Guys, I need help to build a rig for stuff like 3D animation making since i'm taking the course on college and it's alright for gaming. More for animation,spare time gaming.

[Budget]: rm2000 - 2600

[Requirements of the rig]:-

1: 3D animation software best for

2: Quad-Core Processor

3: Is good for gaming too

4: Smooth when making 3D projects

No need to include mouse,speaker or screen.

Hopefully a cheaper casing, as i like my money spend more towards gpu's , mobo , processor and so.

Thank you very much

helo.is it good to play medium setting games with prebuilt rig such as acer,hp,dell ( exclude Alienware )
and so on ?

Definitely no. Unless you are going 720p or less.

my current rig
CPU: i3 4150
RAM: Kingston HyperX fury 1600mhz 8gb single
Mobo: MSI B85-G43
PSU: Aerocool KCAS 600W 80+ Bronze
GPU: Saphhire R9 270 2gb OC with boost
Chassis: Thermaltake Versa H25

What component should I upgrade? currently on my full hd monitor .. atleast I wanna to play current gen games like shadow mordor on high setting.. ( I dont tested it yet but from light reading i think my gpu is up for the task but just wondering whether my cpu can)

Help in building gaming rig

Budget: 3.5k max
Plan on using a gtx 970, include also a cpu aftermarket cooler

Excluding peripherals, monitor and dvd writer

Thanks in advance

You would want at least i5 for 2014 to current games. Games are demanding more CPU now.

Hi TrixtanX,

what would you advise me if i were to change one or two of the items in your list to better ones?

Please and thanks

^^better get GTX 970 & xeon processor.

Depends on what you gonna change.

Thanks for your input, i either will be changing the proc to a xeon or i'll just pump some money into proc cooler and fans...

Do Xeon and third party CPU cooler.

Btw, any particular reason for the H97 chipset? I was thinking of the B85 vanguard from asus..looks good with heat sinks...
also, are M-ATX chasis like the bitfenix prodigy unnecessary?

thank you

Thank you for the help,and sorry to bother you. The dvd writer part is i'm unsure of because i'm inexperienced at computer building. Can you please recommend one to me thanks.

Just buy any brand. It makes no difference now.
4 RAM slots for that H97 board. More expansion slots.

You will need to change the motherboard to M-ATX for Bitfenix Prodigy M.

Yeah, you can go B85 Vanguard if you want that instead.
