khairulhasan1 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) Hi.. i am architecture student from Malaysia.. ive plan to build a computer to do my works. Just want to know if my system are good for my architecture works? Processor - intel i7-4770 3.4ghz MoBo - Asus Z87- Pro GPU - Nvidia Quadro K600 Memory - 2x8gb Kingston hyperX HDD - WD Black 1Tb PSu - Corsair CX650M For the works, I mainly use AutoCad 2D, Sketchup, 3Ds Max, Vray, C4D, Rhino, Photoshop and Illustrator.. and i dont play a video games on it. Im just not sure for the GPU. I have around usd450 for the GPU. (Sorry for my very bad english) Edited June 8, 2014 by khairulhasan1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyderSK Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Corsair CX is rather budget option, it's built by CWX for them, it's ok, but not really 'workstation grade'. If you're keen on Corsair, then the 'premium' AX series is built by Seasonic. Or go Seasonic directly. Good PSU is money well spent. Swap the low-key Quadro for any GTX your heart likes. Even 750Ti is good choice. The money you just saved on can keep you contemplating whether going 32GB ram directly isn't good move :- ) Imho, very much worth it nowadays. Will keep you comfortably swapping between few Max scenes open, lot's of photoshop tabs without any disk swap slowing the system down. Make sure to buy "low-profile" modules, Kingstone HyperX series has both. High profiles would not fit under any serious air cooler. Nice board, nothing against high-end models with me :- ) Z87 is now "obsolete" (well, in terms that you can the more for same price) and replaced by Z97. There are no rapid improvements, but it's more future-proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khairulhasan1 Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Are you sure about the gtx? Can it work well with the program that i used? Well as student, my 3D modeling works are not so complex.. if the gtx will run it , i will go on it.. and i will looking on the psu that you mention above...

Zdravko Barisic Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 ...and maybe 4970K, instead of 4770K, check the prices, it has 10% higher stock speed, and some OC limit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelmcwilliam Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 What is your budget (dollars/euro)? What is your monitor? How soon you're planning to buy the pc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimitris Tolios Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 - Go for a quality PSU - Seasonic / Corsair / Coolermaster V series - all Gold 80+ rated. You don't have to go 600-650...technically a 250-300W would do for a 4770 + GTX 750Ti + few disks etc (would actually draw 150 or less for the design work you are mentioning). I would not go less than a 500-550W "just in case" you want that beast of a card or CPU in the future, but that's that. - The GTX750Ti will do fine for what you want. It's a pretty good card with far better compute capabilities per watt than any Kepler (i.e. 6xx and 7xx GTX cards other than the 750Ti). It is not an amazing card, but I would refrain buying something really more expensive right now, as the new 8xx series will be out probably in 3 months or so. If you have $450 for GPU, I would get a 750Ti, and if I would need something "more" after trying it, I would sell it and get a 8xx. You might lose $50 or so in the process (no idea how it works in your country with prices ofc, YMMV), but you would probably lose more than that buying a $250+ 7xx GTX right now, and changing your mind in the short-term. I agree that the K600 is underpowered in general. Has its niches due to drivers, but that won't really help you for the suite of programs you will be using. - Don't get a Zxx board unless you plan on overclocking. A H81 / H91 etc chipset based board will do just fine, giving you 100% the same performance for your usage, and also save you some change. Same goes for the "K" series CPU. It is meant for overclocking. Doesn't mean that it won't work fine on stock speeds, only that you pay a 10% or so premium over the "non-K" model in most cases. Only pay it if you are going to use it. - Why save all these "little change" here and there? Get a 250/256GB SSD. Anything from Samsung / Crucial / Plextor you can afford. Put OS and your productivity apps on it, and enjoy a huge boost in responsiveness. Literally, this is the biggest impact in tangible performance you can get for your money. Keep the 1TB (or bigger) spindle HDD for storing your library of files/projects, launch apps and currently working on projects from the SSD.

I may have similar setup but I will go for 4930k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimitris Tolios Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Do you think gtx 750 will be enough?? I may have similar setup but I will go for 4930k Well, it really depends on your scenes/files and ofc each application responds differently. Yes, the 760 is faster, but it being a GPU with the same lithography and 2.5* the TDP, it better be! From the little I've seen, the GTX750ti is a respectable lil card, generally on par with the GTX 660 (still $50 cheaper) outside gaming and very good in compute - it actually stumbles over any GK104 card with ease, matching the GTX Titan in some compute metrics! At least Luxmark 2.0 loves the new Maxwell architecture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
