PC specs help: i7 980x

First topic message reminder :

Need help with specs. i was wondering if is it really worth going i7 980x for cpu. worth kaya yun performance regarding the price? i7 980x is priced $1160 while i7 930 is $328. wanted to try dual i7 too but i dont know if theres a mainboard that supports it. i heard its for xeon only. should i go with this spec for rendering?

CPU: i7 980x
Mobo: MSI X58 PRO-E
Ram: OCZ 4gb x3
GPU: Radeon HD 5770

i7 980x has 6core and 12 threads, i7 930 has 4 core and 8 threads. malaki difference ng performance nila, 980x alot faster.
pero hindi practical ang presyo niya para lang sa rendering, pero kung sa office yan at boss mo ang bibili definetly ang ipabili mo 980x para sa office nyo, pero kung home use lang sayang lang, kung gumagawa ka ng animation as your sideline cguro 980x mas maganda ang piliin mo pero kung 3Drendering ka lang, parang nagtapon ka ng pera . infact any i7 will be fast enough para sa 3Drendering, and kung ayaw mo tlaga ng 930 at nbabagalan ka, ang daming pang i7 choices na mas mabilis sa 930 ang pwede mong iconsider, may i7 950, 960, and 970, yan mga yan will render faster than 930, at sobrang mas mura kumpara sa 980x, infact i use i7950 with 12gig ram memory, sandali lang ang rendering. hindi lang naman processor ang nagpapa bilis sa rendering, memory is a big part also, kesa mag 980x ka pwede mo isave na lang ang budget mo para sa memory, imax out mo ng 24gig panalong panalo yan.

It will only be worth it if you can have your return of investment (ROI) FAST. That's it, no matter what 3D services you are doing.

As for the dual i7, there's no such thing because only Xeon Processors can communicate to each other as compared to i7, it stands by itself lang.

Good luck!
