guys,
yesterday when he asked for the config, he was told that core i5 has overheating problem, he won't be able to run his pc properly, he even been threatened that i5 will set his pc on fire, and in that case they wont take any responsibility for his pc!!!

they insisted him to buy i3 :(

is there any such issue?

epic :grin: which idiot told this?

You need nvidia card for your use.

^^ Nice suggestion d6bmg; pretty much balanced. But one thing: All the applications mentioned by OP are supported by AMD APP (Accelerated Parallel Processing, Counterpart of Nvidia CUDA) too.

So around 8K, OP can opt for a HD 6790 too. It will also offer better gaming performance than GTX 550Ti and also less power hungry.

Thanks. I thought that Cuda technology of nVidia is more matured in terms of handling 3D apps. :unsure:

or get Core i7 2600 @ 16000.

couldn't get MSI H67MA-E35 B3 can you recommend few alternatives?

Hi The guy who want to buy - The "experts" here suggesting you a GeForce/Radeon should go through this please asap. I am also going to reason with hard facts like the guys at toms.

After our latest round of OpenGL workstation articles, we received numerous questions about why we didn't include a gaming series in our testing. It seems that not all of our readers were ready to accept our claims that gaming cards run more slowly than workstation graphics cards, especially where professional applications are concerned. That's why we include a comparison with hard numbers instead of vague generalizations in this story.

Performance Comparison: Viewperf 10
Graphics adapter Radeon HD 4870 FirePro V8700
Chip RV770 RV770
Memory bus 256-bit 256-bit
Core Takt 750 MHz 750 MHz
Memory clock 900 MHz 850 MHz
Driver Catalyst 9.1 FirePro 8.543
3dsmax-04 (3D Studio Max) 23.35 44.23
Catia-02 17.9 44.95
Ensight-03 27.58 46.96
Maya-02 40.12 240.2
Proe-04 (Pro/Engineer) 13.82 45.39
SW-01 (Solidworks) 30.75 103.33
Tcvis-01 (UGS Teamcenter Visualization) 8.15 37.78
Ugnx-01 (UGS NX) 16.64 56.93

As you can clearly see, the ATI driver programmers have done an amazing job. The two models' hardware is 99% identical, and yet the FirePro adapter completely outclasses the cheaper Radeon gaming card. The most extreme case in point is Maya, where the FirePro V8700 is six times faster than the Radeon HD 4870.

We also decided to investigate if there were visible differences in picture quality between the two models. On a basic Windows desktop we discovered no discrepancies, but as soon as you load a professional graphics application such as Maya or 3ds Max and import a complex 3D model, things change completely. When using the Radeon, you simply have to accept that wire frames will peek out of shaded surfaces all over the place, and that significant clipping occurs as numerous objects are viewed or animated. These phenomena simply don't occur when using the FirePro. Bottom line: those who seek to be frugal with expensive workstation applications should not fall prey to false economies.

try this -

Phenom II X6 1090T - 9k
2x2GB @ 1600MHz - 1.5k
Gigabyte 880G - 5k
FirePro V3800(~ HD5570) - ~8k
ASUS 24X Sata Black DVD - 1k
FSP Saga II 500 - 2.5k
CM Elite 311 - ~2k
Benq G2222HDL - 7k
Logitech MK200 - 0.7k

Total - ~37k

This machine should do the trick!!
In my view higher no of cores are always better for multimedia/virtualization etc..
You can also go for core i5 2500/2500K or higher for cpu although 2320 should be slower than 1090T....

Enjoy.. ;)

Lionking, your suggestion makes perfect sense; Ya, OP never mentioned that he needs the Gfx card for gaming. So I think he can go with a workstation card if rendering work is the main concern. Remember, the the other side of the coin, Workstation cards don't perform well in gaming.

Away from Forums, Again!
Much better config given by LionKing. I would suggesting bumping the motherboard to atleast an ASUS M5A97 or better, Gigabyte GA970A-UD3, as using an X6 1100T on an 880 chipset is really not recommended.
