/fa/ pls

Don't bother buying any software unless you can't find a torrent of it.
The money would go much farther upgrading your machine.

Yeah, what >>456111
said. $800 isn't even enough for most professional software.

Focus on a good GPU, and any i7 is good enough. You'll want about 12GB RAM bare minimum, 16/18 or more would be better though. Get as much RAM on the GPU as you can.

why the fuck would he want a good gpu? it's not a fucking gaming pc. he should get as many cores as possible with at least 2 gig of ram per core, 4 if possible

Why do you think Autodesk recommends a Titan GPU for 3ds Max/Maya?

/fa/ That is absolutely insane! Why would you spend more than 15$ on your pants?!

Op here again. Should i get a refurb cintiq?

One of the best investments you can make if you plan on doing 2-d work. Otherwise go for ram so your computer doesnt take dumps.

>>456118
Titan is for when you don't want to pay the premium for CAD enabled drivers, but still want a GPU with a massive amount of RAM that is ECC enabled as well. It's for a niche market, (and enthusiasts with way too much money to burn)

>>456124
Nah, a Cintiq is nice to draw on, but it won't make your art any better. Just pick up a refurb Medium Wacom/Bamboo. They have 1024 sensitivity levels these days so there more than good enough now.

>>456114
Because the future is GPU accelerated raytracers. Most are these days And if you're fucking making game models, then you want a good GPU more than a CPU to push the game engine graphics. And a good viewport, like Maya's, runs faster the better the GPU you have, not CPU.
