So what cpu should I look for? And will I still get close to same performance?

You will get a huge performance boost in highly-threaded programs, but you will lack a bit in programs such as games or whatever that uses 4 cores or less. Rendering will take advantage of all 8 cores, whereas games will only use around 4. the intels have a faster performing chip core-for-core.

The best way to get the best of both worlds is to just get an i7, but those are pricey.

Here's the AMD 8-core. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113284

An SSD as your main drive will be a huge difference. You're talking about 150megs per second from a plater drive, as opposed to 550 megs a second from an SSD. Right now the hard drive is the number 1 bottleneck in any PC build if you're using platter drives.

For rendering, yes, the AMD will be faster, I feel like your upgrade options will be more limited though.

With used parts you could easily build a good machine for 600.

There are other ways of getting windows, just sayin. Make sure you get 64 bit.

I would try to stick with nvidia, though the card you posted is pretty good, most rendering software takes advantage of CUDA, which is NVidia only.

Not as fast, but cheaper, and its 320 bit.

Ok been tweaking gear and yelling at smd for going down on me. But hopefully final list.

Cpu- amd fx 8350 8 core

Gpu- evga gtx660 192bit

Psu- thermaltake smart 750w

Mobo- asrock 970 extreme3

Hdd- seagate barracuda 1tb

Ssd- crucial m4 32gb (os, inventor?)

Ram- corsair vengence lp 1866 16gb

Case- xigmatek asgard w/ 4 xigmatek fcb 120mm fans

I'm just staying all new for piece of mind.

Total on newegg- ~$900 +\- $50 shipping and rebates

This all seem good?

Seems great. My personal opinion about the SSD is that you should wait till you have enough money for a nice one with quite a bit of storage 100-200GB. Once again my own opinion. If all you are ever going to put on there is OS and Inventor then you should be fine. And I gotta say that will be a really nice computer. Especially coming from what you have now lol.

Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist?

I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . .

What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself

but what has drawn your attention

in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums

An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space

Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears,

thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

Alright bro. Thank you. :-) if I could get a deal I'd go 60ish gig but now much will be on here. Think this case can be in a kinda closed space or it need to be in open air?

It should be fine just monitor your temps every now and then. Make sure that it is a case that fits your board. Ex: ATX board ,ATX compatible case.

Case should fit. But what do I use to monitor temps and stuff? And its in a little cabinet closed on all but front and side away from fans

I also forgot to mention. Corsair's warranty is fan freaking tastic. My TX550 blow out a while back from a shorted USB port on the Motherboard, and Corsair replaced it for free, WITH 100 WATTS MORE! Outstanding!
