & 1000GB SATA Hard Drive
Graphics
NVidia Quadro 5000 GDDR5 2.5GB Graphics Card - DVI / Display Port Output - 1536 CUDA Cores
Power 800 Watt Wide Ranging 90% Efficient Power supply.
Is it worth buying this one as the processors are V1 or should I go for a newer processor even if it's not a Xeon?
Can this configuration can be updated in the future or I will need a different setup? Is it worth to invest in a refurbished workstation?
And finally - should I go for an i7 instead of a Xeon processor? I don't have too much knowledge since I've used a mac lately which it's not up for the task anymore.
My budget is around £1300 so I can't go for a very expensive workstation unfortunately.
If you've got any suggestions I would appreciate it. Many thanks.
