I wanted to ask you before, what do you think about it? My main work will be in AutoCAD, SketchUP, 3D Studio, VRay, Photoshop, and also some gaming. My requirements are:

+ compatibility with 64GB of ram
+ 6 cores CPU
+ already bought the RAM and the case

And also a question:

+ if 290 is a good choice, which is the best I can get?

Thanks you so much!

good build, but a suggestion, maybe get a better cpu cooler, im not sure if the Hyper 212 evo could the cpu cool after overclocking. For the ssd, get a samsung 840 evo, it has pretty fast read/write speeds.

Thank for the repply! About the SSD, Crucial MX100 is a new model, not the old M500 and it seems to be faster and cheaper than 840 EVO:

About the cooler, I though a 212 would be anough but I know it is a big build... would you suggest me any other cooler? Thanks!

Maybe a liquid cooler? I suggest the Corsair h80i or h100i. If you want a small radiator, go for the h80i, but if you want more cooling and willing to use the top for the radiator, go for the h100i.
