Hi All,

I’m getting ready to build a system to use exclusively for 3ds Max 2012 and Revit 2012, along with Vray rendering within Max.  My modeling and rendering are on the architecture side—no character modeling if that makes a difference.

Here are the specs I put together:

(Motherboard) ASUS P8P67 LE LGA 1155 SATA 6Gbps and USB 3.0 Supported Intel P67 DDR3 2200 ATX Motherboard
(CPU) Intel Core i5 Processor i5-2500 3.3GHz 6MB LGA1155 CPU BOX80623I52500
(Video Card) Evga GeForce GT 430 1 GB DDR3 PCI-Express 2.0 Graphics Card 01G-P3-1430-LR
(RAM) Corsair XMS3 8 GB 1333 MHz PC3-10666 240-Pin DDR3 Memory Kit CMX8GX3M2A1333C9
(Power Supply) Corsair CMPSU-750TX 750-Watt TX Series 80 Plus Certified Power Supply compatible with Intel Core i7 and Core i5
(Hard drive) Western Digital WD Caviar Black 1 TB SATA 6 GB/S 7200 RPM 64 MB Cache Internal Bulk/OEM 3.5-Inch Desktop Hard Drive
(DVD Drive) Lite-On LightScribe 24X SATA DVD+/-RW Dual Layer Drive IHAS424-98
(OS) Windows 7 Professional SP1 64bit (Full) OEM DVD 1 Pack

Can somebody please comment if this system will perform well for my needs mentioned above?  If there are some minor tweaks to improve performance, I’d love to hear about them.

Thanks in advance for your help!
