Need Suggestions

Hello

 

So my cousin wants to buy a new PC to help with her rendering in various programs, since shes an Architecture Engineer she uses (Revit 2015). (AutoCAD 2015) & (Lumion 3D).

 

So I was wondering what kind of hardware are good in terms of rendering times between prices of 1500$ and 2000$ ?

 

Thanks in advance

 

EDIT: May include a little explanation of why you picked those items, thanks

Would not recommend liquid cooling with an inexperienced user.

Noctua ND H14?

Extra 2 cores can help quite a bit in programs that take advantage of it

Hello

 

Sorry for the bump of an old topic but I need suggestions again.

 

Would it be better if I used Intel Core i7-5930K Processor 3.5GHz 0GT/s 15MB instead of the Intel Core i7-5820K 3.3GHz  ? 

 

What does the 15MB cache do to help me out rendering in programs ? 

 

Thanks in advance
