@ Juraj,
I have been looking into the i7-4930k ( 6 cores / 12 treads ) vs the i7-4770k ( 4 cores / 8 treads ). The i7-4930k has a theoritical 35% higher cinebench 11.5 than the latter if i must believe the benchmarks. Believe the cinebench 11.5 is the render speed !?? Still don't really understand where rendering takes its advantage in the CPU, the extra cores or the treads ???
Don't I limit myself with the 2011 socket for the i7-4930k for possible future upgrades ??
The i7-4930k also comes at + € 230 over the i7-4770k. My puzzler is ; What ever CPU it will be, its going to be my first overclock CPU. Just think its a lot of money for the first time around, possibilties for mistakes are high, warrenties, etc, but of course that's the dive i'm taking. Think both CPU are great, one faster than the other, but at this moment think that I'll have to take the i7-4770k to it's full potential, getting my setting right in Vray RT and than hit render for the night.
Also got a tip for the possibility on a Dual CPU setup 2x Xeon. Get the impression that it isn't used that much. Well, now know that the price is the show stopper and your talking major league. Besides the price, isn't a Dual CPU depended of a lot of different features to really get it's full potential of such a setup ?
Yes, really believe that Vray RT can save me a lot of time due to the direct feedback vs setting up / test render / setting up again, etc etc. Nice to know that i'm on the right track with the GTX 760. Please correct me if i'm wrong, but believe i read somewhere that the 4GB version ( + € 100 ) is acctually a 2x2GB and therefore in practice only 2Gb, that would be money bad spend !!
If i understand u well, I could do less than 750W, just take a lower PSU with gold standard ??
I'll lookup the Quadro vs GTX discussions. As far as I understand the Quadro is strong in building your 3D scene and swiffeling around. Future aspirations for Revit /3Ds max / BIM modeling will probably corner me to Quadro cards.
Was thinking for a Samsung 840 Pro-256 GB. Install Win 7/8 + applications and a copy of current working projects. See a lot of recommandations for this setup, seems the way to go ! 2x 3TB HDD, 1x3TB for files and the other 3TB for backup.
@ Benjamin,
Thanks for the surge spikes issue. Is this due to a cheap PSU ! You work with a NAS als backup ??
Wondering if putting a WD red, advocated as a special HDD for NAS wil also be suited for a desktop ?? Im thinking why not ?
