you've convinced me about the 3930,and yeh i noticed the motherboards for that take 64gb ram even though i could still only afford 32gb,I could add more in later.
I am a bit concerned in regards to the temperature monitoring you mentioned,thats something I should think about too.I will be able to monitor that on a pc (win7) right? some kind of software or hardware? is can the motherboard do that automatically?
perhaps some extra fans.
Thanks nobody has been this helpful anywhere else.Great advice on the power supply.

thanks twod,i was talking to my father about the i7 3930
he said to sit and work out the price difference between all the supplies needed for an i7 2700 machine and a i7 3930 because i'll need a more expensive motherboard for the latter.
the price difference was only about £300.
even though its tad more expensive,am i better off going for the 17 3930 in the long run? so far the motherboards i've looked that support the 3930 can only take 1600 ram which you have recommended.
or should I settle for 2700,is the 3930 worth the extra buck?
also how do i determine how powerful the power supply should be?
thanks for the graphics card advice!

Wanting to build a new pc but i'm not as technically savy as some of you guys and I want to make sure i'm getting the best for the money have.
I got a budget of £600-800 (thats about $937.02- $1 249.36 dollars)
Heres what i've been looking into
Intel Core i7-2700K 3.50GHz
16gb ddr3 ram (32 if I can afford) i'm not sure what speed it best.
an SSD just for the OS.Heard speed is really good.
1tb regular hdd
also a geforce 460 EVGA. graphics card.
does that sound good for starters?
I hear the i7-3930K is good but its beyond my budget.
QUESTIONS
Is the CPU i'm going for the best for my money,or is there a better one out there that is around the same price? (but still intel)
Same question about the geforce 460 graphics card,is there a more recent version I should look into?
what are the best ram speeds? is that dependent on the motherboard?
I would really appreciate your help guys,been waiting a while to build this.

I set it to save to a completely different disk,and it still gives me the same error referring to that disk?
I tried re-installing,but i don't think it was a proper uninstall because it remembered all my recent files when I reinstalled it.
:shock:
edit: thanks for peoples ideas and assistance so far..

thanks peter,I am too unfamiliar with making simulations to ever think of those things.
I will now,though.thankyou very much.
I will keep these things in mind,now and in the future.
(learning allot here)

it does exist and I can create a folder in it.
???
:?
(my temporary solution is exporting the image files into AE,but it would be nice if I didn't have to do that for a basic flipbook)

I notice when I run sims my main hard disk fills up rapidly…the problem is that this is on my c drive which i don't have a great deal of space on.
how do I change it so that houdini uses another drive for temp files instead?
thanks.

hi pclaes
I was only going for a quadro because I read this in the houdini system requirments.. (quoted below) but I look on your website,and seem to know what you're talking about.

Graphics Card
Workstation-class OpenGL graphics card, such as NVidia Quadro and ATI Fire Pro, are required for professional use in production.
Non-workstation cards, such as GeForce and Radeon, can be used at your own risk. They may be used for learning and personal use but they are not supported as you may experience display problems, slow performance, and the software exiting unexpectedly.

yeh i was talking about raid 0 (it was recommended to me)
I was under the impression they all had to be the same size.
See,this is why I need forum help
(confused) i'll do more thorough research.

thanks for the help guys.very much appreciated.
well to be honest I won't have the money to afford a new system until later this year anyway (or mid-year)…but i'm guessing that new intel cpus will be hella expensive,and I will probably go for the (probably cheaper) i7 anyway.
I'm thinking
Win 7 64-bit (obviously)
Intel i7
16GB ram
3 HDD's (each raid 1TB)
NVidia Quadro graphics card
I also need to include a new larger monitor in there.
If I can find the cheaper kits mentioned I guess I could get more ram.
My current motherboard is incompatible with the latest CPU'S so thats y i need to build a whole new system.
anyone got any motherboard recommendations?
thanks again guys.

so a larger hard disk doesn't have to be your main (cdrive?,you can configure software to send information to another drive?
:roll: probably a stupid question,but maybe i AM stupid
also,what is the advantage of SSD?

so your main hard disk drive should be a priority too,i haven't heard this mentioned so far.
Sounds worth looking into.
