I'm doing my first ever computer build and I could use some knowledgeable advice.
I want to build a computer that will last for as long as possible (a pipe dream I'm sure with how fast technology progresses) with the goal in mind of game development using such programs as 3DS Max, Mudbox, Maya, AutoDesk Inventor, Revit, Unreal Development Kit, and other 3D modeling programs used for game design. I also want to spec it to be a fairly decent high end gaming PC. Not the best perhaps, but decent enough to play most visually graphic games on high levels of detail.
I haven't bought anything beside the case and Blue Ray disk drive yet, but I want to know what some experts think of this build and what graphics cards I should be aiming for.
Intel Core i7-5930K 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor
Cooler Master Seidon 120M 86.2 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Asus RAMPAGE V EXTREME EATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard
Crucial 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory (to start with, x8 eventually)
PNY Optima 240GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (to start with, x6 eventually)
Phanteks Enthoo Luxe ATX Full Tower Case
Corsair AX1500i 1500W 80+ Titanium Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
Asus VN289Q 60Hz 28.0" Monitor (just one for now, might go to two screens later but not certain)
Any advice that could be given for this build would be greatly appreciated. At present I was thinking of buying a Asus Radeon R9 290 4GB DirectCU II Video Card and eventually getting three more for 4-way crossfire, but now I hear that isn't particularly feasible since such things can cause problems and boost performance only a little while being a huge power hog. Basic price range I'm looking for is under $500, the $600 - $700 is doable, but I really can't go up to a thousand if I can avoid it.
Please, any advice that can be given would be greatly appreciated.
