A friend of mine is looking forward to buy a machine for 3D animation.
Need to be as cheap as possible..in terms of cost. do not want to compromise a lot on the requirements..so will be buying just what requirements demand.
i understand that a quad core will help rendering buy no idea which gpu to go for this purpose.
Need a balanced rig...so please let the suggestions flow in..
