Hi,

I am going to order this PC and need to have your final advice,

CPU: Intel Core i7-5820K
MB: Asus Sabertooth x99
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB(4x4GB) 2666MHz CL16
VGA: Asus GT 610 2GB
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 120GB
ODD: Pioneer DVR-S21FXV
PSU: Cooler Master V650S 650W Gold
Cooler: Noctua NH-U12S
Case: Deep Cool Kendomen Ti (with 5x 120mm fans, 2x at front, 2x at top and 1x at rear)

This workstation is mainly supposed to work under full load 24/7. I don't intend to OC when it is under full load 24/7, but maybe mild OCing under light and short loads. I know the VGA is not a proper choice, but my number crunching application is CPU-based only. One of my concerns is about the stability and durability of the mobo under "100% load" for "24/7 use".

Is this system built well? Any recommendations would be so much appreciated.

Thanks for your quick reply. GT 730 is ok. There is a little difference in their prices. I chose GT 610 because it was the cheapest one.
 
your build should be pretty reliable, and last for years, however if its CRITICAL it runs 24/7 i would get a xeon system they are designed to run under high load 100% of the time and they run forever, i have a old xeon going on 10 years another 4 going on 6, and countless other ones i have never had a chip die

Obviously, xeons are built for such conditions. But, they are so expensive here and the need for server mobos and ECC RAMs are other limitations. Plus, I need as much as possible CPU power. My work is not that much critical if there are one or two unwanted system restarts in a month. However, this matters if such issues keep on and on.
