I need suggestions for casing , graphic cards.

if you are rendering i think a 2011 platform would be better.
the extra core will mae a difference..
also a quadro will accelerate your rendering time..

but what exactly are u using? maya, 3dsm, after effects?

an example of a quadro to a normal consumer gpu

This qn just came to mind. So far, all I know is that quadro helps rendering time for 3D rendering. But what for 2D renderings? a.k.a video + image like Adobe premiere pro, after effects, photoshop.

Sorry noob qn. I guess it ultimately depends on whether the software has support for quadro rendering to fully utilize it? If not the CPU will be used.
