HELP! New PC Spec recommendation!

[karthikduvvuru]

I am a Architecture Student and also a avid gamer.....iam planning to replace my old pc (HP p7-1030in) and build a new one.

My Budget is abt 1500$ max.......pls recommend me all the hardware specs...it has to be a balance between my work (software mainly like autodesk products, vray renders & lumion)

and also be able to play the spec hungry games.....thanks

 

PS: ​pls recommend the PC case, CPU, GPU, ram, power supply, storage configuration and also the cooling system.

I live in Hyderabad, India so pls guide me with the hardware available over here.

All depends, which side of you is bigger gamer? (6700k) or architect? (5820k)

For case, if you wanna go mini then the sg13 from SS, but for ATX either the Define R5( my fav) or Corsair Air 540.

[Morgan MLGman]

Nah, the 5820k is a better all-around choice so no 6700k.

[Predrag]

Gpu - just get a high class one like the gtx 970 or something.

Ram - 2x8gb of whatever you prefer, I like Gskill.

Psu - Go for something modular, like the RM series from corsair or EVGA SuperNOVA lineup.

Well, for work YES for games NOT SO MUCH, it all depends on what he wants.

[Predrag]

And YES the 5820k is really balanced

which one offers me more juice for rendering???

No, it's a better choice even for gaming. I'm not saying you'll get more FPS, but you'll get a more powerful CPU for basically the same money and it's more than enough for gaming. 2-3 FPS is no difference for a 30% faster CPU

5820k is up to 30% faster across all cores.

thanks mate...... motherboard recommendation for the CPU?

for the gpu going with 2 gtx 970 in sli offer me better performance?? iam fine with spending a couple of dollars more because having more cuda cores would also help in 3d modelling i guess!!

wat about the ram clock speed....and going 32gb will offer me better performance?

That isnt couple bucks more that is a shit ton. You wont really fit in the 1500 mark. If you want to go over it, just get a gtx 980 Ti, it is enough for everything, ask all the pros, they use a single gtx 980Ti.

Hardly, unless you are thinking about smaller than miliseconds. Linus made a video about this, there is no noticable difference between 16gb and 128gb.

okayy thanks mate

Neither is there a noticable difference in clock speeds.
