Ok so I built a gaming pc a while ago and now i have found a new use for it. My specs:
fx-8350
8gb's of ram (will be getting a second 8gb kit very soon)
Gtx 770 4gb
240gb ssd and 300gb hdd (hdd was donated I will be adding a 2tb soon)
What i need is a good rendering and animation software for my specs. I will be importing 3d models from Google sketch-up and doing mainly lighting changes and rendering. The models will be medium length and will have moving elements. I need a way to show how light effects an object. The lighting will be changing from night to day in the models. So you can see the stuff i will be rendering and more understand what it is, here's the site for the company i will be rendering for: http://powerwallsystems.net/what-we-do.html
The reason my system is not yet optimized is that it was built for gaming and is now being partially reused was that I am actually a family friend of the owner of this company and when the computer was built, it was purely for gaming. Its a small company and they're looking to expand so they need to update there products on there web site to look more professional. Right now the whole company is being run off a core duo laptop (facepalm) so software was rather limited before, but we have the capabilities to get more professional software now with the ability to run it on my computer.
