Hi,
I'm looking for some suggestions about a build that would be primarily for 3D rendering, something not mindblowingly expensive but with a lot of room to upgrade in the future.
I have a mouse, 1080p monitor, laptop right now, and I'm looking into building something over the next year that would support this rendering software: https://home.otoy.com/render/octane-render/
It's GPU based, right now I use CPU based rendering software which naturally runs slow as molasses on my laptop, and so the idea of being able to dramatically increase rendering speed by just adding more video cards is really attractive.
I like maybe the NZXT h440 case, other than that no real preferences, other than that the specs on this renderer specs state that "OctaneRender requires a CUDA enabled NVIDIA video card" so I guess it has to be that, and a motherboard that supports 3 or 4 GPUs (so I'd start with one and add a new card every once in a while to bump it up). Any suggestions? I would really appreciate hearing the reasoning behind any recommendations as well.
Budget: maybe, 1200 to begin with, but with upgrading over the next few years with new GPU's.
Thanks in advance!!
