Budget PC Build for 3D modelling and renderings

[wl_leung]

I've been researching a lot lately on PC building... mainly because I want a machine which I can do work on... 3D modelling and rendering type stuff... gaming as well

My budget isnt that high so its limiting me to go all out.

CPU: AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz
GPU: R9 270X 2GB... or I am tempted to get R9 280X 3GB... As far as I know... there are quite a big difference in price so I dont know if its worth spending that extra cash on it
Motherboard: M5A99FX PRO 2.0
RAM: 8GB or 16GB if i can stretch that...
PSU: 700W Corsair
Storage: 500GB plus my existing SSD
Cooling: I've been adviced to get a case which support alot of fans... liquid cooling will be too expensive I think... HK isnt ideal with electronics... everything over heats.

Any advice would be brilliant...

Thanks

This is a really important question. Gaming vs modeling. What is more important?

You can get a gaming GPU that will be decent for modeling. Or you can get a modeling GPU that might play games okay.

Rendering speed and quality is probably a more important but I am tempted to do PC gaming from now on instead of console so that as well... but not as important

I would shoot for a Titan or a 7850. The 7850 is rated well for both rendering and gaming.
