Greetings all! I am building a machine for multimedia design, e.g. ALL Adobe applications, Maya, Boujou, etc.. This is not my first build but I usually choose parts based on compatablity and reviews rather than their intended use. That is what brings me here.
Requesting: Advice on the MB, CPU, RAM and GPU
Recycled: Case, 6Gb/s Drives, Peripherals, OS, PSU (630W, will buy new if needed)
Budget: $800 for MB, CPU, RAM and GPU
Use: I'm looking for optimal render and preview time during video and motion graphics work. I might play a game or two as well.
Monitors: 2 @ 1920 x 1080
For your reference, this is what I have been using.
ASUS M4A87TD EVO AM3 AMD 870 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model
MSI N460GTX Cyclone 768D5/OC GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) 768MB 192-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16
Thanks!
