laramtak Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Dear All, I want to upgrade my PC for 3DS Max and VRAY. I am not sure whether to go in for i7 7700K or i7 8700K. i7 7700K has higher clock frequency compared to i7 8700K, but i7 8700K has 6 cores compared 4 cores of i7 7700K. A per my understanding, i7 8700K (6 cores, 12 Hyper Threads) would be more beneficial for rendering as Max and Vray can take advantage of 2 additional cores. I wish not to overclock the processor and run at the base frequency. How would you rate the below configuration? My Configuration: Processor: i7 8700K RAM: 16 GB, (will put another 16 GB next month) Display Card: GeFroce GTX 1050 TI 4GT OC Thanks and Regards, Laram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikolaos M Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Go for the 8700K. More cores/threads as you said, and higher stock boost clocks (7700K has a 4.5GHz single core boost while the 8700K has 4.7GHz). You'll have faster speeds both in modeling and rendering (if vray is your rendererer). Your system is fine. You don't mention the rest of the parts, like the motherboard, primary OS drive and psu. What's the RAM's frequency? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikolaos M Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Hi Laram. I've made a list of parts that can be found in Amazon.in and are well suited for your needs. Tell me if this list is over budget, and I'll see if we can fix it. PCPartPicker part list I think you should get a good air-cooler for this build, because you'll be doing renderings using the cpu. The Coolermaster 212 EVO is a cheap and very reliable cooler and its successor the 212X is slightly better too, but for this use the Noctua U12S should be the perfect match. I couldn't find the GB z370M D3H in India. The Asus Strix alternative should be more than enough for you needs and its price is not too high I think.

laramtak Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 Sir, Thank you so much for going out of the way and helping me. Appreciate it. Motherboard is available: https://www.amazon.in/Gigabyte-Z370M-D3H-motherboard-Anti-Sulfur/dp/B076YTD682 Instead of Noctua U12S, can I go for the below Liquid Cooler? DEEPCOOL GAMER STORM MAELSTROM 120T AIO LIQUID COOLER https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B011IU6KQ8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AXPHJ4KBOYXKY Thanks, Laram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikolaos M Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Is there a particular reason you want to get a mATX motherboard? Do you have a small chassis? I would prefer the Asus Z370 Strix over this Gigabyte. If you want a cheaper cpu cooler go for the CoolerMaster 212X https://in.pcpartpicker.com/product/PJYXsY/cooler-master-cpu-cooler-rr212x20pmr1 If you add a second fan for push-pull you'll get slightly better temps too. Cheap liquid coolers are usually equal or worse in performance compared to air-coolers of the same price, but also produce much more noise, which will get annoying after many hours of rendering.

laramtak Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 Hello Nikolaos Sir, I will go in for CoolerMaster 212X as you suggested. Regarding Asus Motherboard, there must definitely be something good about this board as you are insisting. Tomorrow I'll confirm with my vendor and see if it is in my price range and if Asus service centers are available. Once I confirm, I shall post my final list. Thanks again for assisting me and your invaluable suggestions. Thanks, Laram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laramtak Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 Hello Nikolaos Sir, I am getting a used Graphics card ( NVIDIA® Quadro® 600)with 1 GB RAM. I was planning to buy Graphics card next month as I am little tight on budget. As I am going for Asus - ROG Strix Z370-H Gaming ATX LGA1151 Motherboard (the one you suggested), it already has on board Graphics with shared 1 GB. Since the below card is Professional Entry level, should I buy the below used card or should I wait and buy card with at least 4 GB? Is the below card better than the on board graphics ? Initially for a month or two, I'll be more of practicing rather than doing any serious work. http://www.nvidia.com/object/product-quadro-600-us.html Thanks, Laram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikolaos M Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 It's better to wait. Don't buy this old quadro. It's useless. You should get by with the onboard gpu for now. Raise money for a decent gpu. The 1050ti should be your minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laramtak Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 Thank you Sir, Should I go in for this one? But I think is gaming card. Will it be helpful for 3DS Max and Vray? https://www.amazon.in/GeForce-GTX-1050-4GT-OC/dp/B01MG3IX4F?tag=googinhydr18418-21 Thanks again, Laram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikolaos M Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Yes, this one should be fine. Don't be mislead by the "gaming" title. All GeForce cards are great for most 3d apps, especially 3ds max which runs on direct3d. "Professional" gpus have an advantage only in specific scenarios, and 3ds max isn't one of them, so don't worry. Why don't you consider buying this one? https://www.amazon.in/Expedition-GeForce%C2%AE-1050Ti-GDDR5-EX-GTX1050TI-O4G/dp/B0713WZKVQ/ref=sr_1_5?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1519326280&sr=1-5&keywords=1050ti It's much cheaper and equally good.
