Thoughts on this PC setup?


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

Ive been looking at a new setup for archi viz modelling and rendering in 3ds max and vray. Have come across this setup which seem well priced.

 

http://www.trademe.co.nz/computers/desktops/no-monitor/auction-756425415.htm

 

in summary, it has the following:

 

CPU: Intel i7 9790K 4.0Ghz/4.4Ghz turbo core x 4 Quad Core LGA 1150 8MB Cache

MOTHERBOARD: Gigabyte /Asus Intel Z97

MEMORY: 16GB DDR3 1866

SSD: 256GB solid state HD

VIDEO CARD: EVGA/ Gigabyte Geforce GTX770 2GB GDDR5

 

Questions:

1. Is it really worth having a CPU with 6 or 8 cores instead of the 4? It seems like a big price jump unless you go with a AMD CPU.

2. Ive yet to use a PC with a SSD. I presume it is worth having this for Windows and software installed to?
