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

MOBO: ASUS P9X79

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0064L8UJM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_9?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

 

GPU: quadro k600

+gtx 460 se 1gb

 

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

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

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

 

Ram: Corsair 16gb (2x8gb) 1866mhz

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D2LGRO2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

 

PSU: 700w Thermaltake

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008MF4RJU/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=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.

Ouch...then your rig is good. I would have held out but seems that that won't happen in your situation.

You could buy the hardware in person and have them ship it to your home.

i am staying in disney hotels, i thought it would be better to buy from here argentina, and ship to the hotel then i will carry them back with me and my family baggage, i think the motherboard and the psu i will be bound to show to the police here because of the size. but since both are less than 300U$D and we are 4 in my family i think there would be no problems. the only thing that goes over the price its the cpu if they see it in the box its probable that they charge me the taxes
