Advice please: on Low budget - 3D Modeling Rig - Only CPU, Motherboard and RAM

People,

My friend works in Automobile 3D modeling. He owns a Sony PC 8 years old. :crutch:

The PC hangs all the time nowadays, apparently a lot has changed in Technology... :)

But he is on very tight budget, but needs to use the system for modeling at home.

Tight budget: 10k - 15k Rupees :blushing:

Please suggest Mobo, CPU and RAM at as lowest cost possible.

I think AMD only possible, glad if can make it intel. :jumpy: :)

Thanks in advance.....
 
That Budget is really tight.
Do you want to completely upgrade your entire system right from your cabinet to your mouse, or just change your Core components?
 
Processor AMD AthlonII X3 435(2.9GHz, 3 cores,1.5MB Cache) 3500
Motherboard Biostar TA785G3 HD/ Gigabyte GA-MA785GMT-US2H 4600
RAM 4GB(2*2) G. Skill F3-10600CL9S-2GBNT DDRIII 5200
taken from july buying guide

you of course will need a gfx card also
 
I dont think 8 year old PC's PSU/SMPS(Power Supply) will power ur newer rig. As u have a very tight budget i would suggest DDRII.

AMD AthlonII X4 635 ~ 5k(Go for a quad as it would serve u for longer and more the cores the merrier for ur purpose)
Biostar A780L ~ 2.6k/Biostar A785GE~3.3k (There was even one 3 month old A785GE on sale in TE for ~3k shipped)
Kingston 4GB(2*2) 800MHz DDRII RAM ~ 4.4k
FSP SAGAII 350w ~ 1.5k/FSP SAGAII 400w ~ 1.9k
Total: 13.5k/14.6k

Add a decent GFX later when u have the budget.
 
thanks guys,

Another, almost related question, is 3D Markvantage benchmarking can be used for softwares such as AutoCAD 3D, Unigraphics, CATIA etc...?
 
well the lowest possible could be

athlon II x4 620 + biostar a780l @ 6k

4gb ram (get used one from members market) @ 3k

case + psu (iball) @ 1k

tatol 10k :)

get a 4350 for gpu

and keyboard + mose

total around 13k :)
 
if it is autocad , then you can get away with a el cheapo gfx card , CATIA then you would need some powered up one , all depends on what he is working on
