Hi there :)

I've used mac for a long time and recently bought the latest top spec mac pro which in hindsight was not the best machine for what I need as I get more and more into 3D.

So switching to PC after 10 years and want to get the best I can for C4D and octane render. I've done a bit of research but want to know if the spec I have gone for is going to make my productivity sore through the roof with octane. Also is there anything else that would help. The 2 things I want to get is real time feedback with octane and faster render times.

This is the spec that I am looking at and it comes in at about £5K.

All help and advice would be greatly received from you gurus :)

That is a sweet rig, I could never dream of having something like that.
The 980ti is currently the best price to performance card, but I guess if you want 3 titans...go ahead.
