Hey guys, I found about you people from google and have been reading a lot of information lately here.
I am an architectural student who requires Autodesk Revit(3D software) , 3DS MAX( again, 3D rendering software) constantly and therefore I need to purchase a computer. Right now I have a Dell XPS studio 16 ( 8GB ram 1600 mhz ,500 GB HDD 7200 rpm, i5 M430. I purchased this right when Intel i series was launched and it costed me around $2400. Now it is available for $1000 and less :\ ) Anyway, coming to the topic.

I am thinking of getting the following stuff, please guide me for the same.

1TB Hard disk. 7200 rpm
240 GB SSD. ( People are recommending me OCZ company but I really have no idea about the company, please guide me with the price-vs-performance thing)
Intel 3930K Processor
32 GB ram 1600Mhz
2 GB graphic card ( Model still not decided. Please help me out here. Some people say that AMD is better for 3ds max but i really don't know)
Mother board not decided.

Cooler master cabinet and others are variants not really a matter of huge confusing.



Please guide me. My budget is maximum $2K. Also, I live in India if that is a matter required for costing. But putting the costing aside, firstly I want to know about the specs I should use. Also a guy told me that AMD+its supportable motherboard is a cheaper and better combo than 3930+motherboard.

Please comment on that too.

Hoping to hear some geeks and nerds speak up with great knowledge:D

Thanks a ton for such a quick response but I wanted to discuss about the graphic card. Also what do you suggest 16GB ram with 21mhz or 32gb ram with 1600mhz?
Also, I think 3930K would be better for my very high rendering requirements, don't you think?

Please comment on AMD combo or Intel combo for my high end graphic rendering needs.

Also, my budget is only $2K. You made a spec which is $400 more than that :(

I am speaking in $$ because after sometime I have become used to it. My currency here is INR. I have learned the quick conversion rate in my mind and speak in $$ because of its world wide acceptance. I will be purchasing from here only. That is only why I have joined this forum.
I am getting a quotation of 367 euros locally, should I go for it?

I also wanted to know that will the parts vary for my country's electric system and voltage? I mean, they must be manufacturing country specific products, right? I am from India.
 
aah..its just another fancy name for it? :| I thought it was a different thing. People are confusing me now. lol

Also, what are Internal SSDs? I just searched them over the net and they seem to be quite cheaper. Can you throw some light on that?
