Hello,
I am working on a new build to double as my CAD/CAM station for my company (MasterCAM), and use it for new games (Killing Floor 2, Battlefield 4, etc). I have assembled what I think is a good build, but am looking for some feedback on potential bottlenecks, part quality, etc. I am also looking to trim a little bit of money (hoping for $150-$200ish total savings) while still being able to function as an effective CAD/CAM machine.
Here is my current build:
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/fBhR99
CPU: Intel Core i5-4690 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor ($217.99 @ NCIX US)
Motherboard: ASRock Z97 Extreme3 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($94.99 @ Micro Center)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 12GB (3 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($94.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Mushkin Chronos 240GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($84.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Seagate Constellation ES 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($69.95 @ Newegg)
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB Twin Frozr V Video Card ($330.99 @ B&H)
Case: Corsair 750D ATX Full Tower Case ($129.99 @ Micro Center)
Power Supply: Corsair CX 600W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($52.98 @ Newegg)
Optical Drive: Samsung SH-224BB DVD/CD Writer ($19.39 @ Amazon)
(I know the HDD is less than what pc-part picker says, but I was able to find it much much cheaper than there, so I changed that price)
Thanks for the help!
