Hi,
About 4 years ago I bought my current windows 10 pro system:
intel 8 core i7-4790 cpu @ 3.60 ghz
8 gb ram
graphic card-nvidia geforce gt 720
monitor-hp w/2207 native resolution 1680 x 1050 at 60 hz. Probably 5 years+ old.

When I bought this system I never dreamed I would get into 2d let alone 3d graphics. But here I am .
I would like some recommendation on components for a new system that will allow me to get the best visual
impact from the graphics working within 3d apps like anim8or, art of illusion, blender and renderers native
to those apps (like cycles, pov-ray etc). My old eyes leave a lot to be desired so I could use all the
help I can get. In researching this myself I'm finding most recommendations are targeted to gaming
which is certainly not my priority (at least now it isn't . On top of that is the ever growing plethora
of these components to choose from. It's rather bewildering to wade thru. And as I do not have
money to burn I would like to stay under 1400usd (I do not need top tier anything . I'm really trying
to better appreciate the visual graphics than what my current setup allows.
I'd really appreciate any feedback.
