Hi people I am looking for some advice on building a new windows based PC as my old Dell XPS400 has just about had it.
I already have a 2 year old AMD built system but I use this purely for design work(Adobe AE, C4D, Autodesk etc) and don’t have it connected to the net.
So what I wanted to do was build another PC that can do general surfing of net etc but also help with net rendering along side my AMD PC and design work when needed.
I will not be using the new build for gaming just design and surfing net.
I am planning in the future to use the Octane render so GPU is also important on this build.
So before I get to far into this and I know people will cringe a little but I think I want to stick with an AMD build as the processor is way cheaper and is more in line with my budget of between £500 - £650. I have also read that mixing AMD and Intel for net rendering can cause problems.
I will re-use some of the parts from the old Dell such as SSD’s, DVD drive, keyboard etc.
As my budget is tight I will be adding just enough RAM, maybe 8GB then add to this later down the line when I have a bit more cash so this way I can put more money into the main parts of the build.
Any help on a system build would be much appreciated,
So far I have the following parts in mind:
[ul]
[li] 990FX R2.0 AMD Asus Sabertooth AM3+ ATX Motherboard
[/li][li] CoolerMaster N-Series N200 USB 3.0 Micro-ATX Case
[/li][li] Corsair H80i Hydro Series Extreme Performance CPU Cooling
[/li][li] Corsair 750W CX Builder Series 80PLUS Bronze PSU
[/li][li] AMD FX-9590 5GHz Max Turbo AM3+ Black Edition 8-Core 8MB OEM
[/li][/ul]That’s £459
RAM? don’t know what type to get yet but want it to run efficiently with processor. Need 8GB to start.
GPU? Need advice on this - totally confused:banghead:
Thanks people for any advice.
