Hi guys!

 

I was just thinking... I'll be ordering my computer in a week, but is there a possibility to get x99 based computer for rendering, 3d animations and AE VFX work.

 

My current configuration for computer is:

 

CPU: i7 4790k

MOTHERBOARD: ASUS z97-pro (Wi-Fi)

PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA NEX750G G2

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo 

RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro (2x8gb)

CASE: NZXT s340

GPU: Asus GeForce GTX 980 Strix

CASE FANS: 2x be quiet! Pure Wings 2 (140mm)

 

I don't need SSD and HDD.

 

Challenge:

I want to see if it's possible to get simmilar/better performance with x99 setup for about 1000$ (no GPU included in price)

 

Do you think It's possible?

 

Thanks!

CPU: i7 5820K Motherboard: MSI x99A SLI PLUS RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR4 2800mHz (4x4gb) GPU: MSI GeForce  GTX 980Ti Case: NZXT S340 Storage: 840 Evo 120gb and WD Blue 1TB  PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA G2 850W CPU Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock 3

Do you actually know what the benefits of X99 are? Basically more PCI lanes and that's about it. So with one card it doesn't really make a whole lot of a difference.

 

The only other thing is that X99 CPUs tend to be more powerful. So I would just recommend a 5820K and a MSi X99 SLI PLUS or if you have more money a 5960X and a ASUS X99 DELUXE.
