What Should I Buy - Maximum Budget 60K (Usage - Rendering, 3D, Motion Graphics & VFX)
Hey guys, I am a VFX guy who works mainly on 3D, Rendering, Motion Graphics & Heavy particle stuff. My work is heavily based on RAM and processor. I would like to build a new rig as the current is quite old now. So i need your help.
I did some research and thinking of buying Intel Core i7 Processor i7-970 3.20GHz 12MB LGA1366 or Intel 2nd Generation Core i7 2600K 3.40G Processor now as far as price is concern it seems the 6core is double the price of the 4core one. But some say that the i7-2600K gives full competition to i7-970. is it true ?
Also at one point iam thinking that i should incorporate two i7-2600K processors which makes it a deadly machine with 8 cores and 16 threads. Can we combine two processors ? If yes then what should be the configuration for the rest of the stuff like motherboard and graphics card. Also i would like to have more RAM (12) and 2TB Harddisk.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers,
