£800-1300 build

Hey, unfortunately my computer died the other day, no idea what happened but was 4 year old and could not cope well with what i was doing anyway. I was planning on waiting on bulldozer but i can sit without a pc for long.

Ill mainly be using this for 3dsmax and other varying 3d software, photoshop and real time rendering. I will also be gaming but not on a regular basis.

I have between 800-1300ish to play with, the cheaper the better. I dont need an os, or monitor/keyboard or mouse. This is what i was thinking of going with, right at the top of the budget.

Cheers for the quick reply, the 560ti will that have enough VRAM for real time rendering in dx11?

stulid · 12 Jun 2011 at 00:13

It does, and with CUDA support some apps that can take advantage of it will seriously speed up.

Okay, ill probs go with the 570 as i have some extra money to play with and also a 2tb storage HDD for all my work. For some reason i am picky with how my case looks, i quite like the corsair 600t

Pick which ever case you want, as long as its not actually rubbish then its all good.

You can even get a 600t in white.
