It will do the job for a lot less and in some reviews I read that the speed jumps between the FX500 and his stronger bros is not that noticeable.


And you can even have Hardware rendering.(though I have heard it wouldn't yield the same quality as a regular software renderer)

one thing thoguh - it is a bit noisier.
