Hello everyone!
I'm looking for some guidance on creating my first ever build.
I am a 3d animation/art student looking to upgrade this year so I can begin freelance work/ get job ready!
I need something that can handle the grunt of maya and zbrush and reduce hefty render times.
Ive done a little bit of research and put together this so far:
http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/HBfm6h
Approximate Purchase Date: within the week
Budget Range: ideally around $2000AUD, max $2300 (approx $1600USD)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: 3D Modelling, Animation and Rendering (zBrush, Blender, Maya 2016 etc., some Tvpaint), Adobe Photoshop, After Effects/Premiere pro... maybe a little bit of gaming e.e.
Are you buying a monitor: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: partpicker. newegg, center com, umart, IJK, scorptec, or International options OK
Location: Melbourne Australia
Overclocking: Doubtful
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Right now I'm struggling most with the motherboard, i chose the asusX99 but im a noob here- perhaps i could get away with something cheaper? I wouldnt mind cutting costs here if possible and maybe getting more storage.
I already have an antec df10 case but this supposedly wont work with the GTX970 so just picked the Deepcool TESSERACT- but suggestions welcome!
I also already have a seagate 1TB HHD and ol kingston 67SSD that could be used again..
Be great if you guys had any ideas for cutting costs so I could have more money to spend on updating peripherals .
Is this build overkill? or just plain dumb?
I definitely want to make something that is going to last me a good few years.
I would be so grateful for any feedback and help from you guys
Thank you!
