In other words, i7 980 is (8.98-6.8)/6.8 = 32% faster. 32% is a massive improvement. Whether it can fit in the budget is the question.Hades. said:Time for some calculation... 8.98 * 76% = 6.8248
6.8 is the score which i7 2600k scores in Cinebench benchmark... So i stand corrected its just 24% slower than i7 980

Hades. said: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
I am saying i7 980 is 32% faster than i7 2600.
You are saying i7 2600 is 24% slower than i7 980.
Hades. said:Nope... If 980x performs 32% faster than 2600k then the 2600k should perform 32% slower... But i7 2600k is not 32 percent slower its just 24% slower
Hades. said:You are still not getting it... If i7 2600k scores 6.82 points then it is scoring 76% of i7 980x score of 8.98... So it is just 24% slower than 980x...
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]

In 3D Studio max 2010 - 970X is ~ 24% faster
Cinema 4D - ~ 15%
After Effects CS4 - Tie

rebolt said: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
Zloyd said: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 .
