PC for gaming & 3D modelling

[franman]

1. Budget & Location

My budget range is $950.  As for location I'm from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

 

2. Aim

The aim for this build is directed towards gaming and 3D modelling.

 

3. Monitors

I plan on buying one G-sync monitor, but that would be later on in the future and will ask for recommendations in another thread.  Currently, I'm going to run on my current LG monitor (not G-sync) that supports 1920 X 1080p.

 

4. Peripherals

I do plan on buying peripherals but that plan will take affect in the future after I planned and purchased my G-sync monitor.  The rig will run on Windows 10.

 

5. Why are you upgrading?

The reason I'm upgrading is because Soul Calibur 6 is coming out on October 19th this year and I want my build to run this game smoothly at the highest settings.  You can see the recommended PC specs on Nvidia's website.

 

6. Components owned

The components I've already acquired and want to use on my future build are as follows:

Hard Drives

Samsung - 840 Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive Samsung - Spinpoint M8 1TB 2.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive Graphics Card EVGA - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB SSC GAMING Video Card

7. My planned rig

Here are a list of components I'm planning to buy atm; do note that I've included the components I've already owned in there so just subtract them ($77.16 & $427.50) from the cost.  Plz provide any feedback as to what components you would replace and the reason for doing so.  Also is there any other component or tool I need to buy?

 

Update on list of components (version 2).

Old Version.

I recommend dual channel memory. Buy 2 sticks of 4GB, or 2 sticks of 8GB if you can afford it.

which programs will you use for 3d modeling?

The only 3D program I'm using is 3Ds Max.  (For texturing I use Substance Painter).

I took your recommendation and went for the G. Skills Ripjaw V series.  Interestingly there are two parts of the Ripjaw V series: F4-3200C16D-8GVK and F4-3200C16D-8GVKB.

 

I went for the F4-3200C16D-8GVK version since it has lower latency than the latter.
