> Yea, i’m pretty sure I’m going to stick with the Quadro 2000. I read a debate about it over the fire 4900, but im pretty sure its the way to go. Oddly enough, above the GTX is recommended, but all the more educated consumer reviews say to avoid it because its a gamer card and works differently from 3d rendering.

Im not 100% savvy when it comes to the workstation cards, ive heard fire/quadro have their strengths and weaknesses just like with their consumer cards.

The GTX and other consumer cards will work, but workstation cards do a much better and faster job at rendering raw data

I would highly recomend sticking with Intel for whatever it is you choose, I know AMD’s cheaper prices and their 8 core FX series seem tempting, but they hardly hold a candle to an i7’s rendering power

I would most deffinately get 16GB of ram as well more if the motherboard you get supports it and you want to shell out the extra money
