My very first build

This is for 3D modelling, rigging, sculpting, and rendering.

I'd switch the PSU for an EVGA GQ/B2/GS/G2 and be set.

There's no window in my case, and the psu is overkill for the amount of power I'm drawing anyways.

if you want to spend money on WiFi, do yourself a favor an buy a Intel one

There's more to PSUs than wattage and I'm referring to quality, thus EVGA B2/GS/GQ/G2 for you. That Cooler Master isn't as good as any of those.

I'd suggest getting some Black 4TB instead. I know they're pricier but the write/reads are better even if you use RAID.

I'll keep that in mind when I get another job.

Had to cheap out to make the build work somehow.

That'll be an upgrade once the cash starts to flow in.

I suggest Kinguin for your Windows 10. It's ~$30 CAD for the pro 64 bit version, as opposed to your $115.

 

Edit: Re-purpose this money for other parts, like a better HDD or Graphics card. (BTW what software do  you use? I've heard of some incompatibilities with the GTX 1000 Series and some 3D software (CUDA or something)).

Sorry to say that it's already been built :c

The Seagate Barracuda or Hitachi Ultrastars would be better than those for your purposes.

I don't think you need 144hz monitor for editting and rendering.

That monitor is for my gaming purposes.

You can get windows 10 key from kinguin less than $40.

The PSU is the last thing you should be cheapening out on... you can scrap one HDD for now and easily add in another later. It's not so easy with the PSU and it's best to get a solid PSU now rather than later.

Ohh....

 

well I guess the PSU is fine now but I would have changed it beforehand. Why'd you not ask *before* building it?

I was in a hurry to get this done before school started, and I needed some leftover cash after tuition.

Regardless, I could get a new power supply at any time.

I thought you were going to be building this soon, the PSU is fine but I wanted to get you a better PSU for the money. You're fine now.
