This PC is for my friend that he wants to build for Graphic Designing & Animaton as he is a Graphic Designer. He will be running softwares like Autodesk 3ds max, mudbox, maya, zbrush, fusion, adobe creative suite

What is your budget for the graphics card? Since it is primarily for 3dsmax, mudbox etc, look for a quadro or firegl.

Chaos Sire, which one is your personal preference -- nVidia Quadro OR AMD's FireGL?

It will be good to have more insight on this as it is a hot debate as which company is better and offers a better bouquet of features for its price-point. Also, in a hybrid environment (gaming + dual-OS + productivity applications) which line do you prefer

@aparnatichkule I am sorry for veering off-topic but I really want to clarify these points. Cheerio!

 

[Chaos]

Depends on the app - for maya, I'd choose a firegl/firepro. For almost everything else a quadro.
