My PC Build Is Finally Done, Thank You.

[Faris.S]

Hey everyone, what's up?

in the last couple months, I did have many troubles with my old computer that I built it long time ago, but apparently it died from heavy projects that I used to do on it and it become useless.
so I had to build a new one that fit my needs but I didn't like Gaming PC rigs nor felt like the need of it due to the high price, but I had the big need of a computer that will last for long without troubles for maybe a few years from now and can be upgraded to a decent 3D rendering machine.
I usually just go to any cheap local store and ask for parts that are good there and just build it randomly without taking anyone suggestions even mine. But after few years when I had my old computer, I noticed some good communities around with really helpful reviews and I start learning how PCs actually work due to linus and other helpful videos that made me try new things with confidence.
 

so thank you Linus' group media and community for the help, I really appreciate the efforts for the great helpful information that I learnt it from you guys !

anyway, without further ado. here's my Build log that I made it so far.

CPU: i7-5820k

MB: msi X99A - SLI Plus 

Sys Cooler: Corsair H110i GTX 
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8 GB) 3000MHz 
Case: Carbide 600q
PSU: Corsair AX760

GPU: GT 730 / Quadro M4000 "Coming from shipping service in Sep"

HDD: 2x WD 1TB [Black]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the incoming upgrades will be additional RAMs, and GPU as that's all I really need so far.

RAM: + Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8 GB) 3000MHz = overall: 32GB of RAMs

GPU: GTX 1080 "for VR and 4K project preview"

 

I hope it gonna be the first and the last great build I make, it was so exhausted building this heavy setup as I broke my back couple times. and maybe its not really that epic build like any others but I did have hard times searching and learning things, but I did really enjoy it anyway!
Thanks everyone again for being supportive, and have a nice day.

Why did you go with 2 1TB HDDs instead of 1 2TB HDD?

RAID 1?

[Faris.S]

RAID 1 "mirroring" and RAID 0 "stripping" was a good suggestion from an old friend so I don't lose important files again or filled them quickly.
thanks for pointing this by the way, but I may setup my personal rendering server someday... it will be so long to happen but it's essential in future.

I think I need an SSD for system installation and boot as I haven't made it by my own yet. I'll do more research about it later once I get the Quadro M4000 first , I'll also share my experience and helpful tips in my way as well.

RAID 0 is the opposite of RAID 1, with RAID 1 you get your files in both HDDs, with RAID 0 if you lose one of them you lose all of the files

@carzacc 
Yes, I meant the filling part for RAID 0 as RAID 0 split the file into a valid number of HDDs on the RAID setting, I just call them Stripping and Mirroring so I don't get confused about it.

you can build a pyramid of RAID processing for a server machine which is cool and confusing as well

For sure get an SSD! The increase in speed for boot time and overall OS and application  "snappyness" will be very noticeable, and makes working with the system way more enjoyable overall. I know it kills me to work with a system without one in it now haha Even though you should be keeping good backups anyway using the SSD for OS and apps and HDD for storage will help prevent you from losing data in the event of an OS crash, which I have been seeing more and more lately (Thanks windows 10).
