PC Building Plan.

[Manhattan PhD.]

Hi guys, I'm new a this forum and also at pc building, but I,ve done some research and written a list of parts which I think are pretty good for what I want. Fist of all, I work with US currency and the one I calculated was about $3500, so anything in that range, maybe 500 or 1000 more wouldn't be bad. I am an arquitect so I'd use it mostly for 3D design and rendering, also some of video editing and working with large CAD and Max files, mostly a workstation. But I'm also intersted in gaming, not a priority, but I'd like to have the option to have a computer that can support great graphics for game as well as performance. I,m a mid-range to high gamer.

The pieces I gather are:

• CPU. Intel Core i7 5930k
• Motherboard. Asus X99 deluxe (also thinking about E-WS)
• RAM. 4 RAM kit Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 - 32 gb
• HDD.  Hitachi Deskstar 7k4000 - 4tb
• GPU. 2 Geforce GTX 970
• CPU Cooler. Be quiet Dark Rock
• Case.  Fractal Design Define R5
• Power Supply. Corsair Hx650
• Monitor. Asus from PA series (I'd like to get two monitors)

And that's it. If there's something that will absolutely work for me, even though it's above the budget, I might consider it.

 

Thank you for your responses.

I would wait for skylake and 3** series becouse there will be improvment and your budget will allow that easliy!

You're not using enough additional PCIE lanes to need the 5930k. Just get the 5820k.

 

The PSU could be much better, and I recommend a 750W+ with dual GPUs, and you're running a more power hungry CPU than normal.

 

Your storage setup is a bit weird. Personally, I have a strong distrust of hitachi drives. If it were me, I'd get a BX100 SSD (250 or 500GB, depending on tastes) as your boot/primary drive, and a 3TB Seagate Barracuda as a mass storage drive.

Given the work described I do think a Quadro gpu would be the best choice. I don't think there is any way to get around the faster and more accurate work of a workstation gpu. The Quadro K4200 would have gaming performance a bit lower than a GTX 760.
