Hi everyone,
I thinking about a new build, mostly for photo editing and gaming (and a little video editing).
Here are the parts I've chosen so far : http://pcpartpicker.com/user/zeero/saved/pG92FT
Some precisions : Red drives are for storage (in Raid 1), monitor is for gaming (I already have a NEC 27'' for editing), big PSU is for futur proofing (I'm thinking about adding more HDD and maybe going for a 3 way SLI sometime).
Still, I have some questions and I was wondering if anyone could help me out.
1. I noticed the GPU would come close to the Noctua NH-D15 in the primary PCIe slot. Is that an issue at all? Could I use another PCIe slot if I only use 1 GPU?
2. Do you think the D15 will be compatible with the crucial RAM I've chosen if I ever decide to populate every slot?
3. Is that RAM a good choice? I thought 32gb-2400 would be plenty for photoshop (and Premiere, when I start learning it). I also felt crucial was a trusty brand...
4. I was thinking about using the 1TB SSD for OS, programs and games. Would it be better to add a smaller SSD only for OS and use the 1TB for games, programs and scratch disk?
5. Do you guys think about any improvements I could make to this build?
Thanks ALOT!
