Planning a build.

[jedylan]

Here is the part list: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/jedylan/saved/ytfmP6

It is a Work and gaming station.

I do some 3D rendering. A lot of HD footage editing. Some visual effects and a lot of photo editing.

I also play games as: battlefield and assassin's creed.

I wanted a well working, good looking, and not too noisy pc for around 3500$ the speakers I bought are counted in the price.

I will wait for the rgb keyboard and mice of corsair to be released.

I was not sure about the h100i to fit in. But I think I can front mount it as an air intake? Didnt want to air cool I think they dont look as good.

I also hesitated between the gtx780 & gtx780ti any thoughts?

I took a stronger power supply so I can upgrade to dual sli in the future.

I Plan to overclock the cpu.

I also thought of adding a seperate 60go ssd just for the OS?

Dont want to go with Windows 8 but im not sure Windows 9 will be worth the wait.

Not sure if I need 32go of ram. So got 16 and know I can still upgrade.

What do you think? Is there any problems with my build?

I choose a 4790K because it's haswell refresh and its base clock is 4.0Ghz compare to 4770K's 3.5Ghz

That's a very expensive and overkill mobo, so I switched to the Z97X UD5H from Gigabyte

For dual monitor setup, I think 6GB single 780 will be better than 3GB 780

I suggest waiting and not getting anything right now. Wait for haswell E and get a 5820k which will be the 350 dollar cpu but it will be a 6 core. Which im sure will help massively in all the editing you will be doing. It's only a few months off but that is my suggestion. If you need it now do what you are going except get a cooler master 750v for the psu. 70 dollars cheaper and the only thing you would lose is full modualirity will be semi.

You are rigth about the power supply.

I am not sure about the motherboard since the formula has much more usb plugs. The hero has 6 and for me it is not much. I work mostly with external drives. But is it worth the 60$ for the 4 usb3 plugs it adds

Why not Windows 8.1? Ever used it?
I wouldn't add a 60gb SSD for the OS. You'll rapidly run out of room. It won't eat up too much of your 500gb SSD.

Why do you have 2 1tb drives instead of a 2tb drive?

Do you really need the BluRay drive?

[jedylan]

I need a bluray drive cause I plan on listening to movies. I dont have a tv

[jedylan]

Changed the mobo, cpu, psu, hhd, and video card.dropped the price by 200$

What kind of projects are you working on? Programs being used?

Is value at all an issue or do you just have $3500 to blow?
