Hi there,
Since working on 3D modelling software such as Maya and ZBrush i have come a cropper when taking projects home from work to finish off or perfect as in the things wont open up so i am looking at building my first desktop computer i have around £1400 to play with i have got a list from ebuyers but am unsure whether A: it will work together and B: whether i am optimising the amount of power i can get for my money.
The list i have is:
1 x Asus P6TD Deluxe X58 Socket 1366 8 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard
1 x Intel Core i7 950 3.06GHz Socket 1366 8MB Cache Retail Boxed Processor
1 x Casecom 6788 Black Mid Tower Case with Full Black Interior/Exterior 120mm Blue LED Front Fan - No PSU
1 x Sapphire HD 5770 1GB GDDR5 Dual DVI HDMI DisplayPort HDCP PCI-E Graphics Card
1 x Zalman CNPS10X Extreme Ultra Quiet Socket 1156, 1366, 775, AM3, AM2+, 939, 754 Tower Processor Cooler
1 x Seagate 750GB Hard Drive SATAII 7200rpm 32MB Cache - OEM
1 x OCZ 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 2000MHz Gold Memory Kit CL10(10-10-10-30) 1.65V
1 x Samsung SH-S223 22X DVD±RW/RAM/DL Serial ATA Black Bare Drive - OEM
1 x Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE 7.1 OEM PCI Soundcard
1 x Arctic Power 700W PSU - With PCI-E, 4x SATA, 20+4, ATX12V, 8pin +12V Connectors - Retail Boxed
1 x Acer X203 20" Widescreen LCD Monitor 1600x900 50,000:1 (Dynamic) 5ms VGA - Black
1 x XTune Shiny Black 2.0 Speakers - 2W RMS - USB Powered
1 x TRUST CLASSIC LINE KEYBOARD UK - EN - USB
1 x Blue LED 3 Button Optical Scroll Mouse - USB
This all came to £1277.82
I am not really bothered about the sound card since i have no real need for precision sound along with the CD drive but i was looking to get as much Ram and Processor power as i possibly could. Any advice would be greatly appreciated it is really bewildering looking at all the different extensions on motherboards or processors and just looking at them and going well if the top is 400 and the bottom is 100 pound ill get the 200 - 300 pound one
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated
