Hello!
Over the last few months, I have been planning to build my own PC. I'm looking for some feedback in regards to the parts that I chose, to see if I am doing everything right, as I am a first-timer.
OK. So, I am trying to build a PC for under $1500 that will efficiently do 3D Rendering and CAD work (I use a lot of autodesk inventor). The case that I am using is a Thermaltake armor VA8000BWS. I already have the case, and I like it a lot (it's huge, but I like that), and I aslo don't have to spend more money for a new one. I also already have a WD 1TB HDD (7.2K RPM, Caviar Green, 32MB cache) that I plan on using as a storage drive. I also already have all of the fans necessary to run the PC (I have a lot), and two DVD Drives. (I also have a Corsair 750 watt PSU, but I think I'm going to get a new one as it is pretty old). Now onto the stuff that I need to actually buy:
I am going for a Broadwell-E 6800K (after emailing with Intel, I was informed that this was the best CPU for what I will be doing with it). My mobo is an ASUS X99 Deluxe II (ATX). My GPU is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (I plan on buying the one that costs $300 - the Founder's Edition (6GB), straight off of their website, but this I may need help with). I definitely need help finding a good CPU cooler that is also cheap - I do NOT plan on overclocking, just for the reference. My boot drive is a 128GB Samsung NVMe M.2 SSD. RAM-wise, I am going for 32GB (either 2 16GB sticks or 4 8GB sticks - help with this too) of DDR4 2400MHz (max my CPU supports, speed-wise), probably G-Skill Ripjaws. And last, I am in need of help determining the proper PSU to use. I don't understand modularity (and would prefer not to go with a modular one as they are more costly it seems), or the "80 plus" thing. Do keep in mind that my mobo has for CPU power two different power plus - a 4 pin and an 8 pin (both of which are recommended to be plugged in) - look it up on Amazon - it's hard to explain what I'm saying, and I am not sure how to go about buying a PSU that supports this (or buying the correct adapter).
If I forgot anything, please let me know, and let me know how my build sounds to you! Thanks for the help!! And yes, just for the record, I have read up loads on this, but I am still sketchy on some of the points that are probably useful to know. Thanks again!
