My 11 year old has been getting into 3D animation graphics (3DS Max).
You guys know what that means......
Old Rig:
i5 655K
Maximus III Formula
2X2 GB DDR3-1600
32 bit Windows 8.1 (don't ask)
Radeon HD 7950
500 GB WD Black platter
750W PCP&C Silencer (old school workhorse)
New Rig:
i7 4790K
ASUS Z97-A-USB31
2X8 GB DDR3-1866
64 bit Win 7
Radeon HD 7950
500 GB Crucial BX100 SSD
750W PCP&C Silencer
Considering its use, I'll only target a modest overclock. For some reason, the kid's more interested in actually using computers for their intended purpose than he is in building them to be fast. Weird.
