Hi all,
I'm building a computer for 3d modeling and graphics work plus some gaming. I have a tiny NYC apartment so I looked for a smaller form factor build and came across this:
https://pcpartpicker.com/b/wMQV3C
I'm looking to pretty much copy that build except I'll get 2 of the 500gb SSD's instead of 1 plus 2 250's. It'll be my first build, but I'm pretty handy so I want to give a go at doing it all myself. Basically I just wanna see if there's any adjustments/additions to the system I should account for before ordering all the parts, and any other tips you guys might have! Especially wondering about cables/cable management stuff since those aren't included on the list.
A couple more things: the guy who did this build wanted to run OSX but I'm gonna be running windows 8, does this change anything? Also, looking at the pictures on the build I'm wondering which way the 2 fans (the first pics show just one but the last ones show he added another) on the CPU cooler are facing? the fan on the back is exhaust while the one on the bottom is intake, so I'm thinking both the internal ones are also exhaust pushing air out the back but wanted to make sure.
