Good day everyone,
I'm looking forward on building a somewhat futureproof (but with a good price/performance ratio) render machine that will be mainly used for 3Ds Max+VRay/Corona render work but also Photoshop, After Effects/Premiere and other multitasking software. No gaming in mind. The processor is my main concern as I am currently looking at a 2700x or a 1920x, where the price difference would be around 375 US dollars (for the whole system) in my country. Another option would be to wait for the soon to be announced Intel 9900k of which recent Cinebench leaks suggest it could come close or even beat the 12 core 1920x. The rest of the components would be the exact same, adapted for socket+cooling and I won't mention them here seeing as they are not targeted by this question. The 2700x and 1920x would also be interesting due to the long term support of the current platforms as I would probably be able to upgrade them in 2 years time and use them as render nodes with cheaper mainboards+lower RAM+no GPU. So, which would you pick and why? o you think (based on current leaks) that it would be worth to wait for the 9900k?
Thank you in advance,
