Hi folks,
I am a photographer/ Visual effects Artist/Programmer/ Designer. And I am looking to put together a workstation/Gaming Rig. I am looking at fast render times, smooth particle simulation work flow, HD Video editing and compositing and high resolution image editing. Also, I do not want to compromise on HD gaming as well.
I have put together a First build for this purpose as slated below. Now, my main concern here is, will the GTX 295 + Tesla C1060 co-exist?
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE:
in one month’s time
BUDGET : $3500
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT :
Intense 3D computing, Visual effects involving particle simulation, fluid Dynamics and Compositing, A lot of Photoshop work, software used includes 3Dx-Max, May, Houdini and Nuke. Also I want to use the system for serious gaming.
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS : Any website with decent review and good deals.
