I built a PC in 2010 to use primarily for 2d and 3d graphics - Adobe, Autodesk, Blender etc.
Goal: Is it possible to upgrade this PC to use for 3d image development and high resolution 2d rendering only. - no animation or games.
Answers to questions template:
Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: this week
Budget Range: (e.g.: 600-800) Before / After Rebates; Before / After Shipping
System Usage from Most to Least Important: (3d graphic software - Blender, 3DS Max, Maya, etc. - image development - no animation or gaming)
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: (graphics card, CPU?, mobo?)
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: (e.g.: newegg.com, amazon.com, ncix.com)
Location: Orange County California
Parts Preferences: - currently have intel cpu and nVidia gpu
Overclocking: Yes / No / Maybe? Not sure.
SLI or Crossfire: Yes / No / Maybe? Not sure.
Your Monitor Resolution: (2560 x 1440 x 59 hertz)
Additional Comments: (I would like a quiet PC. See above)
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: (current raphic card does not support latest 3d software. Only interested in image development and high resolution 2d rendering of created 3d images)
