Pc for Game Development

[LavishCosmos]

Hello everyone,

 

This is first time i am posting here. Sorry if i am posting in wrong place.

Ok so i am planning to build a new Workstation/Gaming Pc very soon.Please advise me with some good configuration for it. For most of the time i will be using Unreal engine 4 and Autodesk Maya 2016. I will be having two displays (most probably 24 inch Full HD or more). As i work on 3D modeling and lighting i would be requiring both CPU and GPU power. I am thinking of going dual GPU or one good single. Multi-tasking would be there between the applications.

 

So here is the thing.

 

My budget for the build is $4500 ( Only for tower)

 

Only Nvidia Cards and Intel processors

I need an Ultra tower. and liquid cooling. I was thinking for NZXT 820 or cooler master Cosmos II

 

Feel free to throw your recommendations.

 

Thanks in advance.

I would have a Quadro M4000/5000 and then a GTX 980ti, using the Quadro for rendering and CAD work and the 980ti for testing and general use.

[LavishCosmos]

what about having two 980 ti's as abdul has

mentioned

[Zeinone]

I'd go maybe like this because I'm building a game development PC as well including Cinema4D.

 

Asus MAXIMUS VIII 
INTEL i7 6700K 4.00 GHz 
Asus STRIX Gaming GTX 980 TI 6GB GDDR5 (IMO better price/perfomance ratio than the titan, and a titan in game development can be counter effective because not everyone has a titan)
Samsung SSD 850 PRO 256 GB 
HyperX 4*8GB Fury DDR4 2666-3000 MHz Dual-channel
SEAGATE Barracuda HDD 2TB SATA III 
EVGA SuperNOVA 650 GS 650W - 850 if going for an SLI 
Cooler is a choice of yours wether going for water cooling or a stock AIO like the h110i

 

Hope it helps since I'm a newbie as well.

Quadro M4000 is around $1.2K-2K CAD. I've search around the Net. Unless. He get one, and gtx 980?

I would prefer to stick to nvidia 980 ti

So basically your build has so many requirements that you know what you want already.. than why ask here

[LavishCosmos]

I know what i want. But i don't know that if it is a correct config or not.

[straight_stewie]

i7-6700, AsRock H170-X1, Corsair Vengeance 2X8GB DDR4-2133, 2 of the Zotac ZT-90503 (gtx 980 ti), Corsair RM 850X, Any 7200 rpm large disk you feel comfy with, a samsung or intel 1 TB SSD as boot drive. Pick your own case and your own windows.

The 980 TI is on Autodesks list as supported hardware. The parts I've listed (besides the ones where you have to choose) cost a total of 2499 CAN. you could easily be under budget.

Would that not work? Total for the graphics cards would be about $3000 CAD, leaving 1500 for the CPU and RAM and motherboard.
