Building my first rig

[AnEoil]

1. Budget & Localisation

My Budget is about ~1500€

I am located in Austria

 

2. Aim

- 3D Modelling/Rendering/Animating
- Programming/complex Mathematics

- of course gaming, thinking of upgrading it later with an second GPU

 

3. Monitors

I am planning to run one monitor with 1920x1080

(http://www.asus.com/Monitors_Projectors/VX238H/)

 

4. Peripherals

I don't need any. I'll stay with my old ones

 

5. Case

I got the T600 White
(http://www.corsair.com/en-us/special-edition-white-graphite-series-600t-mid-tower-case)

 

 

The Rig:

 

Storage: 

- Western Digital WD Blue 1TB

- Crucial MX100 256GB

 

CPU:

- Intel Core i5-4690, 4x 3.50GHz, boxed

 

CPU Cooler:

- Noctua NH-D15

 

RAM:

- Crucial Ballistix Sport DIMM Kit 16GB, DDR3-1600

 

Video Card:

- ASUS GeForce GTX 780, 3GB GDDR5

 

Mainboard:

- ASUS Sabertooth Z97 Mark 2

 

Monitor

- ASUS VX238H, 23"

 

Case:

- Corsair White Graphite 600T

 

Power:

- Cooler Master V-Series V700 700W ATX 2.31

 

 

My Question is if this is going to work fine and if there were better choices.

 

Want to see the price list:

1 x Western Digital WD Blue 1TB, 64MB Cache, SATA 6Gb/s (WD10EZEX)
1 x Crucial MX100 256GB, 2.5", SATA 6Gb/s (CT256MX100SSD1)
1 x Intel Core i5-4690, 4x 3.50GHz, boxed (BX80646I54690)
1 x Crucial Ballistix Sport DIMM Kit 16GB, DDR3-1600, CL9-9-9-24 (BLS2CP8G3D1609DS1S00)
1 x ASUS GTX780-DC2OC-3GD5, GeForce GTX 780, 3GB GDDR5, 2x DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort (90YV04H0-M0NA00)
1 x ASUS Sabertooth Z97 Mark 2 (90MB0IS0-M0EAY0)
1 x ASUS VX238H, 23"
1 x LG Electronics GH24NS95 schwarz, SATA, retail (GH24NS95.AUAR)
1 x Noctua NH-D15
1 x Corsair Special Edition White Graphite Series 600T mit Sichtfenster (CC600TWM-WHT)
1 x Cooler Master V-Series V700 700W ATX 2.31 (RS-700-AFBA-G1)

You shoud upgrade that 4690 to a 4690K and you'll be golden. 

[mcmad358]

1. Go with 4690K, you may have meant that....

 

2. Dont go with 1600mhz ram as that is quickly fading out. Go with 1866+mhz and it will cost about the same and perform faster especially for your jobs.

 

Everything else is fine.

[i_build_nanosuits]

you've listed this as being your priorities over gaming:

- 3D Modelling/Rendering/Animating
- Programming/complex Mathematics

 

In that case i would highly recommand you jump to the core i7-4790 or 4790K if you're into overclocking, if the prices gets too steep you could look at the xeon 1230V3 wich is the same as the i7-4770 without integrated graphics (no need for that you use a GTX 780) and cost about the same as the i5-4690K...but you get hyperthreading (8 threads CPU)

 

The hyper-threading will help A TON in rendering, encoding, and modeling tasks...

It's a sweet build. If the budget can take it I too would suggest an i7-4790K. The more powerful cpu will make a significant difference with 3D modeling and if the complex math solutions you program use multiple threads.

 

I would also suggest an IPS monitor - better color reproduction and wider viewing angles. Perhaps ASUS VX239H, 23" (90LM00F0-B02670).
