Workstation/Gaming PC

[ofika]

I need a PC to fit my needs as I 3D animate and model, I make games in unity, I also edit video and do graphics in photoshop and of course I want it for gaming so I need a good mix between cpu power and gpu.

So would this PC be good for my needs

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/TxvrwP (I would like to keep it under $1150 usd as in my currency it's around $1500, the prices don't come up when I change it to my currency so I would rather deal with it in usd)

What could I do to make it better ect...

Thanks for taking your time to read this.

Use a Z97 Motherboard with the i7-4790k and maybe consider the NZXT S340 instead of the enermax case. If you can afford to go for an AIO instead of the Hyper212 that may help too.

Also if you can, try to fit in an SSD because it will make a world of a difference compared to that HDD
