Thanks for the reply mate.

Still a little lost after watching that video.

When I configure that computer you linked to have
Intel Core i5 3570K
16gb ram
2GB EVGA GTX 660
128GB Samsung Solid State HD
1TB Seagate Barracuda
with no monitor
it comes up to £1,246.97

I configured a similar spec PC here

Intel® Core™ i7-3770K Quad Core Unlocked Processor
16GB DDR3 1600MHz Memory
2GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660
120GB SSD – OCZ Agility 3 Solid State Drive
1TB SATA III
also with no monitor and
it comes up to £1125.50

The processor on the second computer is better right?
Is there a reason why the second computer is coming up cheaper?

Thanks

Oh, I didn’t realise you answered my other questions. Haha Thanks!

Do you think I could get a decent computer for about £1300 with just one monitor?

How much would a fairly good monitor cost? and is there one you’d recommend? preferably 24″

Would you recommend getting an over clocked processor for AE?

I couldn’t find GTX 690 on the list. Would GeForce GTX 650 be okay for ray tracer?

The help is much appreciated mate!

[David Larock]

Thanks for the reply.

Are any of the computers I linked to third-generation quad-core intel Core i7?

When customizing those PCs I only have options for NVIDIA GTX650 to GTX690 does that mean ray-tracer won’t work?

Thanks again!
