Help with PSU,SSD and cooling

[bob the janitor]

Hello everyone

 

I will be building a PC for 3D modeling and rendering. I had a partslist in mind but some possibilities and informations made me reconsider.

 

Those are the parts I have already decided to buy, however I had some doubts regarding PSU and SSD

http://pcpartpicker.com/list/psTygL

CPU: Intel Core i7-6700 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($294.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
Motherboard: Asus B150M-C Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard 
Memory: Kingston HyperX Fury Black 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory  ($38.88 @ OutletPC) 
Memory: Kingston HyperX Fury Black 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory  ($38.88 @ OutletPC) 
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive  ($45.88 @ OutletPC) 

Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 960 4GB Video Card  ($209.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
Case: NZXT S340 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case  ($66.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
Monitor: LG 25UM58-P 25.0" 75Hz Monitor  ($193.39 @ PCM) 

 

 PSU- I was going for a Corsair CX500W but it was pointed out to me that it was not a good option.

Therefore my options are:

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/fZyFf7/seasonic-power-supply-s12ii520bronze

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/N86BD3/be-quiet-power-supply-bn224

 

SSD- Is it worth it paying the extra for the intel one or should one of the others?

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/GGL7YJ/corsair-internal-hard-drive-cssdf240gbleb (120GB version not 240, can´t find the correct link)

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/ztnG3C/intel-internal-hard-drive-ssdsc2kw120h6x1

 

In addition to that, should I bother buying extra fans for my case? 

And also, if I were to replace the stock HSF for something better/quieter can someone recommend a reasonable one?

 

Any advice regarding those topics or other parts of the build is appreciated.

Thanks

I take it the software you render/model in supports CUDA? Maybe consider the GTX 1060, as it's faster. Or a used 9 series card. The Cryorig H7 is a good looking, nearly silent and very high performance CPU cooler. The Seasonic PSU is the best option there.

I think you should take the 240GB SSD from Corsair because you will need that extra space and you will most likely not notice a speed difference.

And dont get extra case fans, its not needed and you wont see an improvement in performance.

1. Go with Seasonic. CX 500 is good. Don't consider EVGA at all

2. There won't be much of a big difference between SSD

I forgot to mention, but yes does. I was going for a 1060 but its current price is just too high to be fit into my budget, that is why I had to go down to a 960. Regarding used cards, that is not an option since I am Brazil and the market for those is not reliable.

I will take a look into that cooler. Thanks

Thanks for the replies. I believe I will be going with the Seasonic one.

EVGA can be a good brand, but not at all for their 80+ Bronze or below models.

I have decided to replace the stock intel CPU cooler, can anyone make a recommendation?

I was looking at this particular one: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/PJYXsY/cooler-master-cpu-cooler-rr212x20pmr1 . Is it good / quiet?

their B2 bronze power supplies are excellent units. their B1 and W1 units are fine for low-end pcs.
