My Dream Build

[Hale913]

Hi all! I have been thinking for a long time about what my dream computer would be, because the computer I have access to was bought in the 2000's, It cannot support my artistic and gaming needs. I do need help picking a few pieces, mainly the motherboard and cooling, CPU cooling, monitors, and power supply. I do want to have a rig that would support three monitors, and I don't think I would ever need anything more than that, as three monitor set-up's are awesome the way they are. This computer is going to be used for literally almost everything there is(including 3-d printing). Examples of programs I need to be able to run.

 

Adobe Creative suite (Photoshop,Flash, Illustrator,etc.)

Maya 2016,

Unity 5,

blender.

 

I create flash animations, video game demos, (so 3d modeling, for both video games and 3-d printing) gaming videos, vocaloid songs, and I create my own technology which is very heavy on the computer,(or I at least plan to in the future.)

 

So without further ado, here is the list of the parts I have picked out:

 

Computer Case(this one's not up for debate   ) : http://www.amazon.com/BitFenix-Tower-Without-Supply-BFC-CLS-600-KKLG1-RP/dp/B005D5S2XE

 

Ram sticks: 128gb ddr4 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233812

 

CPU: Intel i7 skylake http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117559

 

SSHD: x4 4TB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822178379&cm_re=2tb_sshd-_-22-178-380-_-Product

 

SoundCard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829271004&cm_re=omega_claro-_-29-271-004-_-Product

 

Graphics card: GTX 980 Ti watercooled. So here is where things get interesting. I watched Linus's video on this, and it says that this card runs better than the normal GTX 980 ti card, But I want to have two of these running in my computer, but I don't know if both of these are compatible. let me know what you guys think.

 

So that's pretty much it, I left out prephials like keyboards and disc drives etc because I already own the ones I'm going to install into this computer. Last thing, I don't have a budget for this comupter, so yeah. Thanks all for reading

I would use this website to organise your build a bit better:

Also your build looks fine, just make sure there is enough space in the case for airflow and room for your 980 ti's watercooler!

Your choice of SSHD's confuses me greatly.

I don't think you need 128GB of RAM.

[The Official Czex]

Get HDD' s and SSD' s. Never go hybrid except in the most budgeted of builds.

This is the absolute MAX I'd go.  Also, You don't really need DOminator Platniums.  You can step them down to Corsair Venegence LPX or Kingston HyperX black.

With that kind of use, i heavily recommend looking at a CPU with more cores as 4 will simply not cut it. I'm not very knowledgeable in this area (you should probably ask people in CPUs, Motherboards and Memory section of LTT for this - http://linustechtips.com/main/forum/5-cpus-motherboards-and-memory/), but you should look at something more in the range of 6/8 cores, maybe even higher-core count Xeons. Once again, I'm not very good in this area, but ask in that part of LTT. 

 

Similarly, you may want to look at Quadro/FirePro GPUs due to your heavy workstation uses. Ask around here http://linustechtips.com/main/forum/16-graphics-cards/

Ok, so after you guys gave me some input, i have reconsidered a few parts. One, I thought that SSHD were the best of the best, but I stand corrected(thanks the official czex for that,) so I will get four 4tb ssd's, because I can put them into a raid formation. I have also done more research on a better processor, and have decided on a intel i7 5960X-8cores.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117404.(thank you for that tip g4m3cr34tor.)  I really appreciate your guy's help, i still need help picking a motherboard to support all of this, so if you guys have any suggestions, i would really appreciate it.
