Hello Everyone,
I have been searching, and reading and looking all over the internet to find an answer to several questions I've got about this build, but I haven't been able to get an accurate answer. My first doubt is about my cpu, is intel i7 3930k good enough for rendering or would it be better to get a dual cpu motherboard and 2 xeon E5-2600 series (maybe less ghz, about 2.5, but dual...) and is Corsair's H100 a good choice for cooling my CPU or is it overkilling it? (Would H60 do the trick?) Secondly, about the GPU... Im going to be using a lot of 3ds Max, VRay, iray, MentalRay, Lumion, TwinMotion, Adobe Suite, etc... no videogames. Now, I know Quadros are perfect for 3ds Max and ADOBE, but as far as Lumion goes I think it might not be the best choice. I was thinking about geting instead of it a GeForce gtx580, should I do that? And last but not least, are my PSU and both monitors good choices or is there anything wrong I should know about them?
Thanks to everyone in advance!
