Hi all,

I was looking to turn my current machine into a rendering rig for After Effects.

Here's what I currently have:

|| Intel 4670K @ 4GHz || Corsair H80i || 2x MSI NVIDIA GTX 770 2GB (2 way SLI) || MSI Z87-G45 ||
|| TeamGroup Elite Black 16GB (CAS 11-11-11-28 Timings) || Samsung 840 (250GB) SSD ||
|| Samsung 850 Evo (500GB) SSD || Seagate Barracuda 2TB (7200 RPM) ||
|| SuperFlower Leadex GOLD 750W || BitFenix Shinobi (German Edition) ||

|| 2x Asus VN247H || TT eSports Theron (Black) || Qpad Mk-80 (Blue Switches) ||
|| 2013 Astro MixAmp Pro || 2013 Astro A40 ||

The current setup is good however I'd still like to upgrade.

Ideally, I'd like a 'top' spec rig but nothing too insane. What would be your recommendations?

Budget wise, no more than £1.5K, will be rendering quite a lot over the next year or so.

In terms of rendering, going to be doing a lot over the next year. I think xeons will be OTT. Not fussed about the rendering GPU's though.

Something like this would be big upgrade for your current rig its got twice the amount of cores and all the ram you will ever need for huge renders. I would have put ecc memory but couldn't find any on here. Lol i didnt read all of what you said if its after effects then you should know its pretty unoptimized so use adobe media encoder instead and this spec here would be more than enough you will rekt those poor after edits or intros.
My basket at Overclockers UK:

Total: £1,218.47
