Hi , I am student of animation and i want to buy a system for computer graphics. I am using photoshop and maya . My computer yet has a terrible cpu - celeron d 3.33 Ghz - I render a simple scene with default settings in mental ray and size 640 x 480 for 10:13 minutes . I wonder what a system i need - the first variant is Gigabyte MA770-UD3( http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=2982 ) mb and phenom 2 x4 940 and i can use my current components like ram ddr2 800 mhz , harddrive 160 gb , ati 4850 vaporx 512 mb and i hope my psu - 400w (will be enough?) : this will cost me 240 euro. The other variant is: core i 7 , Asus P6T Deluxe V2 , psu 750 w , and ram ddr3 6gb crossair 1333mhz - this will cost me arround 750 euro . I want to know if the second variant deserves the money difference which is hudge. Once again i will use the computer only for maya and photoshop . I don't have an intention to upgrade for at least 1 year .Please for some advices. Thanks in advance
