Hi there, I am looking for to invest into a new machine. Could you suggest what the best specs I need to have so computer will not suffocates itself during renderings.

Revit, Max, Rhino, VRay, Adobe Suite, AutoCad.

PC preferably but MAC is ok too. Thank you very much

Well wit that budget you may take a look at the Dell precision series, something with 2 x Xeon Quad or Six Cores, with a Quadro K4000 or so it will be a hardcore rendering machine. Now if you want a little better performance on Photoshop or other application with single core optimized, Maybe an i7 OC would be a better option.

At my office we have Dells Six cores and they rock rendering, we compared to a Boxx i7 extreme OC and Dell are a few second faster to rendering. But the Boxx has better performance on After effects, Photoshop and similar because the OC CPU.

Still the differences are so minimal that I rather work on the Dell with the Xeons.

780 can be downgraded to a 770 for no real loss in viewport, real loss in VRay RT, or upgraded to a slightly more expensive K4000 that should be better in stuff other than newer 3DS 2014.
