First build advice

It's been over a decade since I built my last machine from a barebones kit, so I'm a little rusty. I'm building this machine for work in lieu of buying a system from Boxx, so we can get a little more bang for our buck.

 

This will be used for registering and meshing large laser scanner point cloud datasets. The two software packages we use are multithreaded which is why I'm more worried about the number of cores as opposed to clock speed.

 

Anyway, thoughts?

It's for work, but it's definitely a check on my bucket list.
