core 2 quad 2.83ghz,8gb memory, 1gb asus 9400 graphic card.

i am providing services for animation walk through and modeling.
i am using 3dmax and vray.

my problem for buy new one.

i want to make a single file of .max with 600000000 polygon.
currently my file was reach at 600000 polygon. but my pc is not performing well.
(view port is not moving smoothly)
project delivery date is near. but my work is much pending, regarding of pc problem.

which machine is best to me??

I wan to run these programs, may 2-3 at the same time :

Adobe Photoshop
Adobe Illustrator
3d Max
Maya
After effects
Syflex
VRay
Houdini
Realflow
Renderman

Now I should ideally be looking at this beast :
SYX OVERCLOCKABLE I7 GAMING PC
http://www.circuitcity.com/applicati…4&Sku=SYX-1052

But unfortunately I do not have that kind of money. I do not know how much would it cost to custom make that kind of desktop and who can make it for me in cheap cost. Some imputs regarding that would be appreciated too.

I was looking into these desktops lately :

1) HP Factory Refurbished Pavilion Elite HPE-170T Desktop – 8GB DDR3, 750GB HDD, Core i7-860~3.46GHz Quad-Core WIFI

2) HP – Factory-Refurbished Pavilion Desktop / Intel® Core™2 Quad Processor / 7GB Memory / 1TB Hard Drive

3) Gateway – Desktop / Intel® Core™ i7 Processor / 8GB Memory / 1TB Hard Drive

4) Lenovo – Ideacentre Desktop / Intel® Core™ i7 Processor / 8GB Memory / 1TB Hard Drive
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Lenovo+-…&skuId=9979887

These are all that I could find … i will add some if i find some later. Please advice me which one would be good within $900 range ( max). Also some advice on the approx. cost and assemblers regarding a specific configuration or for the above SYX OVERCLOCKABLE I7 GAMING PC would be really appreciated. I would be looking for some real helpful feedbacks. Thank you:o

The laptop I work from handles my graphic designing part of work fine. When it comes to rendering some 3d work and some of my After Effects projects with HD footage, it tends to crash and stutter way too much. I know I should probably go Mac, but at the moment I do not have the money. I am looking to spend $1,500 – $2,000 on the CPU not including the monitor and what not. I plan on doing dual monitors both at a nice size. The computer I am looking at right now is this – http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati…054&CatId=4928 –

I know this is a gaming pc, but I feel like going in this lane would be the right choice. I want my computer to not stutter when working on MASSIVE projects in After Effects or 3DS Max. Any advice people? I want atleast 8GB ram, DDR3, and a very good graphics card. Also, is Windows 7 legit? I’m working on vista on my laptop.

Thanks in advance for the help! :thanks:

At first I’m sorry for my english guys…

I’m interested in buying 27” imac (new gen) and I would like to know how is this hardware usable for practical work. I work as professional editor and director – usually on documentary and promotional videos. I’m able to use after effects.

For my work I need just classical editing tools like Final Cut, but I’m also doing "my stuff" – movies. I need it basically for compositing, some 3D stuff is done by external co-worker. I’m just "putting layers together".

I’m not planning to use Smoke or Nuke, because it’s out of my financial capacity, but maybe one day.
Lot of people said to me, that I should buy Mac Pro, which is quite expensive here in Czech Republic, I want to know if 27 inch iMac is realistically usable machine for serious work with FCS and if its powerful enough for coloring, motion or AE.

THanks for answer
