I've done my researches for a month on parts and have assembled a list of components I am going to get.
This is CPU rendering rig based on 2011-V3.
CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3
This is a 14core / 28 threads monster at 2Ghz. I am able to source this on Ebay for 450CAD. This is a non-ES, OEM, CPU.
CPU cooler: ARCTIC Freezer i11
Mobo: Asrock Extreme4 X99
Case: Cooler Master Silencio 352
RAM: G.SKILL Aegis 32GB (2 x 16GB)
HDD: A single M.2 Samsung 256gb EVO SSD (Already own)
PSU: Cx500 500w
OS: Fedora x64 (Blender performance is far superior on unix than on Windows by a clear margin of 10%+)
GPU: AMD *60 75w version to reduce cable.
The rig is solely for rendering, nothing else. If you have any comments and advice, let me know.
