    Just wanted to reawaken this thread if possible to get some opinions…

    I’m a graphics artist who works with zBrush, Maya, and Photoshop. All at the same time.

    I was looking at building a system with the following specs and prices. Wanted to see if anyone has built something similar and what they would recommend.

    I had to choose between a dual 5620 and a single i7 – which is why I’m posting this here.

    Any criticism or approval?
