Need some help/suggestions with this new rig

[ShinyPikachu]

Hey guys,

 

I'm from Canada and live in the Vancouver area, first time posting here in the forum, sorry if I missed out stuff.

 

First of all, here's the link to my build http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/22WFd6

 

I am mainly gonna use this build for gaming + 3D rendering software + building with game engines such as UE4. I was wondering if these specs are enough for me to play games at decent quality and using the software smoothly.

I was also wondering if the case and other parts would fit well together and if I needed extra fans? Are there other things I need to buy or change to?

I have not figured out what new monitor I want yet so I need some help with that, I only need one right now but I may want to go for 2 in the future.

Also, has anyone ever used those wireless adapters that are built in and not a usb and are they any good? Wanted to know if it's better than usb ones.

My budget is going to be around $2000CAD.

Sorry for so many questions, I'm still a big noob with all the technical things even after so much research so I apologize in advance.

 

Also if anyone is interested my old build from 6 years ago:

CPU: Intel Core i5 750 2.67Ghz
Mobo: ASUS P755D
GPU: ATi Radeon HD 5870
RAM: 4 GB 2x2GB Ripjaws
HDD: WD 1TB
Case: NZXT Apollo ATX Black
Heatsink: Noctua NH-U12P
PSU: Corsair TX750W

 

I plan on giving this old computer to my parents for general uses, so this new rig is a huge upgrade for me and lots of new information to research on.  

 

Any suggestions and help with the rig would be really appreciated. Sorry again if I missed anything. Thanks!

get a 1070 or 1080 instead of the 980ti

Your build is really great, i have no complaint with your build. But i do have some suggestion.

1) Change you GPU with 1070  because 1070 will give some better performance , efficiency, and 2Gb more Vram at same price point.

2) If you are ready to change your GPU than 750W PSU is over killing for you set up

3) Color scheme : change the colour of a case with black or red, because your mobo has black / red theme

 

I will go with this :

I am over by $100, with taxes you are looking at $2365.  You will see how I went over in the build.  I am wondering how serious you take development so I decided to showcase a build that can act more like a workstation than your original:

Thank you guys for the replies! Really appreciated.  

 

I will look into all this stuff when I got the time. Since everyone recommend 1070 I will switch the gpu for sure.

 

Thanks again!
