Hi,
I am getting this PC built in the coming weeks to be able to work part-time from home. I will mostly be using this computer for creating/texturing hi-rez meshes in 3dsmax, Substance Designer/Painter, Photoshop and Zbrush...no overclocking/playing games, etc.
I tried to base a lot of what I'm thinking I'd need on the workstations we have here at work (HP Workstation z240), but trying to get the cost down. Here is what I have so far:
MOB: MSI Z270 TOMAHAWK ATX LGA1151 DDR4-3600
CPU: INTEL® CORE™ I7-7700 Processor 8M Cache 4 Cores 3.6GHZ
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 GAMING, ACX 2.0 6GB GDDR5, DX12
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Lpx 32GB 2X16GB DDR4-2400MHZ CL16
SSD: Corsair force series mp500 240gb M.2 NVMe
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 550 G2 550W Gold Modular (?)
I'll be getting 2 of my old 1tb hard drives added to this build as well, and I currently use 3 additional old external drives (1-2 tb each) for storing files.
Will 550w be enough for this system? I checked the various on-line calculators and it seems so, but the guy at the store said "I was cutting it close". I will be upgrading to 64gb of ram by the end of the year and I might also be upgrading the graphics card within the next 3-5 years as well.
PS: I'm also thinking of getting a fan for my cpu (Cooler Master Hyper T2), but is it really needed in my case?
Thanks for your time!
