Hello. I'll buy new pc like 4 days later. And i realy realy need some help. My biggest problem is, im from Turkey and i cant use many of online purchase sites. Im trying to make a good pc for autodesk maya. Im not expert or something but i dont want to have problems. And i like playing games too. Im having trouble with choosing CPU and GPU. Which should be better for maya? I have 2 system examples which i've been thinking for nearly week. Between i need a monitor too.

GPU: EVGA GTX970 GDD5 4GB 256 Bit
CPU: Intel Core i7 5820k 2011v3 6 Core 33Ghz 15 MB Cache
MTB: MSI x99s SLI PLUS Intel x99 Soket 2011v3 DD4
RAM: Kingstone 16 GB Hyper X Black Series
Case: ThermalTake Core V31 80 Plus Bronze 650 Watt
HDD: Seagate 1 TB Barracuda Sata 3 64 MB Cache 7200 RPM
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB
Monitor: Philips 215 226v4lab Widescreen

Both around 2050 $. My second option is with higher GPU.

GPU: Evga GTX980 FTW ACX 2.0 GDDR5 4GB 256Bit DX12 Nvidia GeForce
CPU: Intel Core i7 4790K Soket 1150 4.0GHz 8MB
MTB: MSI H97 GAMING 3 Intel H97 Soket 1150 DDR3 1600Mhz HDMI&DVI&DP
RAM: CORSAIR 16GB (2x8GB) Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz CL9 Kit Ram
Case: CORSAIR CARBIDE SERİSİ CHAMP/SPEC-02 80PLUS 650W
HDD: Seagate 1 TB Barracuda Sata 3 64 MB Cache 7200 RPM
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB
Monitor: Philips 215 226v4lab Widescreen

I have no idea which should be better for maya and gaming. People saying quadro for gaming but its so expensive and looks bad for gaming. But if you guys say its realy realy good for maya, i can buy it later as a 2nd GPU. Please help me about this. Thanks for reading ! Waiting for your comments. And believe me it's realy realy important for me.
 
Am not an expert on autodesks, but if your from turky you might try getting parts from Amazon and ebay, could be cheaper than getting them locally.

the second option has a unlocked CPU but a locked motherboard, you need a Z97 not H97 to be able to overclock.
 
I am not exactly sure what the system requirements are for the latest version of Maya or if Autodesk has any specific hardware that it recommends, but I would personally go with the 5820K build, although depending on what monitor resolution you are going to work with, a single GTX 970 may not be sufficient enough. On a 5820K system though you will need an aftermarket cooler since it doesn't come with one.

For your budget I would suggest a system like this:

Then you can add whatever monitor you want.
 


I would second this over your two builds, far more performance CPU and graphics

The CPU cooler also comes in 3 different colors for you to choose from too XD
 


I wish i can use amazon or ebay. But they dont ship to Turkey due high tax rates and lots of problems.

 




If they can ship it to Turkey, i can just buy it. But in my country i need to choose btw GTX980 and 5820K lol.

 
too bad, because I live in the mid east and the prices here are sky high, amazone and ebay with shipping is cheaper for me by a lot.

Aliexpress.com is also a good choice, the sometimes have really good prices and sometimes not.

out of the two build, I would probably go for the i7 5820k build, but dont take my answer as a solid one, never uses maya but did use solidworks and cad and they do need a good balance between cpu and gpu. Think the 970 is a good enough card.
 
Great thing is, i can buy from amazon lol. Thanks for warning me saved me lots and lots of money. I'll always remember your name while i play games and design things. Now i can afford GTX 980 TI with 5820K. My budget is 2000 $. With Monitor. Feel free to use amazon.
