  1. I've made few updates to my build considering your comments, and now it looks like this: CPU: Intel Core i7 4930K Extreme Hex Core Cooler: Thermalright Silver Arrow SB-E MoBo: Asus P9X79 PRO GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 770 SC 4GB RAM: Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 32GB (4 x 8GB) Memory Kit PC3-15000 1866MHz DDR3 DIMM SSD: SSD 256 GB SAMSUNG 840 PRO HDD: HDD 2TB WD BLACK Case: FRACTAL DESIGN DEFINE R4 PSU: Corsair AX760 System: Windows 7 64 bit Pro Monitor: Dell u2413 This build costs £2121 which would leave me an option to get second Dell u2413 or maybe something like NEC PA241W + one very cheap display. But is NEC really that much better than Dell or Asus (it costs almost 2 times more)? Thanks for your input Kadri. You are probably right that this is an overkill, but I'll stick to it If you don't mind, could you explain what's wrong with Samsung SSD? Oh, that's good news That makes buying EVGA GTX card a good choice if they will release 6GB version in next 90 days, since they have a step-up program. Thank you guys.
  2. Thank you very much numerobis and Zdravko! Very useful links. I'll check prices and update my build. As for the GPU. I really like Multilight feature in Maxwell and I'd like to give it a go. I've found out today that in Maxwell Render v3 they introduced Fast Multilight display which is GPU accelerated, so I guess having a card with 4GB RAM would be a good idea? Just one more question. Is GTX770 4GB RAM card actually better for GPU rendering than GTX780ti which has only 3GB RAM? As for a dual display setup - I really like the idea. I have a 27'' monitor at work and many times I feel like it's still not enough space. I was considering getting another monitor later, but maybe if i'll save some money on GPU I'll be able to squeeze 2nd cheaper monitor into my current budget.
  3. Hi guys, I’m new to this forum. Recently I’ve started learning rendering but my good ol’ laptop is very slow and makes learning process very frustrating. So I decided to invest in a workstation. It’s been a while since I bought any computer so my knowledge about components is definitely not up to date. I did some research and came up with a build that probably will suit my needs, but before I order anything I was hoping you could give me some advices and help to clear out my confusion about some parts. It looks like you guys know a lot about hardware so your input would be very much appreciated. I will be using 2D AutoCAD, Sketchup + Vray or Maxwell (haven’t decided yet), Photoshop (post production and digital painting) and probably 3dsmax in the future. I will be focusing mainly on interiors visualizations as this is something that would be very useful in my current job. Budget: £2400-2500 including monitor CPU: Intel Core i7 4930K Extreme Hex Core Cooler: Thermalright Silver Arrow SB-E MoBo: Asus P9X79 PRO That mobo seems to be hard to get in the UK. There’s none of them on ebay and Amazon. Few online stores I’ve checked were out of stock and I’ve read somewhere that this mobo was discontinued. Could you recommend another mobo in a similar price range in case I won’t be able to get P9X79 PRO? GPU: QUADRO k4000 or GTX760/770/780/780ti? This is the biggest headache for me. I did the research but I’m still not sure what would be the right choice in my case. Is quadro worth the extra money or would GTX card be good enough for my needs? There’s a big price difference between GTX770 and quadro. Even GTX780ti is £160 cheaper. RAM: Corsair CML32GX3M4A1600C10B Vengeance Low Profile 32GB (4x8GB) DDR3 1600 Mhz CL10 XMP SSD: SSD 256 GB SAMSUNG 840 PRO HDD: HDD 2TB WD BLACK Case: FRACTAL DESIGN DEFINE R4 PSU: Corsair AX760 or RM750 or RM650 To be honest I have no idea which PSU I should use. Would 650W be enough for that build or do I need more power considering that I’d like to overclock the CPU? System: Windows 7 64 bit Pro Monitor: Dell u2413 or Asus PA248Q I’m leaning more towards Dell but I’m also open for any suggestions of other monitors in £300-400 price range. Thank you in advance.
