Hi guys, I'm hoping I can get the best advice here for relevant parts. I was hoping to spend around $1500. I already have hard drives. I will use rhino, 3dsmax, revit, and adobe cs, autocad, photoshop, sketchup and I render primarily with v-ray through Rhino. I need to build this machine in the next couple weeks - can't wait for DDR and so on.
I'm not sure about the video card. It is probably too much but I want to get into real-time rendering.
This will be a hackintosh and i intend to use all windows programs through a virtual machine.
