    The setup you want is fine for both.

    Try and get used parts and save some cash IMO.
    People tend to go crazy and dump their barely used hardware on ebay because they want the latest stuff. Worth looking into IMO.

    gtx 980ti I want to get a 1080 but the render test show it would only render 5 secs faster so Ill stick with what I got.

    I feel like the poor relation
    I have a Toshiba Satellite P850 i7 3610 QM CPU @ 2.30Ghz, 2301 Mhz 4 core 8 logical processors. 16 gig of ram which I updated recently from 8 gig
    I was hoping to upgrade when I got my tax cheque, but my husband decided to put it towards the bills and future bills.
    No intensive scenes for me

    My nvidia card is a GT 630M. She is several years old and really does need to be replaced but looks like I will have to wait a bit longer

    Once I get it back up and running, my graphics desktop will be using a GTX 1050 4gb card which I already have picked up. I'm down to needing a new case, a power supply and ram. I have the AMD Phonmom(?) II 3.0ghz 6-core from the old desktop and the 1.5TB drive that I am going to start out with. I'll eventually upgrade the CPU to the AMD 4.7ghz 8-core. I might get a new drive has well.

    You probably wouldn't notice the difference.
    And I'd give a limb to have Octane over Iray. The demo was impressive.

    Used HP Z620 workstations can be bought fairly cheap these days.
    All have E5 Xeon CPU's. Worth looking into if you want to upgrade your whole system.

    I was quite fortunate to get a good deal on a second hand GTX690, which seems to work very well.

    I guess eelgoo meant the GTX960. 2GB or 4GB VRAM?

    It has plenty of grunt for Iray.
    No need for an expensive newer model unless you're a pro and make money from 3D modelling IMO. 🙂
