thats the last thing to use when rendering a model

use your GPU when possible as it's quicker 10-fold and in the case if some programs using certain GPUs can produce more detailed or cleaner models

you should only use CPU render if something is wrong with the system and can't render the model via the GPU due to a hardware or software fault

CPU rendering is sometimes used for final output as it can be capable of higher quality results. Even when they do not produce higher quality results, CPU rendering engines are often able to deal with much more complex scenes correctly.

Hey Guys, I went with this config. HDD will come later when I need it. The I ended up going with 3200 Mhz DDR4 because it had more support. It's pretty weird how the whole DDR4 system works. After checking everything over twice I ordered this together with some arctic silver cooling paste, windows home 64 bit, and a monitor (AOC 27" 4K Ultra HD Monitor U2777PQU) Next week I'll probably open a new topic showing it off. GIGABYTE AORUS GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Xtreme Edition 11G
AMD Ryzen 7 1800X
Corsair Carbide Air 740
be quiet! Dark Power Pro 11 650W, 650 Watt PS (I hope 650W will cut it lol)
ASUS PRIME X370-PRO, socket AM4 Motherboard
G.Skill 32 GB DDR4-3200 Kit, RAM
be quiet! Dark Rock 3, CPU fan WD Blue 1TB SSD
Thanks to everybody who helped me make decisions, especially the people who recommended AMD's Ryzen. That saved me a lot of cash, and allowed me to buy the extreme 1080ti which I am going to absolutely adore.   You'll hear from me!

We have both Ryzen R7 1800x & X99 5820 system for 3ds Max rendering using vray. Ryzen is almost 50% faster for us.
