budget computer for gaming and 3d-ani

czepluch · 02-04-2008, 10:22 AM

Hi.

I'm doing a lot of 3-d animation in my sparetime. Nothing serious, but anyway I would like to have a nice computer without too much render time. (using a laptop at this moment) I also game often.

My budget is around 1700 $ I'm going with antec 900 and I do not need screen mouse or keyboard.

Hope someone willl help

So you really think I should do it even though it's 65nm?

Why not just overclock the E8400? Isn't that more powerful then?

u said u like to do 3-D animation a quad core will do it better than a duel core oh yea i would get 4G of ram to help with your 3-D stuff
if u got the E8400 an overclocked it it would have more MHz but not as powerfull at the quad core Q6600 @3.0
