Hi guys i'm looking for a rig? Don't know where to ask and this thread is so hidden ... took me a while to look for this. Don't know where to post but hopefully is here or if someone can redirect me if i post at the wrong thread.

[Budget] : RM10k below

[Purpose] : 3ds max rendering, photoshop (mainly 3d rendering for interiors and architectures.)

[Hardware that will be reuse from old rig] : none, mostly new.

[Monitor resolution] : Doesn't matter

[Game or software that use frequently] : 3ds max, photoshop, lightroom

[Personal Preference Brand] : none

guide please?

Thanks alot guys glad you guys answered ... so thats like the best configuration? erm... what if i tune it down a little like RM 6k? It's for my company ... and I guess with more option it would be better max if definitely RM10k

Thanks alot for so many option ... but sry to bother ... Can just recommend "Fermi- or Kepler-based card with at least 2 GB of video RAM" is recommended for gpu rendering? i think quadro or better? not sure about gaming gpu can it take the load or not
prefer : nvidia since vray support nvidia drivers better

Ok I looked through most of the recommendation and my boss liked it too... i think we can cut cost from the display as we already have a samsung 24"
so that dropped mostly to a price range of 6-7k our only worry is the power supply... well he is worried the power supply wouldn't be sufficient for so high powered computer... I'm looking into the spec will update y'all by tonight what spec i'm considering thanks for the recommendation.

-Core i7-3930 RM1799
-Asus P9X79 Pro motherboard - RM1039
-Nvidia Quadro 2000D 1GB DDR5 - RM1889 (is there any quadro better than this? are there more than 1GB quadro?)
-Rosewill Capstone 750W RM429 or higher (NovusTech@Garage Sales)
-Kingston 8GB DDR3-1600 x2 - RM248 (can probably upgrade to 32GB ram in the future?)
-Corsair Carbide 500R case RM369
-Intel 520 120GB SSD - RM439
-Seagate SV35 2TB hard disk - RM369
Casing ... not sure yet probably :
-Cooler Master CM 690 II Advanced NVIDIA Edition Casing - RM305 or
-Corsair Carbide 500R case RM369
(Don't need to spend too much for the casing but need to be able to put all the stuff inside )
-Noctua NH-D14 CPU Cooler RM279 - does it fit into the casing at all?
-Liteon DVD writer - RM59
-Already own a 24" LED Samsung monitor so no need for it

Price total = around 7288 without monitor.
What do you guys think? Should i increase the power? And would it be stable enough? ( i think i should open a thread to discuss bout this ==)

Oh btw just my own RM3k buget gaming build

CORE I5 3570K 1155 3.40 6MB 694
GTX670 - RM 1299
Value Ram DDR3 8GB PC1333 - RM114 - 169
WD Blue 1TB hard disk - RM240
Xigmatek VC series 600W - RM 199

Any DVD rom/writer - RM60

Total RM 3k+

This is for gaming and personal Can I play skyrim with this? Not in a rush with this build...I wanted a portable casing though one that I can move around easier. Mayb wan to buy monitor so...(wanted a HD screen-though I do own a Lcd but an upgrade would be great ) I wanted a laptop around that price too but it would be y580 n I guess arig would definitely be better since i can upgrade it too Y580
OPT - AOC E2050S led 20" 5MS - RM 299

Ops totally forgot updated edited it...took out the armor a30...wanted a small form casing but ... they don't allow much space for customization? and i'm a newb needed some simple casing but ... still would like to move it around ><

for a total of RM3130 or 3075

Alright the normal one then ... silverstone Tj08 can fit all? isn't it for micro-atx?
well most probably in garage or just somewhere here in Sabah or mudah.com... why?

How about my 10k rig for company? any thoughts?

the company one i want to make sure about the compatibility/issue it have with each of the parts? That is a big budget and i don't want to mess it up. Can u take a look at it again?



I think I'm gonna go for giga ... seen some benchmark and it is a little better. just slightly but IT is better
I think I am gonna buy from garage sales.

Hi I'm looking for 8k price for a rendering workstation. now I've gt a quote last time but this time I need one for a dual processor n a motherboard that can support it.
I heard that 2 processor would be better for rendering speed?
no need for monitor already have. No water cooling too ...I don't think we gt time for maintaining it...
on 2nd thought does Intel have any chip with more than 6core? maybe n 8 core?

Ho guys now im looking for a 1.5k to 1.8k computer for my church.
Its for the pa system n will split to 2 projector. So i need a decent graphic card. Moat probably amd/ati cause its cheaper and provide better performance? :-) can recommend? No need for monitor or mouse/keyboard. The church computer isnt gonna online...so driver support from amd wouldnt be any problem :-)

I'm using a splitter and yea i think it's using vga? Both is old projector. We're going through an upgrade. RM1.5k - RM1.7k. Also got audio but we already have a sound system.
Need something that can play video, audio, mostly entertainment, powerpoint without any hiccups.
I'm gonna be doing some light video editing and audio editing as well.
I heard that AMD is cheaper and better in both performance and price? Not sure about it though.

HTPC? Nope i don't think so... Just normal computer best buck for 1.5k - 1.8k ==

Any recommendation for gpu? no need for monitor

It seems like the i3 come with a hd 4000? heard that it is a decent entry-level graphic card. With my budget i could probably only put another 400 into gpu? (would it be worth it?)
BTW will be doing some audio recording as well and live performance would a sound card be needed?

Oh and I got quoted this for my RM10k Rig.
Intel Core i7-3930 - RM 1819
Corsair H100 Hydro Cooler - RM499
Asus Rampage IV Gene X79 Motherboard - RM 1129
NVIDIA Quadro 2000D 1GB - RM 2799
16GB RAM - RM 398
2TB WD Black - RM 559
120gb SSD - RM 459
DVD Writer - RM 69
750W PSU CoolerMaster (RM 429)
CM Elite 335 Chassis - RM 135

Total = RM 8295
Is it alright?

Erm... the 10k build is for rendering purpose only and sometimes need to be open 24/7 and running full speed the whole day or week. So the build must withstand long hours of renderings thus the hydro cooler, wd black and 1600mhz ram. but still... this is a local build my boss would prefer buying from, so they probably marked up the price or it's expensive due to postage. GTX vs Quadro (both with cuda) which one is better then for rendering?

what kind of psu is recommended for 750W - 800W?

How about any xigmatek at 750W?

Hi guys need advice for soon to be build rig for church. The pastor seem keen on getting a i5 (but i don't think it can fit in budget cuz no built-in graphic card thus we need to get a alternative)
Graphic card for around rm 400-500.

and another rig mayb built with amd trinity? Is trinity good enough?

Budger : RM 1.6k
without monitor , mouse , keyboard.

we need 2 monitor output ... one to the monitor in the station another goes to a splitter which goes to 2 projector ... one in the back another in front. so total 1+1output -> 1+2 monitor.
