budget - £1200
usage - writing essays, watching movies, playing mmos 4 hours a day, 3D rendering/sculpting
parts not required - keyboard, mouse, monitor
CPU - intel core i7 4790K 3.6GHz quadcore
GPU - GTX 780ti 3GB
RAM - 16GB
Hard drive - 250GB SSD
Motherboard - Asus Z87-A ATX LGA1150
Power supply - 750W corsair ATX12V
Cooling - cosair H55 57CFM liquid
OS - vista (im used to vista but very undecided, would love input)
I've been running the same pc for 8 years now. I've been gaming mostly on ps3 but that broke recently. I've got a strong interest in blender but my current pc cant render cycles (nvidia 6200 im not kidding). This will be my first ever build. I need advice on this.
Should I go for water cooling or stick with 3*80mm fans?
Is the 750W power supply overkill? will this be more expensive long term than a 600W one?
Would i be better off with a GTX 970 4GB GPU? which card is visually more powerful?
Can i SLI the motherboard with a GTX 970 and GTX 780ti together?
