Hi,
I’m currently run design v11 on a laptop with;

-Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2410M CPU @ 2.30GHz – Dual Core
-8GB RAM
-On Board Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 – Dedicated Graphics Memory – 64MB

As you can see it takes some time for renders, especially trying to multitask while a 360 renders is almost impossible. I’m looking at building a desktop – specific purpose to run design v11.  Here are the specs I’m looking at.

CPU:Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
Memory:G.Skill Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage:Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Video Card:EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB Superclocked Video Card

Do you think the CPU & GPU I have picked out will give me the extra boost I’m needing, or should I pay the extra for an I7?
