ok plz help me out here further :-
am buying

mobo - P45 diamond
DDr3 ram - Transcend 2 gb ddr3 (what do you think Ocz parts) coz Ocz is less than transcend
GPu - Ati radeon Hd 3850 or saphire HD 4650
These are well within my range.... if u have other suggestions like same price but better performance or less price same performance product then plz do help by the earliest................ thanks again u guys and lol....... love to hear as early as possible would further appreciate your trouble... peace
I do animation and graphics too...
Skip the DDR3, get 8GB of DDR2 for the same price.
Get the 3850 and soft mod it to a v7700

Nvidia has always had better workstation drivers than AMD/ATI, plus the G80 is a way more powerful GPU than the 3850.

Hey is the 8800GTS softmoddable?

I'm sorry to break your fantasy, but a quad core with 2.63ghz (stock) doesn't exist. And that's not even specific enough. If it's 2.66ghz you mean, then there are 3 processors: Q6700, Q9450, Q9400

That surprises me seeing as the 8800GTS is technically a far superior GPU, and NV tends to make better workstation drivers.Originally posted by: sgrinavi

I dunno about all that. I have a 8800 GTS / 640 running as a FX4600 in the office. It does not smoke my SoftFire v7700 by any stretch of the imagination.
EDIT: Besides, the 8800 GTS softmod only works in 3dsMAX per Unwinder (the author of RivaTuner) where as the softfireGL mod works in everything.

If that's the case though, the AMD card is better hands down.
I remember drawing a commuter rail station in 3D with quite a high level of detail on an ATI 9700Pro that I modded into a FireGL. You really don't need all that much GPU power to do a small to mid sized architectural project. I found my CPU more of a limitation, along with the amount of memory I had. I would say go straight to 16gb of ram if you can; it's cheap and it will definitely help if you're rendering 4 images simultaneously on the quad core.
