Hello /g/entooman
I come here with a dilemma.
I need to build a pc for 3D modeling/rendering and i've been doind some research and found... No real answer towards the cpu..
My budget is $750
This are the two builds i have so far.
(AMD) http://pcpartpicker.com/p/PYqjjX
And
(Xeon) http://pcpartpicker.com/p/LKdZBm
The AMD costs the same but has "nicer" components such as the case, cooling, RAM and graphics card.
But the Xeon one has.. Well... A Xeon.
So is the Xeon a meme? Or is it really better when it comes to this kind of task? I also found people recommending high core cpu's such as FX series from AMD because this modelling programs make use of all the cores.
What would you recommend? And also best cpu for rendering thread i guess

Xeon gets a better passmark score. ECC ram is a major selling point with a Xeon, which I see you do not have. 8350 is getting really long in the tooth. AMD's cores are not the same as Intel cores the way they direct traffic. My 4 core can beat AMD 8 core. A Xeon vs a K would be your smarter decision you should worry about.
The Xeon is way better. The 8350 barely competes with my Westmere Xeon, let alone a Haswell one.
Get an R9 380 or wait for Polaris over the 950/960

2?

>950 for 3d modeling... what are you going to do, for for a frame movement every 5 seconds?
Get an 970 at least but fuck that statistics and real tests show that even that is shit.

Nevermind.
It's 2.
If your planing on eventually needing ECC, buy the xenon, otherwise, buy a skylake i5.
Another option would be to hunt for a non-k i5/i7 sandy/ivy bridge chip on the used market.

The 8350 is very old, you might as well buy a sandy bridge.
Don't bother with the Haswell Xeon, just get a new i5 instead. DDR4 ram is cheaper and denser than DDR3.

this.
Does it make sense to buy a xenon engineering sample off ebay?
