Hello guys,

 

Aim:

 

I'm Graphic Designer mostly PS,AI,InD,AE,C4D,zbrush

I do game too :)

 

In late february I'm upgrading :) First time will try to full pc myself, not only upgrade cpu or ram

 

Monitors:

 

I would like to use 2x 27" monitors + my wacom cintiq 24" HD Touch
Also in addition to these, would be super awesome use HDMI to TV at the same time!

 

So 3-4 Screens

 

Budget:

 

MAX 9-10k USD (im from EU, so parts are +21%VAT)

 

Part List:

 

What do you think about this?
 

CPU: Intel Core i7-4930K

CPU cooler: Noctua NH-U12P SE2
 

Motherboard: ASRock X79 EXTREME11
 

Ram: 2x DDR3 Corsair Dominator GT 32GB (4x8GB) 1866MHz
 

GPU: 1-2x GIGABYTE TITAN OC
 

SysSSD: 500GB 840 EVO SAMSUNG
 

HDD: 4x raid 10 - SEAGATE HDD Desktop Barracuda 7200 (3.5",2TB,64MB,SATA III-600)
 

PSU: Corsair AX1200i Digital 1200W, 80 Plus Platinum
 

Case: Fractal Design Define XL R2 Black Pearl
 

Case fans: 4x Noctua NF-A14 FLX
 

Monitors: 2x Asus LED PA279Q 27''

 

 

 

Misc

 

Though i would like to use the 10bit color support for those Asus monitors, and would get for example Quadro K4000, I'm not sure if i can only use K4000 for color, and titan for performance in my apps & games

 

 

 

Anyway, looking forward for your tips, thanks!

Happy holidays!

Just as Jake said above me, it would be better if you shared a budget.  So if you could, that would be great.  Right now I can only give you advice on which parts are sufficient.  Personally, I would prefer to not get the 4930K as I do not like LGA 2011 (prefer a 4770K), but maybe it is personal preference.  So you could keep that if you want the extra memory and the 6 cores.  Also, you really should go for at least a 120GB SSD.  Booting and overall usability is just so much more smooth.  Also, it would make your key programs a lot faster and is guaranteed to speed up your render times.  You could even use a couple SSDs to use as a "scratch disk."  Regarding graphics, if you do not do too much gaming, go for a workstation class card.  Otherwise, I guess the Titans are the best bet if you plan to game a lot.   Everything overall looks pretty good.  But, please make sure you get an SSD or two.

AMD FX-8350 - Asus M5A-99X R2.0 EVO - Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 (9-9-9-24 @1600MHz) - Gigabyte Radeon HD 7970 (OC 1000MHz) - Corsair TX-650


Corsair H100i - Fractal Design R4 - Razer Black Widow Ultimate 2013 - MadCatz R.A.T. 7 - WD Caviar Black 2TB and Samsung 840 120GB

looks good care to share some money? lol jk as for the 10bit with the quadro i believe u can just use it for 10 bit pretty sure thats what diesel does at linustech

 

Edit: maybe change those seagate drives to WD red.

Haha, sure but its a loan :) Well i saw that, but he just renders on titan, not all the apps let do stuff on the other card. 

Good call to WD red! Thanks

I need as many cores as i can get, so yeah. I have Samsung 840 500gb SSD on the list :), and i will do ram disk from the 64 gigs of ram i will have.
