Whats is the best CPU for rendering for around £300 or $445?

Hi Everyone   I was wondering if I could get some recommendation on a CPU that I could buy for around £300 or $445. I would be using it to run Maya, Z-brush, Adobe CC products (PSD, After Effects etc.) Mudbox, Nuke and Mari.   My Build: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/NxRVjX   Would I be better off buying a CPU with more cores?   For example Intel Core i7 Quad-Core i7-6700 3.4GHz Processor over Intel Core i7 Quad-Core i7-5820 3.3GHz Processor   Thanks everyone

star wars review

STARWARS SPOILER ALERT         Starwars: The Force Awakens is not the letdown I expected when it was first announced, it managed to live up to its hype without exceeding it and it is truly an awesome movie. I loved the Millennium Falcon returned, and how it was “inherited” by Rai, who I think truly is one of the best hero’s that the starwars universe will ever see. By the end of the movie Rai has complete confidence in the few “Jedi” abilities she has learned and has “opened” herself to th

system requirements for CallOfDuty Black Ops III for PC AMD side sucks

does system requirements for call of duty black ops 3 on the AMD side sucks the recommended requirement for the AMD processor is a AMD Phenom II x4 810 I have a AMD Phenom II x4 955 and it's not the Black Edition. Let's just say running the game on that processor sucks and I'm also using an R9 280x and I can't even put the game on Ultra settings because the processor is pinned at 100% in low setting

Pre-Christmas 2015 Setup

Nothing too fancy here, I'm hoping I'll have enough money after Christmas so I can get a 32" 4k monitor, or an ultra wide. I bought the LG back in may because both of my 24" monitors were getting horribly discolored so I kept the better of the two. I really wanted to buy another 27" LG monitor so they would match, but the 4K is really where I want to go, not for gaming but for the realestate, which I'd get more of with an ultra wide, but I'm just not so sure yet. If I had the money I'd get BOTH

Streaming console to Nvidia Shield/Steam Link through PC

Good day, Could you provide any information on how to stream Xbox1/PS4 games to any stream capable device outside of the PC or maybe even use my PC to stream a Xbox one game to play on my shield tablet without having to purchase and extras. Or are the extras needed? There are videos on YouTube on this that are from 2013(years old). Is there a newer more efficient way to stream console games to a stream friendly device? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Do you ever feel empty? Like you've missed a big chunk of your life? Lost something? Or Possibly someone?   Everyone has felt that sometime in their life... Unlike my Unfinished Pieces this is a little bit personal. Rather than laid back reading drafts of stories that never got completed, this is a developing one on its own, not that laid back and not that tense.   I had a friend back in Elementary School, we were practically best friends for 5 years, happy go lucky friends as we were young,

MECH PILOTS   The sun shine throughout the hangar as the blast door opens, bathing the Mech’s and their Pilots in orange tint of sunset. One by one the Mech’s flew out of the hangar with their rear thrusters at max speeds, I watched in excitement on a hill near my house. The Military Hangar was just a few kilometers away from my house, my dad was a hired Mechanic, we were provided with daily meals, a house, and work.

CHAPTER ONE – Prologue In the late 2789 a war broke out between nations and triggered an all-out Nuclear War. The world was left in despair, many lands remain un-inhabitable for ever so we moved to cramped spaces with mixed races and traditions. It didn’t work out well in the first place but after a while we got used to it. We started to change everything, dates, laws, race, and even traditions. Technologies are more advanced than before the War, because we joined hands with others to create a

Future Plans

So my system is finally at a point where I'm happy, I don't NEED to add anything at this point in time. However, I do WANT to upgrade to liquid cooling, but only if I can manage 60 degrees with a 4.5GHZ OC. I should probably do a better job at cable management. I will probably add 2 more fans at the bottom of the case and replace the 3 stock fans as well. I'd also like to add a white LED strip to the inside, because I'm trying to keep the look of the system between "gamery" and "professional" I

My First Computer

On my 11th birthday in May 14th, 2012 I received my first computer. That was probably one of my most exciting experiences because prior to this I was using a shared family laptop with terrible specs.The family laptop was a Toshiba with 4 gigabytes of ram and a 500 gigabyte hard drive which wasn't too bad but the processor was an older model Intel Pentium which combined with the other parts caused the windows experience index score to be a 2 or 3. The laptop I was gifted was an HP pavilion g7 wit

Cooler Upgrade

So this is something I'd planned on doing since I built the machine, when I built it I couldn't afford to spend the extra money on the cooler so I ran with the stock cooler for a month, today I bought the Hyper 212 EVO and the installation was well stressful. In recent weeks I'd noticed frame drops in GTA V on high settings with V-sync enabled (the way I've run it on this system since day 1) I'd never had frame drops last more than a second or so until a few weeks ago, I'd be at 30fps for 10 - 2

Another Day... Changes... New Beginnings...

A new entry, been some time... lot of changes in my life. Most of you have probably noticed my activity on the Forum has dropped off a lot over the past while. Not nearly as involved in the Folding section as I want to be. I really need to thank @tobben and @Imakuni for all their help in supporting the folding team and users on the forum.   This past fall my wife and I separated. It was something coming for a long time. I am doing much better now. But of course had to scramble, lot of changes
