Hello, I’m goig to build a new pc, which should be good for both gaming and development (also sometimes rendering). What would you suggest, buying an i7 cpu, or a xeon with similar prize and clocks?
PS: I don’t know, if this is the right place to ask things like this, but anyway…
For development you’ll want an i7 with as many cores as you can afford - the Intel 5960X has 8 cores, for example. Get the largest SSD you can for the main system drive. 16GB of memory? (I know Unity currently has restrictions on how much memory it can use.) Don’t know what gaming and rendering you want, but choose a high end GPU.
Thanks. I was actually thinking the same about the other parts(something like gtx 690 or gtx 980 gpu, 500gb/1tb ssd), I was just stuck about the processor.
