Power supply match

 
Someone please correct me if im wrong but i thought 3D modelling relied more on CPU threads than actually cores...

I know the bulldozers were badly threaded though i think the piledrivers are better.

If you could squeeze a low level i5, such as the 3330 into the budget, that'd be my choice.

My friend uses a 3470 (i think) that he bought on offer and he uses Solidworks and 3DS, he is very happy with it. :)

He also bought a FX4600 (i think) off the bay for the price of the 650.. I'd do that. :)

That is correct. It does rely more on threading than cores, but it is also true that the piledrivers have improved on that front.

Its difficult to squeeze intel into this budget :( that's why I chose the amd, the point mainly being the budget.

Here stands the dilemma... up the budget to intel or stay with the budget AMD?!

Will the upgrade to intel make the difference?
 
I can't link because im at work, but...

i5 3330 costs £140

H61M-P31 cost £30.

If you want USB3 and SATAIII

The H61MA D3V is only £40, though out of stock.

Only £10-£20 more than you current spec..

Also my friend used the Zalman T1 which he reccomends. Nice cheap case.

The Fx4600's are selling for £60. :)
