CPU or GPU upgrade

[eoinheatley]

Hi

 

 

 

I made a post a few days ago but for some reason I can't reply to it so I'll start a new one. I am a recently qualified architect and I am wanting to invest some money into upgrading my computer. It will be my personal computer and I will be using it in my free time to teach myself more advanced techniques using vray with sketchup/3ds max. I bought a pre build system because I was in uni and I didn’t have the knowledge or time to invest in building my own rig. This has been fine for simple interior renders for uni but I want to create more lush and occupied interiors and exteriors. Here are the specs;

 

Microsoft Windows 8.1 64-bit

Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 motherboard

AMD FX™-6350 Six-Core Processor, 3900 Mhz, 3 Core(s), 6 Logical Processor(s)

AMD Radeon ™ R9 200 Series 2gb gddr5 graphics card

32.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 803MHz ram

Raijintek Aidos cooler

Coolermaster 500w PSU

 

If there’s anything which stands out let me know.

 

 

 

Thanks
