New Workstation/gaming Build

 

Posted 11 July 2014 - 12:24 PM

Hey guys,

im from argentina and im planning to buy a few things in my trip to orlando to update mi pc. I use Rhinoceros and Solidworks for 3d modeling and Keyshot (a purely Cpu renderer) for rendering.

I have

CPU: Core i5 2500

Mobo: Asus p8p67pro

Ram: 8gb (2x4gb) 1333 mhz Kingston ddr3 

HDD: 500gb seagate barracuda

         1tb seagate barracuda

GPU: Gtx 460 se 1gb from EVGA

 

Staying with my old sentey case (yes i dont have much money to spend but i will try to change it in the future)

 

I am attempting to upgrade it to (i will give the i5 pc to my sis staying with the gtx 460se for a few games):

 

CPU: I7 4930k

http://www.amazon.co...d=AHKAAUFS1KKJ0

MOBO: ASUS P9X79

http://www.amazon.co...d=ATVPDKIKX0DER

 

GPU: quadro k600

http://www.amazon.co...=A3JEKQLX9Y2C9L

+gtx 460 se 1gb

 

Cooler: Noctua Ultra Silent CPU Cooler Cooling NH-U9B SE2

http://www.amazon.co...d=AZCEI3EMXUPTH

 

HDD: (not sure if im staying with the 1tb barracuda)

http://www.amazon.co...d=ATVPDKIKX0DER

 

Ram: Corsair 16gb (2x8gb) 1866mhz

http://www.amazon.co...d=ATVPDKIKX0DER

 

PSU: 700w Thermaltake

http://www.amazon.co...ATVPDKIKX0DER 

 

 

Is this config ok? what do you think, Im trying to reduce my time in 3d modeling, my i5 2500 does it fine but its an unique oportunity to upgrade it and i dont know if a i7 4770k or an i7 4790k will be worth it.

I've been looking for a cheaper and more balanced rig and these are the specifications that seem more logic:

 

Cpu: Core i7 4790k

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KPRWAX8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_6?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Motherboard asus z97 pro

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K2R6GDQ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Gfx Card1: EVGA gtx 760 2gb (if my parents don't borrow me all the money I will stay with my old gtx 460 se that is doing fine in 1080p for my needings in gaming)

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DHW4HXY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Gfx Card2: Quadro k600

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BLTE8HK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3JEKQLX9Y2C9L

Cooler: Noctua Ultra Silent CPU Cooler Cooling NH-U9B SE2

http://www.amazon.co...d=AZCEI3EMXUPTH

HDD:  My old500gb barracuda seagate  and a WD Blue caviar 1tb

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0088PUEPK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_6?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

SSD Samsung 840 evo series 250gb (does it really makes the difference?)

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E3W1726/ref=ox_sc_act_title_7?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

RAM: Corsair 16gb 2x8gb 1866mhz

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D2LGRO2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_9?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

PSU: Corsair cx600

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0092ML0OC/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

 

Total:1440 U$D

very unbalanced cpu to gpu ratio, if you are still using a cpu based render er i suggest that you dont even get that junk quadro, spend it on a 760 or 280, maybe cut back you ssd size and spend for a 280x or something, and the extra speed ram may he but corsair vengeance is overpriced because it has a nice heat sync get this ram instead

the quaddro is not for rendering, its for the opengl viewports, it is it better than any gtx card in that aspect, and for directx apps based i will still have the gtx 760.

would the gtx 760 not be able to do that, i dont kow much about quadros becaseu they are not really for gaming, but if a 760 could do that then why spend 150$ on a card that has 1 use

The link will not work in IE 11. It has a couple of unprintable characters at the end which need to be removed.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
