  1. Yes, I'd use the 970 as a placeholder until I can buy 980/8GB. The thing is, I am not nearly good or knowledgeable enough to fully utilize such an expensive machine at the moment. There is no point in buying a 3500e worth of equipment to have it just sit there. I do need a CPU/Mobo setup that won't create bottlenecks when, in a year or two, I decide to switch over to GPU rendering. Right now I am wondering about 5820k and it's low clock speed compared to 4790k. I understand that 3D rendering and video editing are very dependent on the number of cores and use hyper-threading. The price difference between the two is not that big.
  2. Thanks, Nikolaos. I'll definitely check out the X99 motherboard 5930K combo. Better PSU sounds logical. I can't wait for the 8GB GTX, so I'll probably go with the 4GB one for now. I'm used to working with 2 monitors. Super thankful!
  3. Hi, I'm relatively inexperienced, but managed to make a list of components. At first I wanted to buy two computers and in time create my own little render farm, but decided to invest in an overall good machine which I can use properly straight away and after a while get a few more graphics cards for GPU-based rendering. I will be using 3ds Max, Zbrush, RealFlow, After Effects. It would be great if I could get a few opinions on it, in terms of major component compatibility. Money is not really an issue, but I wouldn't want to throw it away on stuff I don't really need. CPU: i-4790k GC: MSI GeForce GTX 970 Gaming 4G, 4GB GDDR5, RAM: 16GB HyperX FURY Black 1866MHz DDR3 Non-ECC CL10 DIMM, SSD: Kingston SSD 240GB Hyper X 3K Series, Case: Chieftec BH-01B-U3-OP Miditower Case Bravo, PSU: Corsair CP-9020051-EU VS Series 650 Watt, 2 Monitors: ASUS VS239H-P 23-Inch Full-HD and I need a motherboard that can support 3 or 4 graphics cards. Apologies for any mistakes in formatting this thread (or blatant display of ignorance on my part). Thanks!
