Hello,
Im building a PC specialized for 3d modeling and rendering (Cinema4D - adobe - 3d max). I have read alot about which parts to use. I have harvested my info and picked my parts, I just want to know if they are compatible with each other. And also i need to know which cooler is the best for my i7-3820 and which power supply is enough:

1)Core: Intel i7-3820
2)GPU: Quadro K600
3)Storage: 3TB WD30EZRX ~7200RPM SATAIII 64MB
Kingston SSDNow V300 Series SV300S37A 240GB
4)Motherboard: Intel DZ87KLT-75K LGA1150
5)RAM: (2x) Kingston HyperX Black 8GB 1600MHz 240-Pin DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) KHX16C10B1B/8
6)Case: Cooler Master N300 NSE-300-KKN2 Mid Tower ATX Dual USB3.0
7)Optical Drive: Samsung SE-S224Q 22X External DVDRW USB2.0 (i prefer the external)

Thanks alot, im ordering the parts today right after your opinion.
 
You'll need a power supply of 400W or more. The Quadro 600 only uses 40 W. Try a Seasonic M12II 620 $75 (Cheaper than the the 520) - http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151095

The i7 3820 won't work on the Z87 mobo. The i7 needs an X79/LGA 2011 mobo.

Instead, get an i7 4790k and Asus Z97-A mobo. If you're not ioverclcoking the cpu, just use the stock cooler. If so, get a H100i - but you'll need a bigger case.

Faster ram will help with rendering. Get 2 x 8gb 1.5v cl9 1866 ram

Hey again,
I bought the parts and assembled the pc but im having problems with hdmi display on the led monitor.
When i turn on the pc the monitor does not recognize any display input through the HDMI(as if nothing is connected to the screen)
My parts are:
i7 4770
asus z87-a mobo
Kingston 16GB kit 2400MHz
ssd 120GB
HDD 2TB
Samsung Monitor
Thermaltake smart SE 530Watt PSU
GIGABYTE GEFORCE GTX 750Ti 2GB Black edition

I tried displaying through the mobo's built in vga and on a seperate test through the Geforce gtx but still in both cases there is no display on the LED screen.
I think my problem might be from the PSU or the jumper.
Please help me if you can.
Also the POST CPU LED light is lit up(red light)
