I am trying to get a powerful workstation for my 3D work. I demand great performance. I have a budget of $4500. So can anyone tell me what the best solution would be? I have been using dell computers for a while, but I have done some research on HP and they also seem to be a good choice.
I know for a fact that I need to spend most of my money on a video card (NVIDIA QUADRO FX####) and alot of ram and a good processor. However, I do not know the right combination. I understand that over customizing can be a bad thing because some parts might be too fast or too slow for the other hardware components. The last computer I bought and assembled myself was a constant pain because I bought alot of great hardware but it all just didn't want to agree with each other. So given this information, can anyone tell me what I need to buy to make the ultimate desktop machine?
