Hi guys.
This is my first workstation for maximum efficiency and productivity, which I am planning to buy in a few weeks time.
It will be used for motion graphics - 2D and 3D animation, modelling, rendering (Cinema 4D and Adobe Suite). It won’t be used for any gaming.
Here's the setup I thought might work:
CPU: Intel i7-4930K LGA 2011 Six-Core
Motherboard: ASUS P9X79 WS LGA 2011
Memory: G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 680 Classified 4 GB DDR5
Primary HDD: Samsung 840 Pro Series 512GB 2.5" Solid State Disk
HDD for After Effects Cache: Samsung 840 Pro Series 128GB 2.5" Solid State Disk
Media HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Power Supply: OCZ ZX Series 850W Fully-Modular 80PLUS Gold
CPU Cooling: Not really sure about this one... Should I get CORSAIR Hydro Series H110 or Noctua NH-D14 SE2011?
Case: Fractal Design Define R4
Monitor: Dell 27" LED U2713HM
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (OEM) (64-bit)
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or tips as I am not experienced in building pcs.
Thanks, I look forward to your comments.
