Finalizing a build to be bought

[cam_96]

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to finalize a build that I will be buying. I'm pretty much set with everything, but I don't want rediculous suggestions like "dual 970 and an i5". Just subtle suggestions, thanks. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/7nC9XL

No Case, No Hard drive?

 

Whats your Budget, Location, Uses ?

You dont need anything else?

Oh forgot to mention, I have a case already and I have a couple of 500 GB western digital caviar blues (1 tb) and I have a dvd drive already and I'm not gonna get an ssd until later. I have windows 7 home edition, which I will only use temporarily.

My budget is about 530$, I will be gaming, and 3d modeling using autodesk Maya and I will be moderately using adobe after effects and regularly using Photoshop. I will also be using unity 3d.

Well i would definitly get an aftermarket CPU cooler, a 212 evo or something. Maybe up the RAM to 8GB. That power supply is very good, i have one.

You could save some by going with a 280 instead for $150. Will perform just as good.

Ok, I haven't found a 280 for 150$, and I think 4gb is about ok for now, but of course I will get 4gb later.

I would definitely recommend getting 2 x 4GB of RAM. Just because 4GB alone is eh.

Definetly up to 8gb of ram or even 16, some programs will have trouble with so little amount
