:rofl:
I thought the guy said no OCing- so what's with the TRUE and stuff??
Where are you from haunted4life and what hauntsu4life??
A good psu helps in teh long run and the HX620 pwns most of the best.
But if no OCing, a Corsair VX450 for 3.7K or less will do the job very well too- though when it comes to psus- i really don't mind the more if you can afford it.
MY rig if i were you-
Abit IP35E
Q6600/Q9450 as per choice (is the Q6600 cheaper after the 20th April price cut?? need to consider price-to performance.
)
8800GT 512MB G92- Gigabyte one with zalman cooler or MSI with the heatpipes, or similar (or 2600XT if the 3D gurus recommend that- much cheaper too)
POINT to be NOTED: with the nVidia 8 series cards, esp 8800GTS/GT and above, most people can do without workstation gfx cards- that's what most of my 3D gurus have told me.
To know 'why'- Google is your friend.
- Or maybe some 3D guru can thorw more light on this.
2x2GB Transcend DDR2 800 RAM
CM590 if you have the moolah (a less messy case than the CM690 imo) or a Zebronics Bijli with a fast 120mm fan for exhaust or something similar with a fast 120mm fan for exhaust works pretty ok too.
CM690 is u like it and have the moni- but u can very well do with any inexpensive atcx case with good layout and space to attach a 120mm fan for exhaust
The main advantage of the CM590/690 case is that it allows fro usage of several slower exhaqsut fans w/o compromising ventilation.
Antec 900 is not a bad case but it's overpriced and needs to be modded a lil to be cabling friendly- which again is not worth the effort+time unless u love modding and have the time.
Since no OCing, no need for aftermarket cooler unless you prefer one for lower temps or silence- especially if you have a well-ventilated work space and case.
(I use good coolers even with non OCed rigs for the lower temps, if teh budget permits- silence is bonus.
)
Even an ultra90 costing around 1.5K locally does the job pretty well- 92m fan will be extra cost.
Thermalright Ultima 90 (Rs.2200/-iirc) should be way more than enough for your kinda operation- again 92 or 120mm fan will be as per choice andcost you extra. .
Thermalright
Ultra 120
Extreme ain't a requirement for your rig, even if OCed to a safely useable 24x7 OC.
Can someone please put down the prices to the above and total up my lower cost but equally good enough rig please??
BTW, where are the 3D and VFX gurus of TE- i only see'vij' sir here.
Sorry if ioverlooked some guru's post. :ashamed:
H4L-
please use 'SEARCH' (advanced) on TE- you will hopefully come across some older but good threads on the same topic which will throw more light on this 'rig for 3D/animation/blah blah/...' topic.
