Hello!
My name is Samuel, i am from Chennai. Planning to Upgrade my existing system.
I bought a high end specs rig for professional 3D modelling, animation and Video Editing/FX works in Jan 2011. The specs are as follows.
Intel i7-950 3.06Ghz Procesor.
Intel WX58BP Motherboard.
Crosair 4GB DDR 1333 RAM - 3
Segate 2tb SATA HDD
Intel 80GB SSD
LG 22x DVD RW
Logitec Gaming MX518 Mouse
Dell 24' LCD Monitor
Cooler Maser Case RC 690
Crosair 750TXUK SMPS
Leadtek FX1800 Quadra 768MB PCIX (GFX)
CREATIVE SOUNT CARD titanium.
The problem with this Rig is that Lately i have been experiencing problems in rendering 3D outputs, videos and running
latest applications. I also started playing PC games, something i never did before buying this Rig. Some older games ran kinda perfectly well, that is until i purchased, installed GTA 4 with DLC's, Skyrim with DLC's and modded them like a crazy lunatic. I started experiencing 'Crash to Desktops' and 'Lagging' and 'Corrupt save files'.
Last month the system crashed for the first time, I found Over heating to be the Issue. The processor fan had malfunctioned. I use my system in a well ventilated, Air-Conditioned Room.
So please guys, Help me on Upgrading this system.
What i want to know is that Can i salvage anything form this Existing Rig, If so what, if not; Can i just change the Mother Board, Processor and the Graphics Card alone and nothing ELSE to better fit my Budget.
It would also be help full if i could get the Latest Specs for a Gaming Rig, just the Mother Board, Processor and the Graphics Card enabling me to use my RAM, SMPS, HDD and Case. Would be nice if i could use my Existing Processor, Ram and Graphics card in a New Mother Board.
Also let me know about Liquid Cooling. And would it be possible for me to use it.
Hope i was clear about my Query.
1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Stupid answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work. Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.')
Ans: The system will be used for Gaming, Capturing Game Play, Live Streaming and Video Editing, 3D modeling, rendering and VFX. I will be using applications like After Effects, Premiere Pro, 3ds Max 2016, Maya 2016, Blender, Real Flow, Cinema 4D, Nuke 8, Modo and Photoshop. Playing games like, GTA V, Skyrim (Heavily Modded '240+mods), Witcher 3, Far Cry 4, Fallout 3, Minecraft, Call of Duty AW & BOps, Battelfield 4 , Dark Souls, Assains Creed, Elder Scrolls Online and Dragon Age Inquisition.
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: As i don't need the entire System i Planing to Keep the Budget under 60,000 Rs. But if required i am willing to Go as far as 80,000.

Ans: I have a Dell 24" Full HD monitor and a Dell 80 cm Ultra Sharp Monitor.

B - Cabinet ( I have a Cooler Master Case RC 690)
C - SMPS ( Have a Crosair 750TXUK)
D - Keyboard
E - Mouse
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: Month of May 2015
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
