3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: no

4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Win7 Ultimate.
I will learn Linux, so will run Linux also.


5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: 1TB total
If you find that SSD is required in my case and budget .. please suggest.


6. Do you want to buy a monitor?
Ans: Yes, 24", 1080p Full HD.
Whichever monitor will help me to get brighter colors, please suggest that. I am in Animation field.

have a look at this thread., get a better mobo, better cabby, remove pen tablet, Dell Ultrasharp 23 inch in around 15K or added 4-5 K for U2412 Ultrasharp

also consider NZXT Phantom for cabby as it is price in 7-8K and is full tower and very goo looking cabby.

Thanks for a quick reply.

Please clear my concerns about graphic card.
which graphic card should I buy ?
Should I go for Quadro 4000 ??

Please suggest one.

Please clearify the mobo. , also does it support more than one graphic cards ?

What exactly advantages would I get by buying an SSD?


Thanks

If you can afford, go for Quadro. Not sure about the model, but will let you know as my bro is an animator. As far as the mobo is concerned, it should be SLI/Crossfire ready to support multiple graphic cards. (SLI for nVidia, CF for AMD)

SSD is meant for fast booting and loading of apps installed on it. Buy either 128GB Samsung 830 series or Crucial m4.

For monitor, look none other than> ASUS - Display- ASUS PA248Q Don't settle below 24 inches.

Normal Graphic cards are of no use when u render... the components which helps most while rendering is the Ram and the Number of Cores on CPU. Each core gives one bucket for rendering... my old Q6600 gives me 4 cores for rendering. Quadro GPU will give u help when u are viewing on view port for Max or Maya.

@OP, If you check the thread, and go through it throughly you question will be answered
@sujay can you tell about its availability

Dell Ultrasharp series is best VFM IPS panels, as far as Indian market is concerned
I have seen many reviews for Asus Panels, they are good as all Asus products are but I never get to see them here.

which cabby is HAF 7200
M
Aug 28, 2012 at 12:18 PM
Soory .. HAF 922..

And
I have 2 mobo in my mind ..

ASUS P8Z77-V PRO
and
Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3R

which one will be perfect for me ?


ASUS PA248Q is too pricey for my budget... I am looking for dell ultrasharp 23 or 24"

which PSU should i choose ?

and For CPU cooling what about "Corsair Hydro Series H100"
PLEASE SOME ONE GIVE ME A LIST OF COMPONENTS ..

Ok so should I go for a 20+ GB RAM and a lower graphic card than Quadro 4000 ??
Please suggest one graphic card.

PSU > Keeping SLI in mind, HX850 should be enough for it. Opt for modular PSUs.

And if you aren't OCing to extreme, then water cooling is not required. CM hyper 212 evo should suffice.

Ok so should I go for a 20+ GB RAM and a lower graphic card than Quadro 4000 ??
Please suggest one graphic card.

8GB is more than enough, but settle for 4*4GB for future proofing. 20GB+ won't do any good.

hahaha ati V4800 fire pro or something is the name

buy 2 chips of 8GB RAM and make it 16 GB, that will be safest move because we end up a lot of multitasking

Please note, there is nothing wrong in debate for software price, pay or not pay or such things, however I am sorry to point but the discussion is off topic to the thread.

I have specifically requested help for a hardware only configuration. I may or may not have budget or plan for software but that is not the point of this discussion, hence I request all not drive down to the debate of to or not to pay for software.

No hard feelings.

following hardware configuration is by far my selection,

Intel 3rd Gen Core i7 3770 / 3.90 GHz / LGA1155 -> Rs. 20,000
Intel Original DH77EB / LGA1155 / SATA3 / USB3 -> Rs. 7,200
Cooler Master Hyper 212 / EVO / 120mm -> Rs. 2,200
16GB (2x8) DDR3 1600MHz Corsiar Vengence -> Rs. 7,200
Western Digital (WD) 1TB / SATA 3.0 (6 GBPS) / 64MB Buffer / 7200 RPM -> Rs. 5,200
ATI / AMD FirePro v4800 / 1GB GDDR5 / PCI-E 2.0 -> Rs. 10,700
Any DVD RW -> Rs. 1,000
Corsiar VS450 / 450w / PCI-E Connector -> Rs. 2,600
Cooler Master Elit 310 -> Rs. 2,200
IPS / Super PLS Based LED 22" - 23" -24" Panel / 3 yr warrenty onsite / (Max budget 15k) -> Rs. 15,000
iBall 8060U Pen Tablet -> Rs. 4,500
Microsoft or Logitech Combo (Under PS2 Interface) -> Rs. 1,000
Creative or Altek 2.1 -> Rs. 2,500
APC UPS -> Rs. 2,200

Total -> Rs. 83,500/-

Thanks

make this the base and do your additions

@martin.stallone
SSD won't improve render times.It would make ths OS and applications more responsive.Would reduce the start time of appliactions.That's it.

Whether you need to go for a firepro or a quadro depends upon the applications you use.
In case of Maya viewport rendering a firepro v5800 is much faster(mainly in shaded rendering) than that of a quadro 4000.
In Lightwave also the firepro is much faster.If it is 3dsmax then the quadro is much faster than the firepro v5800.

*i.imgur.com/aH6sy.jpg?1 *i.imgur.com/PmhK3.jpg?1
*i.imgur.com/RUqRC.jpg?1 *i.imgur.com/GuVA8.jpg?1


Firepro v5800 is available for 25.5k whereas quadro 4000 is 47k at golchhait.com
At 10.5k firepro v4800 is the best value product if you can get one.
Actually the card to get is firepro v4900 but it is not available anywhere.It performs close to v5900 and beats v5800 in many tests.

Though graphic cards can handle viewport rendering,final rendering is done by the CPU.i7 2600k with help of its hyperthreading would be anywhere between 15 -20% faster than i5 2500k.

@ajayashish, suggest mobo + proccy + RAM combo for it

4x4GB is not much good swtich to 2x8GB you will have free DIMM, and price difference is not much

Thanks.. I would go for 8x2

@vkl

Thanks a lot for giving this much info and comparision about both graphic cards ..
those for max and lighwave ..

what about maya ?
for rendering and 3D stuff .. 99% I will use maya

@ martin.stallone
First 2 pics show about maya viewport rendering.In shaded rendering v4800,v5800,v5900 are much faster than quadro 4000.For maya take a firepro card.
I have already mentioned V5800 costs around 25k and is available at flipkart.

I can extend 5-8k more ..

Aug 28, 2012 at 3:50 PM
^^Get the firepro v4800.It has more value for the money you pay for it.Firepro v5800 is noticeably faster but not worth 2.5x the price of v4800.
If you want then you can go with v5800 also.

Would you overclock the processor?
If no then go for i7 2600 or i7 3770.
i7 3770 is around 20k and runs hotter than i7 2600 but performance difference between them is not much.If you are going for i7 3770 then get Gskill ripjaws(1600MHz)RAM.

Aug 28, 2012 at 4:28 PM
^^The rig is good enough.The rig is overclockable though.
It's better as if after 2-3 years you might feel the need for more performance then you can simply overclock the processor.

Try to get WD 1TB caviar blue as it has 2 years warranty compared to 1 year of the seagate drive.
If you want then you can go for a modular PSU like corsair HX650 for the same price.Modular PSU for better cable management.
The tdp of these firepro cards is very low(even cx500v2 can handle 2 of them crossfired).

Hello Friends..

Today I visited whole electronic market here in bangalore .. and got different quotations of whole PC from different stores.

Here are the best one .. (others are more expensive)


Intel Core i7 3770k - 19,500/-
ASUS P8Z77-V PRO - 16,500/-
G.Skill RipjawsZ DDR3 16 GB(F3-12800CL9Q-16GBZL) - 3500x2 .. = 7,000/-
ATI Firepro 5900 29,750/-
Seagate Baracuda 1 TB 7200 RPM HDD (64 MB Cache) - 4,350/-
ASUS 24X Sata Black DVD - 975/-
Corsair TX850M - 7,150/-
NZXT Phantom - 6,500/-
Dell Ultrasharp 23" - 14,000/-
Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo - 2,250/-
APC 1.1Kva - 4,950/-
Logitech g300 gaming mouse - 1,550/-
Microsoft Wireless Desktop 800 Wireless Keyboard (Black) - 1,150/-


Total is 1,15,625/-
They sell everything at 5.5% tax+
so everything is coming around 1,21,980/-

Now ... 15000/- is been extended :( :(

I dont want to lose my GRAPHIC CARD, RAM, CASE, KEYBRD-MOUSE & MONITOR.

PLEASE suggest some cheap
PSU, CPU Cooling, Mobo (should support more thn 1 graphic card).



well I thought of going ATI Firepro 5800 instead of 5900.. It will decrease nearly 5000 rs.

Hi,

You don't need over clocking so why choosing that motherboard which is meant for OC hence costing more ?? Chose Intel Original DH77EB motherboard @ Rs. 7200/-.. I don't think there will be any performance difference unless you plan Over clocking

Secondly, power consumption of you system may not require such larger PSU, i am no expert, let the experts provide their view whether actually you need such high PSU or VS450 will do which is Rs. 2600/-

So this 2 change should save you around 13k.

last of all, why such large UPS in terms of load rather backup ?? UPS is more of a backup for short time frame, not meant to longer operation hence spending 2500 more from APC 650 va to 1.1kva wont give you really great backup time rather its meant to carry more load rather backup time increment !!

So save money and chose 650VA @ 2200/-

This should solve that budget exceed of 15k and get you rig in your desired budget :)

Last and least, I think you wont assemble yourself, so one piece of advice, be present while they assemble the system since people are known for switching the products while they assemble in shop :-x

One more personal view, add an extra CPU cooler to replace intel stock cooler, chose Cooler Master Hyper 212 / EVO / 120mm -> Rs. 2,200

You can go for ASUS P8Z77-VLX for 11k.It supports crossfirex but not sli(don't think you need it).
For PSU you can go for Seasonic S12II 520w for around 4k.
For cabinet corsair carbide 400r is a very good option.

I agree about over clocking config since proper Over clocking will definitely increase the performance interns rendering time and such by 25 to 30% but to get such, further increment is needed to add proper external cooling (liquid), if that is not the case then reduce any selection which is meant for OC purpose and increase hardware like a SSD or such !!

APC 600 va - 4,950/-
Logitech g300 gaming mouse
Microsoft Wireless Desktop 800 Wireless Keyboard (Black)
-----


I am facing lots of problems ..

in every post I told that I want a mobo which can support 2 graphic card .. But this mobo doesn't .. Totally screwed here..
secondly that fan which is over i7 covered the space of one RAM slot. I can insert only 3 RAMs now .. 4th slot is been covered. :( :( :( :( :(
,
now in future if I want to have another graphic card. I have to buy another mobo ! :(

so disappointed..


--

BUT overall its a good pc and came around 93,000/-

Thanks Again :)

You are facing problems because you've bought the wrong motherboard. Every suggestion here asked you to go with Z77 chipset based mobo when you are going with Intel K series processor, like the one you've got, 37770K. Now you can't overclock also. K Series + Z77/Z68 chipset based motherboard make sense as they will offer you features you have asked for.
However, Crossfire or SLI of Graphic cards mainly help in Gaming, not in pure rendering. I don't think CF of two Firepro card will double the performance.

I didnt want to overclock, so 37770k is ok for me.
"Crossfire or SLI of Graphic cards mainly help in Gaming, not in pure rendering. I don't think CF of two Firepro card will double the performance."

what is 'CF' here?

and I have a 10000 more. what best I can do with it ? please tell me
I have one slot of RAM, should I increase 8GB more?

If I sell my mobo, than minimum what amount it will get sold ?
...

Please suggest me what best I can do
my PC ratings are

I didnt want to overclock, so 37770k is ok for me.
"Crossfire or SLI of Graphic cards mainly help in Gaming, not in pure rendering. I don't think CF of two Firepro card will double the performance."

what is 'CF' here?

and I have a 10000 more. what best I can do with it ? please tell me
I have one slot of RAM, should I increase 8GB more?

If I sell my mobo, than minimum what amount it will get sold ?
...

Please suggest me what best I can do
my PC ratings are

Processor - 7.7
RAM - 7.7
Graphics - 7.2
Gaming Graphics - 7.2
HDD - 5.9

If you didn't want to overclock then why i7 3770k instead of i7 3770.
I think you got confused.
It was mentioned that if you want to go for an overclock-able/k-series i7 processor then you need to go with a z77 motherboard.
CF=crossfirex.
For Z77 motherboard,you can get asrock z77 extreme4 for around ~10k or asrock pro4~9k.There are many other options.

@vkl: He meant to ask what price he will get if he sells his newly purchased mobo, the Intel DH77EB.

@OP: As viewed in the picture, turn the heatsink 90degrees anti clockwise. (Fan facing the rear end of the cabinet). This should free the ram slot next to the processor.
Do the same even if you switch the mobo.

Should have gotten the final config confirmed here before purchasing.

Ok :(

My fault guys. Bad experience.

now the best is to turn the fan ? thats all.
I think if now I want to upgrade or to do something, I should have a budget of atleast 20k, right?
what advantage would I get if I increase RAM ?

@Myth
Yes I know.
Just suggesting him for a Z77 motherboard if requires one.What is the use of buying an i7 3770k if he didn't want to overclock?
As he mentioned today that he didn't want to overclock then he should have gone for i7 3770.Just that.

@martin.stallone
How much RAM you would require will depend on the texture,geometry,number of polygons,lighting,length of the scene,resolution.
Now if the RAM requirement is not that much then 8GB should be more than enough.
For larger models or models with very large number of polygons there might be more RAM requirement.
8GB should be enough.It might happen that you might require more RAM if your usage is high.
You would know the requirement by your usage.
If the system doesn't require that much RAM for your workloads then more RAM would have no effect.

@vkl
I just thought you misread his question :p
The various suggestions probably confused OP as to which mobo is the correct match for a 'k' series proc.
Good thing you suggested the z77 mobos.

@OP.
Dispose the current mobo (minimal loss as compared to disposing the proc). Take a Z77 mobo as vkl suggested.
Pay attention to what people are posting here. When in doubt, feel free to ask again before taking any action.
I said turn the heatsink(the metal portion), not the fan. The fan is just attached to the heatsink.

^^Suggested him some Z77 mobos if he required one as he said he wanted to sell his current motherboard.
Anyway,if he doesn't want to overclock he should be ok with his current h77 motherboard.

What's the current setup.
If you have 8gb try setting more page file say 17gb it might be limited.

Also post screen shot of ram usage while you get the error message

@ macho84
I googled and got the solution ... there is an option under vray settings tab in maya to increase the Dynamic memory value.

Do I need any TV tuner card to watch TV on my Dell u2312hm ? or its inbuilt ?

alright ..

this is my config.

Intel Core i7 3770k -
Intel Original DH77EB
G.Skill RipjawsZ DDR3 16 GB(F3-12800CL9Q-16GBZL)
ATI Firepro v5800
WD 1 TB 7200 RPM HDD (64 MB Cache)
LG 24X Sata Black DVD -
Corsair TX850M -
NZXT Phantom
Dell Ultrasharp 23"
Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo
APC 600 va
Logitech g300 gaming mouse
Microsoft Wireless Desktop 800 Wireless Keyboard (Black)


I want to upgrade it and have a budget of 20k.

I want a motherboard which supports 2 Processor, as well as 2 graphic cards, I am planning to get an i3 processor .. I want more number of threads/core right now , for rendering purpose.
Please suggest a cheap motherboard which has this feature.

Also I have an ATI GPU.
Softwares like maya requires a Cuda card in some cases..
Please suggest one cheapest cuda card too. :)


Please tell me that what will be the advantage if I overclock my processor ?? if it is having a huge advantage, I will overclock it.


I can think of increasing the amount If it goes out of my budget,

Thanks.

For using multiple cpus, you need xeon processor. Consumer processors cannot be used simultaneously because they lack qpi. On motherboard under 40k supports multiple cpus.

and If i get a z77 motherboard, is it possible to plug 2 GPUs at the same time ?

Yes, it is possible to use SLI (in case of nVidia) or Crossfire (in case of AMD) provided the Motherboard does have two PCI-E X16 slots running @ X8-X8 speed.

will plugging in 2 graphic cards effect rendering speed ?

I believe rendering speed depends on number of threads and RAM.

according to my specs. what should I do to increase rendering speed ?? :-? :-? :-?

Buddy, rendering does depend on GPU too. Do us a favor, mention the nae of the software you are going to use.

I am using MAXON Cinema 4D as my primary 3D engine and Autodesk Maya for secondary, rendering using vray plugin in both of them.

Have you already purchased the V5800?

yes, I am using it.
