I really need a quad core and a motherboard which supports quad. I am into:
1) 3d rendering
2) photoshop
3) gaming (not highest priority)
The total money i can spend is Rs 30,000 ($630).
I had a really old mobo (945) with pentium D. When rendering it heats up and the pc slows down to a halt. I have bought all the other new components i need, except the processor and mobo. Please give me details about which ones are right for my purpose and which is quite available everywhere.
