Are those quadro cards that much better at rendering than say a 1080 ti?

I think one of the upper end Ryzen chips (1800x and up) would be a perfect sweet spot for you in terms of price/performance

Only Quadro and Firepro are compatible and supported by SW and ANSYS. A GeForce would be unstable, and has been found to be many times.

Most CAD programs are designed for Intel chips IIRC. Looking at benchmark tests, Intel almost always beats AMD. That's why I wanted to stick with Intel.

I also don't do much rendering. It's usually only drawing parts, assembling, and running various simulations.

Yes, most major titles are now optimizing for more cores and threads. 4c/4t is a terrible buy now (which is why TH no longer recommends it for gaming). You either go Ryzen 6c+ or a 7700K+.

PUBG, Wolfenstein 2, Far Cry 5 are all 6+ core optimized games. Hell even 8 threads are starting to get heavily taxed these days.

Those threads do very little for gaming. It is still physical cores.

Meh...

A 7600k/GTX1080 for the purposes he outlined is more than enough imo.

Especially when you can get a 7600k now for around $200 quite frequently.

EDIT: He could also wait for the 8600k and the Coffee Lake benchmarks.

Agreed.

A Upper Mid-Tier build is fine with a 4C CPU. For those games needing 6+ physical cores, I guarantee the GPU is the bottleneck long before.

People at work started a Go-Fund me for us. I feel like shtt. Yes we lost everything in my apartment due to Harvey but it wasn't my house. I still have a lot more shtt.

How do you tell ppl no when they sort of force it on you?

Had to go way back to see wtf you were talking about

Let me know how you like it. I have the wireless G403 as my secondary mouse, but I'm looking at getting wireless for my main mouse. The G403 doesn't have enough buttons for my liking

I pushed away from Logitech for so long but recently bought one of the newer wireless gaming mice.

Holy hell. Best mouse i've ever used.

The 403 is amazing, but I really like the plethora of buttons on my 502.

If the 900 is any good, I'll prbably move to that and get the new logitech wireless mechanical keyboard to remove some cable clutter from my desk

Doubt I use the wireless feature, who knows. This bitch better let me program the buttons on the right side without making me switch to left handed mode.

Eh, no point in paying for a 7600K when you can get more for the same price or a tad bit more once the 7700K drops in price from the 8700K.

But for me I'm all about getting the most for my money and a 7600K is at the bottom for that these days.

Tom'sHardware just updated their CPU list this week and no longer recommend the 7600K for gaming.

Times are a changing but I love it. Moar cores moar threads please.
