i7-3930k is the best option for a cheaper system.

Thank u amuffin for ur answer regarding the cost I will be able to pay for intle workstation but what do u think
About the processor dual xeon 5690 better than i7 3930 or not

 

[amuffin]

the newer xeons are coming towards the end of the year, imo I would wait.

 

[radad02]

That's good opinion I can wait and I will read more about it thank u

 

[amuffin]

they will possibly have 8 cores and 16 threads. So if you run 2 of them, you get 32 threads rendering your 3d work!
