First PC build need help!

[Rengark]

Hi guys! I need advice for my first PC build which I will be using mainly for gaming (OSU!, CSGO, BF1) and game development in Unreal engine 4 and Unity Engine, as well as some light 3D modelling. I plan to keep the total cost under SGD $3000 as much as possible.( Yes i live Singapore  )

 

I have some parts from my brothers old build that he has kindly donated. A corsair CX750M, some AF140's, an MSI R9 280x Gaming 3GB, and a random Windows 10 key. I plan to reuse the PSU but for the graphics card I'm not so sure as to reuse it and wait till next year for AMD to release their new Vega GPU's or to get a 1060/1070 now. And I also need a monitor recommendation, one is enough for now.

 

I have two builds I'm choosing between in mind but I'm still open to suggestions. (Side note I would really prefer air cooling my CPU)

Price sheets for each build: Build 1.http://www.cybermind.com.sg/pdf-upload/pricelists/cybermind.pdf

                                                Build 2.http://www.fuwell.com.sg/uploads/misc/Fuwell121116.pdf

                                                Feel free to mix and match from either one. I didn't for convenience sake.

5820k + ASUS X99 STRIX MOBO COMBO -$1096

Corsair Vengance LPX 4x8GB -$299

First, I love the formatting. Looks great!

 

Second, no optical drive? How will you watch a DVD?

I assune you have 1070 on no2. Go no2

Based on what I know, when it comes to 3D modeling, the more cores you have, the better. Even the i7 4 cores 8 threads of my Gf's PC isn't enough to handle what she does, the rendering times are awfully slow.

First off, why are you spending so much on the motherboards and you can just build one system for both of your needs.

[Percenary]

Oops, my bad. Just realized it's not in usd.

Would recommend buying from amazon with amazon globe instead of SLS, if you wait 1-2 weeks you can probably get cheaper prices and get free shipping due to Amazonglobe.

Well I didn't make it clear my bad, but I am building one system. I'm asking which is a better option.

Well 1SGD = 0.7~USD so not that far off but it adds up.

What about a keyboard and mouse?

Here's a great build for what you're looking for. http://pcpartpicker.com/list/GCQpr7

Already have a black widow and a g502. Essentially I only need a PC and a monitor.

Will the 5820k's additonal 2 cores and 4 threads make a big impact on the render times?

It'll have a certain impact. I don't know how much of an impact it'll be.

That is a configuration I would definitely put into consideration. GPU prices in SG are very high though, a 1080 is easily 200-300 USD more expensive than the normal prices in other countries......
