cgartashish Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Hi, I will build a workstation specifically for sims and renders by december, I do a lot of heavy sims and also plan to use Blender, Unreal Engine, Substance Painter, etc. I am really confused between Xeon processors and core i7. My budget is around $ 2500. I cannot decide what will be best for me? Dual Xeon processors or single core i7 (in my case, 6800K). I am planning build a workstation that I can upgrade later and keep on adding as the time demands. I would probably stick to GTX 1070 and would really want a liquid cooler for both my CPUs and my GPU. So, I will need a good cabinet that supports 3 liquid coolers and a good PSU that can power up everything. Please suggest me with what to buy? a Core i7 6800K with 6 cores or a Xeon ( I add another xeon later, as my budget is tight ). If Xeon, then please suggest me a Xeon that is compatible with dual processor and a Mobo with dual socket. The main question is Dual Xeon or Single Core i7 6800K? (or if anything better about to launch at the same pricelist) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
