Re: I need help in building a PC for my son (in 10+2) for beginners in animation fie

i7 930 @14K
Motherboard ??
GTS 250 @ 7K
Corsair 4 GB DDR3 1600 @ 6.8K
WD Blue 500 GB @ 2K
Corsair 550W @ 4.7K
Case (as per availability) @2.5K
KB, Mouse, Case, Monitor, UPS - I shall use existing.
I have finalized the above (though over budget) and searching for Mobo which can be OC automatically with minimum user interferance like in MSI P55GD80.
Thanks everybody for suggestions.

are you kidding me, most of the ppl are recommending AMD these days, specially thuban(AMD 6 core proccy) as its really good for rendering purpose!

hey,

AMD X6 1090T is must Faster then Intel Core i7 i930.

I was using my i7 930 but my brother's new system is AMD X6 1090T. Its must faster and i am trying to exchange my system with my brother.

go for AMD.

Its really good. worth money and unbelievable performance.

wait
x6 is faster in rendering and animation and all
core i7 930 rocks in gaming, x6 cant beat that in gaming

Re: I need help in building a PC for my son (in 10+2) for beginners in animation fie

^^ yes true. ok look here:

i7 930: fast. its damn fast. cost around 14k (X6 is same). mobo minimum cost is 10K+. can be OC to extreme level.

X6 1090T: a bit slower than i7 930. beats i7 930 in threaded apps. looses badly in single threaded apps. can be OC in stock cooler to 3.8Ghz safely. but its biggest point is it can be used in even a 3k mobo without affecting performance.

so OP should decide accordingly.

but my suggestion is go for X6 1055T. its cost below 10k & at 2.8Ghz. it is fast. its little slower than X6 1090T but spending over 4k just to get 400Mhz extra. 1055T makes a lot of sense. get 1090T if you can afford.

I'd recommend this. This config is perfectly balanced for your son's work.

benchmark results at anandtech.com show even i5 750 competes with 1055T. More Wins than Loses and that too with marginal differences. There is, however, no test result for i7 930.

Re: I need help in building a PC for my son (in 10+2) for beginners in animation fie

it sometimes depends on which game you are playing....does it stress the gpu more, does it uses more cores efficiently, does it prefer clock speed more and many other things.....overall i7 930 is meant for gaming...

Since your son is into moderate Gaming AMD phenom II x6 1055T or 1090T is sufficient, the 1090T is just few frames below i7-930 in most of the games, and 1055T will without doubt run all the games and future games and performance even though below 1090T is a balanced buy for animation and gaming.

Bobby23 do you think Jaskanwar Singh's config will be better than yours for my purpose?

 

[bobby23]

Re: I need help in building a PC for my son (in 10+2) for beginners in animation fie

@ysmonyog yes his configuration is better since it's mostly for animation purpose the extra two cores in AMD x6 1055T will come in handy

I have today placed the order for the config suggested by Jaskanwar Singh - except monitor and with CM500W EXTREME PSU.
Thanks everyone for the help.

^^

For PSU, opt for FSP Saga II 500W as your system is not-so heavy. Its pretty cheap and good too.

where have you placed the order(which shop or site)?

Really bad choice. Please change it.

I had to cancel (for the time being) my full order on 15th itself due to sudden demise of my father that day.

Re: I need help in building a PC for my son (in 10+2) for beginners in animation fie

Well... i being working on 3d for almost 3-4 yrs i can say u dont need a very hi-fi GPU for ur machine. U can go for QuadroFX card as they are meant for Animation work and viewport rendering. But yes to be on a safer side i will advice to go with Nvidia cards as it will support both Max and Maya. For Rendering purpose u need a good processor and i will say stick to i7 if budget allows so.

Also, AMDs are generally used in the animation industry, so don't have a negative feeling about AMD.

Also get a good cooling system as for rendering sometime u might have to keep your machine on for 3-4 days...

Now my budget is very tight. I want to buy GPU a few months later. Pl suggest motherboard for 1055T with onboard graphics with 890 chipset (if it is better than 785 chipset).
Do Nvidia GPU support AMD motherboards? If yes pl suggest if GTX 460 will perform better?
And PSU for new setup?

Re: I need help in building a PC for my son (in 10+2) for beginners in animation fie

^^ impossible. cheapest 890GX will be around 6.5k or so from Biostar. so stick to the board mentioned above. also currently only Zotac & Palit 460GTX avl here & both are bad. so wait for EVGA or go with HD5770/HD5850. keep PSU same. won't cause any problem.
