Can anyone help me to find the best build for $2500-$2700.Im pretty new to building computers.Im mostly gonna use it for gaming and 3d rendering and animation software.Links will be appreciated.Thanks. P.S.:Monitor included.
nothings wrong with it im building one more pc for gaming in addition to the one i already have for 3d animation software.
lol any specific reason y? if just for gaming, get a phenom 720/955 + 5850/5870, EDIT: just realised u'll use 3D animation, that will probs get some good use from a meaty processor like the i7 980x, so you could do that, way overkill tho
i7 980x gigabte x58a-ud3r (if bios supports the proccy) 6GB DDR3 8-8-8-24 (maybe 12 if u find it all getting used) shuld be a good baseline, not sure what a good gfx card for rendering would be, to be honest
Its kind of a waste to build another rig just for gaming when the one you got can do the stuff you already use it for plus can handle any game you chuck at it. As was said. Just use your current rig.. But i suppose if you REALLY want to blow $2k on another PC that, IMO you dont need. The 980x i7 is a very good build.
I vote against another build as well, just a waste of cold hard earned cash. Your rig can handle any game you throw at it. If you really want to go crazy, CrossFire another Radeon HD 5970. deltatux
