Your calculation is wrong...
100 * 5% = 5
8.98 * 76% = 6.8
Here is a percentage calculator for you... use it to check whoz right : Percentage Calculator
Put 8.92 in one box and 6.82 in another
It's quite simple:
i7 980X - 8.98
i7 2600 - 6.8
Improvement in i7 980X over i7 2600 is absolute terms 8.98 - 6.8 = 2.18 points.
i7 2600 is 6.8 points, so the improvement over 2600 is 2.18/6.8 = 0.32.
Hence, 980X is 32% faster than 2600.
But if you start with the 980X, you have 8.98 points. So, this time there's a reduction and it is 2.18 points.
980X is 8.98 points, so the reduction is 2.18/8.98 = 0.24.
Hence, i7 2600 is 24% slower than 980X.
Simple and straightforward. Hope that clarifies.

Ok guys please don't fight. I don't want people to fight over my CPU,. i also inquired from a hardware guy who works in a VFX studio and he told me that i should go for i7-970 or 980 because of my need, secondly 16GB Ram would be enough for me to get the work done. Just advise a decent not so much expensive motherboard and grafix card.
As mainly i want to spend it on RAM & Processor.It would be great if you can suggest both of these within 20K.
Cheers.

Yes I was going to ask you to ask your colleagues and it seems 970 really is best cpu for you. Board Asus sabertooth is 11k. 2 8gb kits ( 2 x 4gb sticks) will set you back 7k and you can add another 8gb in the future should you feel the need ( its just another 3.5k) you should assemble with 16gb and check to see if all 16gb is getting used and then take a call if you want to get another 8gb.
So its looking like
i7 970 35k
16gb gskill 7k
Asus Sabertooth 11k
Corsair TX650 6k
Thats 59K there CM Gladiator 600 (Chassis) is 4k and you need a HDD 2TB thats another 4k and Video card for display MSI 5450 is 2.5k (or anything along those lines for 2k~)

I think he is better off with 2600K instead of 970X. The saved money can be used to buy GTX 560 which i believe will help in speed up rendering process. Have a look here [click on Core i7 2600]

I am not so much of a person who has alot of hardware knowledge, but i would like to ask if motherboard and grafix card play a very vital role in giving the adequate performance of the CPU ? As you mentioned Gskill RAM is it better than Kingston ? As its a little expensive than Kingston. For the Grafix card i was thinking of going for ATI or Geforce, please suggest something out of it.
Hi Muzux 2 the links which you posted are in french and one of the above link is not working. Can you please re-post it in english ? Also as there is so much of word is going on between i7-970 & i7-2600K, i am pretty much getting confused now as to which one to choose

For Rendering/Motion graphics/3D, you need a powerful CPU (Quad Core) along with a graphics card (Professional workstation card would be better) and atleast 16GB RAM to start with. It is not a wise decision to skimp the graphics card and opt for Core i7 970 ~ 40k.
Thanks for the advice guys. So finally i made up my mind to go with i7-2600K. Also i have some choices to make in grafix card and hard disk, so let me know which one should i go for.
Intel 2nd Generation Core i7 2600K 3.40G Processor - (15K)
Asus P8H67-V Motherboard - (8.5K)
Nvidia QuadroFX 580 512MB / 480 / Geforce GTS 450 - (10K / 6.5K / 6.5K)
Corsair 16 GB DDR3 1600Mhz HeatSink - (8K)
WD 2 TB Hard Disk Caviar Black 64MB Cache 7200 RPM - (7.5K)
Sony SATA DVD-RW - (1K)
Corsair TX650 SMPS - (5.5K)
Cooler Master CPU Fan V6 GT - (4.5K)
Cooler Master Chasis CM 690 II Advance - (4.5K)
I have been to nehru place for the prices. They mentioned that WD HD Caviar Black Edition is the new drive which is faster than the normal one's, so is it true ? Did anybody used it ? Also from the above given grafix cards which one would be better to choose from ?

Yes black edition is faster but maybe for you velociraptor is a good idea Theitdepot - Western Digital VelociRaptor 300GB 3.5 SATA Desktop Hard Drive (WD3000HLFS)
Again you have to ask your collegues if there is lot of disk activity during you work. If there is its the best choice for you. Go with the 580 its not that much more should be well worth it the 4xx will be hotter I think. Get a TX750 instead its rs500-800 more I think you need it for more stable OC .

I just checked the price, it will be too much if i go for it as i need minimum 2TB of space. I asked many people and they mentioned the entry level products of QuadroFX won't make much of a difference, its better to go with the Geforce GTS450.
Also isn't Corsair TX650 will be enough ? One more thing i need to ask, do i have to change my UPS to take up all the load of this new machine ? As currently i have APC650 Watt. isn't it enough to take up all the load along with the monitor ?
