a 3D Modelling/Rendering Computer!

Hiya people, needing your help...

As of now until around september next year i will be using a pants Acer Aspire One AX3300 Compact PC, which is absolutely horrible for rendering my projects especially in 3Ds Max at present. (Studying Games Development at College :cool:

)

I have applied for university looking to get into the same thing, and obviously will apply for the student loan, leaving me some monies for a new PC for Rendering

I would like a cooled system, with probably an oc'ed cpu 3.5ghz+ i think, not knowing much is quite hard

.

6/8GB RAM - ample enough for rendering?

Single GPU - 6870??

Fans

Case

hopefully an SSD for booting up and for 3Ds Max, or would it not make a difference? 64/128GB

1 or 2TB HDD for render storage

mobo? - recommendations for this type of system, not sure what i can go for, maybe usb 3.0? or would that not make much difference?

already got keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, the lot.

although will probably get a new mouse when i get this computer built when i get my loan

If you need any other information for my possible spec, give us a buzz, and till then....cheers for any information and builds in advance.

EDIT:

BUDGET: Around £800-900

i would say come back around july august time and then we can restart this process. I would keep ghosting the forums anyways as you can pick up a few more posts and get yourself free delivery or access to the mm.

(Correct me if i am wrong.)

will do, that Martini1991 is a friend from my college and he said it was pointless after i suggested he should spec me as well

cheers for info though, will re-post something similar closer to the date i said above

sorry for wasting your time

There has been no waste of time as we all benefit from these discussions and someone who might have similar needs as yours with a more immediate outcome may use this build.
