Kid's rig upgrade
 

My 11 year old has been getting into 3D animation graphics (3DS Max).

:blink:

You guys know what that means......:blush:


Old Rig:
i5 655K
Maximus III Formula
2X2 GB DDR3-1600
32 bit Windows 8.1 (don't ask)
Radeon HD 7950
500 GB WD Black platter
750W PCP&C Silencer (old school workhorse)

New Rig:
i7 4790K
ASUS Z97-A-USB31
2X8 GB DDR3-1866
64 bit Win 7
Radeon HD 7950
500 GB Crucial BX100 SSD
750W PCP&C Silencer

Considering its use, I'll only target a modest overclock. For some reason, the kid's more interested in actually using computers for their intended purpose than he is in building them to be fast. Weird.

The good ole desk rig. Awesome! I'm sure that build will be good for years to come.

I hear ya, lolol.

11 years old, the future looks bright for the young render-er.

He'll be done with 3D homework assignments a full week ahead of his class cuz daddy's pourin nitro all over his rig, lol.

Btw, good luck keeping yourself from overtinkering his rig, I just couldn't help it on my son's setup :) but now he's running 24/7 5ghz goodness.

Mine too, I don't know what is a matter with kids today.
Seems like that with cars, bikes or what ever, it is it needs to be fast

My kids could care or less , went shopping for a car with my son the other day, he said he was looking for reliable transportation with decent gas mileage :ohcrap:

All I was worried about when i was a kid was how fast it was and how would it aid in getting laid ???

Not sure what these schools are teaching kids today ?
All I know is I can't help him with his math homework any more :Dizzy:

Holy crap! Patch!!!! long time no see!!!

and Mr.Witchy I got one of this and it doesn't do the wonder work people thinks...
