Need a new CPU for next year for rendering in MAYA and After Effects.
Im currently running an AMD x4 Phenom II but the more I learn the slower my render times. I have around £350 to spare on a new board and CPU but I really don't know what to go for.
My choices are:-
i)Intel Core i7 3770k with Z77 board
ii)AMD Bulldozer x8 (would work on my current board but I need to upgrade for more RAM space.
iii)...Or wait for the new AMD "Piledriver" series?
Would I see any large performance differences with an upgrade?
Im currently using 6GB of DDR3 RAM but I plan to upgrade this to 16GB for next year. Im also running a NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450. Do you think my 750w PSU would be enough? Or would I need to pick up something more powerful?
Sorry for being a pest guys, any help would be very much appreciated. THANK YOU!
