My First Build

[Knoja]

Hello everyone,

Here is the list of parts that i am planning to buy... hopefully this month.

The plan is to use this for 3D modeling (Catia, Solidworks), AutoCAD, Photoshop/Lightroom and very light gaming.

 

CPU: Intel Core i7-6850K 3.6GHz 6-Core Processor

Cooler: Thermaltake Pacific RL360 D5 Hard Tube RGB Water Cooling Kit

Motherboard: Asus X99-A II ATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard

Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 64GB (4 x 16GB) DDR4-2400 Memory

Storage: Samsung 950 PRO 512GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive

Storage: Western Digital BLACK SERIES 4TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Storage: Western Digital BLACK SERIES 4TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Video Card: NVIDIA Titan X (Pascal) 12GB Video Card

Case: Thermaltake Core P5 ATX Mid Tower Case

Power Supply: Corsair 1000W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit

Monitor: LG 34UM95 34.0" 60Hz Monitor

 

And comments and advice would be greatly appreciated

PSU overkill

Totally. I would go with 750W maximum, it has still room for OC and upgrades.

Also i would say he wouldn't see any difference between 64GB and 32GB RAm but if he has money and he doesn't care about it then 64 is ok.

Tbh that's true, if you're doing 3D modelling (unless it's animated and in stereoscopic 4K) it's pretty overkill. The only uses for those amounts of ram are VMs and render farms. As far as I understood, you're not planning to do any of those, so I would reconsider that aspect too.

I will change this to 750W. It worked out to about 556W according to pcpartpicker.com. i figured double the "wattage, what could be the big deal".

Tbh, i have know idea what i am doing here!!!! 

 

I will adjust the RAM to 32.

Why the i7 6850K over the 5820K/6800K ?

I guess mainly for a couple of reasons

1. The higher OC

2. With the Nvidia Titan X(P) I figured a 40 lane PCIe would be better than a 28 lane.

3. And for a couple hundred more... Why not.

 

Truely it's all a guessing game for me. Super new at this and wanted to give it a go. If you have a reason why the others would be a better choose, I'm all ears... ?

You should easily be able to overclock the 5820K/6800K to the same clock speed.

 

A single gpu will still only use x16 pci-e lanes regardless.

 

Spend the extra couple of hundred on something else, or keep it in your pocket.
