Hi,
I'm looking to squeeze a bit of extra performance without forking out too much money. (I don't mind sourcing used parts)
I only use this computer for character animation in maya. I would like to speed up the viewport FPS / playblast speed and if possible the moving and dragging keys / objects.
I know for sure I can get a better graphics card - what would be suitable? I'm thinking 50 -120$ for the card. Maybe some extra ram??
All advice appreciated
Current PC:
Gigabyte EP45-DS3
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 @ 3.00GHz
4GB RAM corsair CM2X2048-6400C4DHX 2x2048 DDR2
Asus EAH3650 SILENT MAGIC 512MB (ancient I know!)
Seagate ST3500320AS ATA Device (500GB) x2
Windows 8.1
