      I'm about to buy a new PC. Can someone who understands this stuff better than me please advise:

      Option one: Intel Xeon quad core 3.5 ghz turbo, 1 GB nvidia quadro k600, 8 gb ram.

      Option two: Intel core i7 4790 4 ghz, 1 gb nvidia GeForce gt720, 8gb ram.

      Option two is about £200 cheaper, and includes a decent monitor, which option one doesn't. So adding in a monitor, the price difference is pretty big. My question is, will I notice a massive benefit going with the higher spec (option 1) machine? Using SU, Thea4SU and photoshop. Will option two be up to the task? I don't generally work with massive files, just looking for decent performance and sensible render times really.

      Advice appreciated!

      Thanks,

      Andy

        Thea and Photoshop, I'd suggest a better GPU, at least one with minimum 4GB Vram for those bigger models.

        If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.
