howdy! first post. i want to build a computer for blender for compatibility for other programs that he may use with blender like the shader and…can’t remember. well other programs that make 3d models that would be compatible. i’ll have to ask him all the other ones but i was trying to make a one all build. here is what i am thinking
Fury X watercooled- i’ll overclock this as well
32GB of ddr 4 3000 memory - nah wont overclock
6 core x99 platform Intel i7 unlocked for overclocking
Windows 7 Ultimate
some box to put it in
1TB SSD drive…not sure which one but under 500 bucks
3 or 4 5TB spinning media HD
3 28" 2560x1600 monitors, probably asus brand
x99 motherboard, asus brand probably
now what do you think about that? he likes to use adobe as well.
are there any issues with the new 2.75a that would not allow for amd cards to run Cycles. i know that it’s plenty fast and is compatible for maxwell cards…but i wanted to try the AMD for that one
that cpu with that memory should be plenty, should i get 64GB of memory? he’s pretty serious about making games as well he is using another program…forgot which one i’ll have to ask. but i was going to have him try the blender game engine
What other things should i be considering for this build? i’ll do separate backup storage to a NAS and probably some other offline harddrives as well
also will be buying a UPS, his power is stupid sometimes
oh and he games as well, going to buy him a new mouse and keyboard, mechanical
it’s hard to find how to build a kick-ass system for blender.
my budget is 3000$ US dollar
