New Workstation Specs

[kusa]

Hi everyone.

 

I am trying to build a new workstation.

I typically use AutoCAD, Photoshop, Revit, 3DS Max with vray.

 

 

Intel Core i7-5820K Haswell-E 6-Core 3.3GHz LGA 2011-v3 140W

 

PNY Quadro K620 VCQK620-PB 2GB 128-bit

 

ASUS X99-A LGA 2011-v3 Intel X99 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

 

(2) Seagate Barracuda STBD2000101 2TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s

 

32GB RAM

 

Fractal Design Define R5 FD-CA-DEF-R5-BK-W Black Computer Case

 

 

 

 

Do I need to a cooler with this spec?

You certainly need a good cooler and a different gpu. Do you already have an ssd? I don't see one in your built. If you could mention your budget, many people here would make the right suggestions.

My budget is around $2000 and I have a 500GB SSD for the boot drive. Any suggestions for cooler, power supply unit and graphic card?

As you have not said anything about OC the cpu any decent cooler should like a Noctua NH-U12S but seriously running that cpu on stock any decent CPU cooler will do just see whats on special and check out a review. I would trust any of the following brands Noctua, Be Quiet! ,Corsair, Prolimatech.

 

GPU - GTX 970 seems to be the common card people go for due to cost and performance...... just check out some other threads I think u will find it suits your needs.

 

PSU - Like the cooler just get a decent brand and you will be fine - Corsair, Seasonic Enermax, EVGA even Coolmaster

If you want an amazing deal i'm sure in amongst the rough there is a diamond but its far easier to stay with known.

 

I would get a 700W psu although i'm sure a 600W psu or even less would be able to power your system.

The Noctua NH-U14S is a top air cooler, and should be sufficient for stock speeds and even a mild oc (4.2-4.3 maybe) with low noise levels. An equal alternative is the Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3.

If you intend to try a higher oc, then go for a top AIO cooler. Your budget is high enough to fit one inside. I recommend a NZXT X61 Kraken. I have it in my system and I am very pleased with its performance and noise levels. Of course, The R5 would become a less quiet case with an AIO solution, but that's the cost for oc.

Ok guys, I really need some advice here. I work as a 3d Visualizer and well they got me working on really huge projects that result in my file no smaller than 1.6gb. Now I thought what I was using was a solid workstation:

Specs are as follows: Windows 8.1 pro

Intel® Core™ i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz 3.90 GHz

16GB RAM installed

NVIDIA Quadro 2000D 1 GB

Gigabyte Motherboard,

 

 

Can anybody kinda help me get this PC put on overdrive because my render times have more than tripled, +/- 8hr render times now. So can I get a super spec machine advise from anybody here.

 

 

Thanks in advance
