Hello everyone. After a month of going around doing research I think I'm ready to get some opinions on my next build. This will be my second, the first having been built in 2009 based on the i5 Lynnfield. I'm going to use this build for heavy-duty graphics (Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator) and video editing (Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer) and a lot of FX and animation (Adobe After Effects). Gaming's not really the priority here, but there may be some 3D rendering through programs like Cinema-4D or Modo in the future.
Here's what I'm recycling from the old build:
EVGA GeFOrce GTX 770 02G-P4-2776-KR
Samsung 840 128GB SSD
16GB G.Skill Ripjaw DDR3 RAM 1333
Rosewill 650W 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Power Supply Hive-650 Black
And here's what I'm looking at purchasing:
i7-4930K 6-Core processor
T.B.D. CPU heatsink
ASUS P9X79 Mobo or P9X79LE
Corsair Vengeance C70 ATX case
Two 1TB WD Black Series Hard Drives for Raid 0
iStarUSA BPN-DE110SS Trayless Hotswap Bay
My budget is about $1200 right now. Any obvious errors? Does this look relatively balanced or am I over-spending or skimping too much somewhere?
Also I'm not sure if anyone has a recommendation for a good heatsink.
