DarXtra :
hello
im looking for a help
i wanna a build for rendering and modelling
but i can buy only from amazon.com
can u help me with that
i need two choices one for 1500$ or less
and one for 2000$ or less
must be containd
CPU . MOTHERBOARD , RAM , GRAPHIC CARD , PSU , COOLING SYSTEM , SSD , HDD
and is it better to go for xeon or i7 extreme ?
thank you all
DarXtra,
For the $1,500 system, this approach takes advantage of a depreciated system and GPU so as to have a very good specification that is workstation specific and as LGA 2011 is expandable at a reasonable cost.
The basis is a used HP z420 with a Xeon E5-1620 4-core @ 3.6 / 3.8 GHz. The E5-1620 is an excellent performer in modeling as it's single-threaded performance is very good. On Passmark the E5-1620 single-threaded performance averages 1928. This compares favorably to the i7-5820K at 1835. The i7-5820K has the advantage of 6-cores, but the z420 can be changed in the future to an 8-core Xeon E5-2600 series.
The important feature of this approach is that the system is nearly usable out of the box, saving a lot of time in assembly, wiring, and configuration- just a few plug-in components. The hard drive could be set up on the included 500GB mechanical drive and then migrated to the SSD when it arrives. I set up my drives on a mechanical drive, so I can update, defragment, and optimize the files structure with a disk optimizer and then migrate to the SSD, saving the wear on the SSD memory. Then, take the included 500GB drive and put it in a USB 3.0 enclosure for the backup drive. I use a Startech Almuninum one (about $40) as it has a ventilation fan.

And there you have a 3.8GHz, 32GB, Quadro K4200 (4GB), 500GB SSD, 1TB storage system for $1,400. The Quadro K4200 is an extremely good 3D modeling card and used professionally for Solidworks, 3ds, Maya, etc.

If you are using CPU-based rendering, for the $2,000 system, the idea is to buy the z420 as above and change the CPU to a used Xeon E5-2690 8-core @ 2.9 / 3.6GHz (single threaded = 1880). These are selling these days (3.16) for about $400-500 on Ebahhh.
Intel Xeon E5-2690 2.9GHz 8-Core Processor (CM8062101122501) SR0L0 > sold for $375
TOTAL = about $1800
And, that would be an extremely capable visualization system with 8-cores / 16 threads at up to 3.6GHz .
