Hello everyone, :D
I'm Building a Workstation mainly for 3dsmax, Vray, photoshop and Keyshot.
Specs:
- CPU: i7 5960X Extreme Edition or Intel Xeon E5-1660 V2
- ASRock X99 Extreme3
- AMD Radeon R9 390 8GB
- 32 GB ram
- Samsung 950 PRO 256GB PCI Express x4 M.2 2280
I can't decide which one is better for work.....
Should i get i7 5960X or Intel Xeon E5-1660 V2
And for GPU, Radeon R9 390 8GB or FirePro W7000?
Budget around $3000
Thanks :D
What's your display set up?
are you doing gaming as well? as you might want a workstation GPU
and are you sure you need the speed from nvme? as you'd get twice as much standard sata SSD storage otherwise.
Is this build good, check out the link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1c_jDpAUHUR7asUpF2ppB5IWVIewVWNKwS_yn4GHSyN4/edit#gid=0
Display is a LG 34 inch 21.9 3440 x 1440 pixel
No gaming.
Probably not going to be worth spending the extra 700 bucks for that CPU right now, as the broadwell specs were just leaked, you're basically paying $700 for an i3's worth of extra performance, aside from the PCI-e lanes which you probably don't really need given that you're most likely only going to run a single GPU
anyways here ya go, case is just a personal preference but it does give really good air flow and gives you some hot swap hard drive bays for archiving things, just don't actually hot swap them most likely, but it includes a Firepro workstation GPU, just double check that your software can actually make use of the workstation GPU features
Could also grab a secondary display with the extra cash or just hold onto it

motherboard review, solid board if you don't need 128gbs of RAM
Are you buying in the US or another location, are you including display, and can you wait for Broadwell-EP which is announced but not yet available for sale?
From EU. Broadwell-EP? Any released date?
