Hello everyone!
So, I've been putting off pulling the trigger on a new system until Skylake came out, and now it looks like the i7-6700K is right around the corner. My hope is to have a parts list cocked and ready to go, so that as soon as it becomes available I can buy all this stuff.
Here's the parts list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/j78dVn
Would love to see what kind of input this amazing community would have on such a build. I'll be using it for lots of Adobe programs; Photoshop (occasionally billboard-size images) Illustrator, Premiere (hoping to be 4K capable), AfterEffects and some 3D modeling and rendering in Cinema 4D, Blender and Mandelbulb 3D.
Intel Core i7 6700K
Noctua NH-U14S 55.0 CFM CPU Cooler <-- if someone can recommend a more aesthetically pleasing cooler with the same value and effectiveness, I'd certainly be open to that. I also was looking at this one because I felt secure that it wouldn't obstruct the RAM.
Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD3 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard <-- I had a hard time finding any real reason to go with the slightly more expensive UD5.
Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-2666 Memory <--I'll buy two sets of these for a total of 64 GB
Samsung SM951 128GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive <-- To install my hero programs, and also render/export to, and then move the file to storage.
Sandisk Extreme Pro 240GB 2.5" Solid State Drive <-- To boot Windows
I also have another Samsung SATA SSD that I use for a scratch disk, which I will cannibalize from my current system. Can't recall the exact model at the moment
Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive <--I'll get two of these and run a RAID 1 so I'm secure in my local bulk storage
EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB Superclocked+ ACX 2.0+ Video Card <--Almost went for a Titan, but it seemed like overkill in this area for my purposes, and this looked like a good compromise.
Corsair Vengeance C70 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case <--Because I move this rig all over for work
Corsair Professional 650W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
TP-Link TL-WDN4800 802.11a/b/g/n PCI-Express x1 Wi-Fi Adapter
Thanks in advance, everyone! Am I missing anything?
