New built (3d Animation)

[Romaky]

Hi! I need a new computer for université (3d Animation). I have basic knowledge in computer, but not enough to build my own computer alone. So I asked my friend to help me. He built a good computer, but he asked me to check with other people just in case that he made a mistake somewhere. Here is what he suggested:

(Sorry for my english, I'm from the french part in Canada )

That's it

Thank you very very much!

Replace the motherboard with an Asus P8Z68-V.

Replace the OCZ SSD with an Intel 510.

Replace the OCZ PSU with a Corsair 650TX.

Thanks for the reply! I have a few questions for you:

1. Why do I replace the OCZ SSD with an Intel 510?

OCZ Agility 3:
Maximum Read Transfer Rate 525 MBps
Maximum Write Transfer Rate 500 MBps

Intel 510:
Maximum Read Transfer Rate 450 MBps
Maximum Write Transfer Rate 210 MBps

And the Intel 510 is about 100$ more then the OCZ Agility.

2. And what is better about the Asus P8Z68-V?

Thank you!

Salut,

GLC a beaucoup d'experience.

Il te conseille de prendre le SSD d'intel parce que c'est sa marque de confiance!

Asus, encore une fois, est conseillé partout dans ces forums. C'est LA marque pour les carte mères.

Personellement, ne t'inquiete pas et suis les conseils de GLC. J'ai suivis pas mal à la lettre ce qu'il avait à dire sur mon ordi. Je l'ai construis il y a un mois, et ca marche parfaitement.

C'est cool de voir d'autres gens du Quebec comme toi ici!

Good luck understanding what i said GLC!

[glc]

From Google Translate:

He advises you to take the intel SSD because it is his vote of confidence!

Asus, again, is recommended around these forums. It is THE brand for motherboards.

Personally, do not worry and follow the advice of GLC. I have taken quite literally what he had to say about my computer. I build a month ago, and it works perfectly.

It's cool to see other people from Quebec like you here!

----------------------------------

I recommended the Intel SSD from a reliability standpoint. It's the only brand of SSD that I totally trust.

I recommended the motherboard because it's a Z68 chipset, which is better than the P67.

J'ai recommandé le SSD d'Intel à partir d'un point de vue fiabilité. C'est la seule marque de SSD que je suis totalement confiance.

J'ai recommandé la carte mère parce que c'est un chipset Z68, qui est mieux que le P67.

ahh you weren't supposed to use a translator! :P

good job anyways!

What software will you be running? Is this 3D software that requires Nvidia Quadro cards and Xeon processors? Better make sure your friend knows.

[Romaky]

Glc -> Oh I see, thanks for answering all my questions! You are a great help!

David M -> These are the sofwares that I'll use:
AUTODESK MAYA
AUTODESK SOFTIMAGE
AUTODESK 3DMAX
AUTODESK MUDBOX
AUTODESK MOTION BUILDER
ZBRUSH
SYNTHEYE
PFTRACK
BOUJOU
TOONBOOM
ADOBE PHOTOSHOP
ADOBE AFTER EFFECT
ADOBE PREMIERE
ADOBE SOUNDBOOTH
ADOBE LOGIC
ADOBE MOCHA
STOPMOTION PRO
NUKE
DIGITAL TUTOR

Well the university offer a nice computer to buy, but the price is too high. That is why I wanted to build my own. The computer's processor is the Intel Core i7 2600K.

Thank you all of you!

A GeForce 570 is a good choice for all that software. Both the Autodesk and Adobe products can take advantage of Nvidia's CUDA technology, and the 570 has 480 CUDA cores. Even the $3800 Quadro 6000 doesn't have that many CUDA cores.

Thanks everyone! You were a great help!

Ak27: Ouais c'est rare de rencontrer des québécois sur des forums anglais! :P
