Hey guys!
So I am going to doing my first build and want to see what changes I should or could make for the better before I buy anything. My current list of parts consist of:
Intel 5960X - $1049.99
Asus Rampage V Extreme - $479.99
Asus STRIX GTX980ti- $669.99
Corsair Vengeance® LPX 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 2133MHz C13 - $174.99
480 GB Intel 730 Series SSD - 299.99
WD Black 2TB - $127.99
Power Supply (Corsair but not sure which yet)
Corsair 900D - $359.99
I already have my keyboard, mouse, monitor and other peripherals. This build is going to replace my 2007 MacBook Pro with 4Gb of ram and only a duo core which is really not cutting it anymore. I primarily use my computer for 3D modeling, gaming, game streaming, game programming and video editing. While my macbook has been good enough for a while I need an upgrade because it is getting laughably slow. I chose the 900D because I plan on adding another 980ti to power 2 more monitors later down the line. I also plan on running more drives (both SSD's and hard drives) in raid should I need to. I also plan on water-cooling but that will be done later when I have more money. I definitely want to keep this as low as possible but I can't spend much over $3500. So I'll take any advice I can get right now and let me know of any questions you have.
Thanks Guys!
