Computer Spec

[mikeford]

I'm sure people are sick of these posts now, i've been through plenty myself to try work out what is best for my line of work but a little help would be much appreciated. I currently use sketchup with vray but i'm starting to use 3ds max more to do my visuals and i'm now looking to upgrade my computer at work. We are restricted to dell mostly so after a bit of searching around have put together a package I think would be suitable. Anyone who uses 3ds Max & vray regularly, would this be a suitable platform to work with..

That's pretty much my setup at the office, except you've got a more up-to-date CPU and more RAM.

 

Works wonders for me.
