Building a new computer with little experienc

I would first like to start of by saying thank you for taking your time to view my post and I know there are hundreds of people asking for the same thing.


This is my current planing

http://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/k6Xbpb

 

I will be using this pc for 3d renders small editing in premiere pro and some photoshop work plus gaming

The questions I want answered is if this is ok for what I want and will there be any major issues I should be concerned about, I have done a huge amount of research into planning this computer and would like a second opinion.

 

Thanks, Lachie

For a person that has little experience then this first attempt is really good

I would get a G2 EVGA psu or RMx corsair

WD blue is cheaper but black offers better performance which could be somehow benfecial to your work

 

Even a nice white/black theme. I like it

Oh thank you for the fast reply, the only thing that worried me was that the power supply I chose people said it has some coil whine

Seems like a good choice, the only thing I look for in a power supply is its reliability and that it is modular since I will be getting cable mods later.

It's not about coil whine, that's a random ocurrence. But the newer EVGA PSUs (AKA not the NEX ones) are much better. They last longer, are more stable, et caetera.

Ok I did a quick skim over one of the jonnyguru reviews of the power supply you suggested and it seems to be in good shape and order for what I want, now the cpu cooler I have no idea with either. I am planing overclocking the slightest. later when I have built the computer but I needed a cpu cooler that will be able to keep that sucker cool while having a chance of overclocking. It does not have to be 100% silent as long as it is not a nuisance .

 

Thanks

Eh you still should get a Cryorig H5 since it's not much more and it can basically be fanless at stock, and much more silent and cooler at OC.

Price is not a huge issue, if it is better than the one my mate recommended me and the clearance for the ram is fine I will go with it. ;)

RAM clearance you say. The Hyper 212X doesn't clear RAM well in my experience. (I have the 212 EVO, it's the same shape)

You'll be fine on the H5 :)\
