Approximate Purchase Date: Can wait till SB-E comes out if you guys suggest they would build a superior machine at this price point.
Budget Range:$4000 Before / After Rebates
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Hypershot (Rendering-CPU dependent...more cores the better), SolidWorks (CAD-GPU dependent), Photoshop, gaming, surfing the internet, watching movies
Parts Not Required:keyboard, mouse, monitor (have 24" Dell), speakers, OS and any parts in my current setup (below) can be reused.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com, and anywhere else...Frys Electronics super store is just down the street too.
Country of Origin:USA
Parts Preferences:Nvidia GPUs as they are the only architiecture that will run SolidWorks and let me game. Intel guy but Im here for powerful solutions not to be a fan boy.
Overclocking: Yes / Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Yes / Maybe
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1200
Additional Comments: Dont care if it does/doesn't have a window and lots of bling, I would like a quiet-ish PC that stays cool. Water cooling can be an option.
My current setup is:
i72600k@4.5 24/7 max temp 58C (when rendering all cores at 100%)
Asus P8P67 EVO
16GB Corsair Vengeance (4x4GB)
Calibre 480GTX (runs SolidWorks 99% without glitch in graphics)
1000Watt Zalman
System Drive: OCZ 120GB Max Iops
Storgae: 2x 600GB Raptors Mirrored
Antec 1200 (standard fans)
H-70 with Gentle Typhoons + NoiseBlocker replacement fans (excellent temps and sound)
Win7 Business
I would like to keep this as an all in one PC (Rendering, CAD & Gaming). Can go either way with GPU (workstation/gaming). They both have theire +- (This is my home workstation so I would like to be able to game ocassionally and edit music in addition to my CAD, Rendering & Photoshop work). Not familiar with server level building.
Ok lets build...
