I am in the market for a desktop computer- specifically, one made for medium animation work and heavy gaming. I've poured a ton of research into this and my friends are all annoyed by how much I badger them about perfecting my build, so I think I'm finally done with this guy. I'll post my build, and then I'll ask you guys some last-minute questions before ordering the parts. Please take note that this is my first time building and ordering a computer, and that my research does not make me an expert, that's what you guys are!
Here is my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/vbV9P6
My concerns right now are fitting all the parts in the case I chose. I'm not sure if it'll give me any trouble, but I'm still a bit worried about it. The second concern I have is a little notification you guys will be able to see at the bottom of the pcpartpicker list. It says "Some AMD 970 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Vishera CPUs." What does that mean to you guys? Should I worry about it? Lastly, do I need a PC cooler?
Anyways, thank you for reviewing my list! This is my first desktop computer, and I want it to be able to handle Photoshop, Cinema 4D, and major games. For $1,100, I figure this is the best rig I could have cobbled together, but again, I'm not an expert. Please keep in mind that I don't want suggestions on a new build or different builds altogether- I just have a few questions that I'd like answered.
