I’m a graduate student getting my degree in Animation & 3D Design, so I need something with processing, internet connectivity and memory POWER. I would be running heavy programs like Adobe Creative Cloud apps (like Photoshop), Flash CS6, 3DsMax, Source Filmmaker, and other such programs (often simultaneously). Some items in my parts list may be overkill, so if I need to scale it back, let me know. My budget hovers around $2860 or so for this venture, so money is not really an issue. Here’s the list:
CPU- Intel Core i5 6600K 3.5 Ghz Quad Core
Cooler- Noctua NH- UI25 55.0 CFM
Motherboard- MSI z170A Gaming M5 ATX LGA1151
Memory- Crucial 16 GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2133
Video Card- EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti6GB Superclocked ACX 2.0+
Storage- Samsung 850 EVO-series 500 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Power Supply- Corsair RM 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX (next level down on this.)
I also require a BluRay Optical drive for burning and ripping
*I have no idea what case exists that can fit all this in there, so stylish suggestions would be awesome
* I was told by other "experts" that I will need a Sound Card: Asus Xonar DG, because I’m hooking up my Aperion Audio Allaire Bluetooth speakers to my new PC
*Since I will be running my desktop off of a direct LAN ethernet cable, would it be wise to invest in a WiFi adapter?
Irony: For all my time spent with my eyes on a screen, I know jack squat about what makes a computer work best. Any help offered here would be great. My future business will thank you.
