So, off course a big screen 17.3", Matte & Full HD
I chose maximum RAM (32GB), a fast Hard Drive + 1 SSD to help with rendering time,
But I may have some questions about few things and I would like to have your advices
- Does anyone used the Graphic Card NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 765M - 2.0GB with Maya/3DsMax........ Or, is there someone has infos to give me about it?
- Regarding the Operating System, I may have heard people talking bad about windows 8 (not very stable) so i chose windows 7 Pro 64bit .... good idea or not?
- Between two 3D Animations i may release the pressure on BF4 , i have no idea regarding the Wireless Card if 300Mbps is enaught so i chose 867Mbps, but i will follow any advice on that case.
- Finally, if you think my spec is overkill on some points, please tell me ( I will not be against saving a few pounds here and there
Thank you very much in advance for your replies, I'm working on my old laptop for now, It will last until i finish to model but soon i'll have to start the rendering.... I think I will kill my poor friend if i use it for that
