I am trying to build a PC for myself and its my very first build. Previously I have had a sucky computer and an alienware 14Mx. I just want you help in validating my build and also providing me with any cost saving tips because my current build with the necessary tools included is slightly over budget. If this is an optimal build for gaming and 3d modelling that will sustain for 3-4 years then I can expand my budget to buy these components.

 

This is my build put in a wishlist at newegg

This is the build on pcpartpicker with the minimum reqd peripherals

If it's inconvenient for you to click on the link and go to the newegg website then I will list the components below.

Oh lord, why do you have so much useless crap lie fans a cable ties... And the keyboard sucks too...

 

Okay. Use this: http://pcpartpicker.com/

 

Your builds looks pretty god for core components, I didn't bother reading your peripherals and stuff as soon as I saw the zip ties and fans and stuff. You can get those later, don't worry about them now they are highly unnecessary.

 

Also, I need your budget, location (as in what country you live in), and whether or not your budget includes peripherals or not.

I originally did but It doesn't list the price of each product in need and also doesn't have certain products. If it's inconvenient then I can type out all the components myself.

 

I live in India and my budget in usd is 4200 including shipping and peripherals.

dude, 2 980Ti's and you want a 1080p monitor? :/

 

and 850W is cutting it, up to you though. Personally, I'd get the 1000W just to be sure.

The 980ti's are for ads Maya and Max not for display. And the other factor is that I can get 2 1080p monitors instead of 1  4k monitor. I checked the voltages requirements. It says 734W so isn't 850W enough?

If you want 1080p then go ahead, the PG279Q is not 4k. It is a 1440p monitor. I'd rather go 1440p than 1080p for more screen space.

 

That's not accurate. It is more than that depending on the load of the system, it may go over 850W. If you want unexpected shutdowns due to not enough power then go ahead.

I would change the power supply then. Thanks for you input.
