This is my first time I want to order components to build my own PC. I want to modernize my Dell XPS 8500 but read that the case is not compatible with new intel chips or motherboards so I want to start from scratch.
I do some work in Adobe (preimiere, photoshop, etc..) and Pinnacle Studio and play a few games but definitely not an avid gamer. I was told that more cores may be better with the video editing programs. So some opinions would be greatly appreciated:
CPU: Intel i7 7820x
Memory: TridentZ16 GB DDR4 4244
Motherboard: either ASUS PRime X299 Deluxe or Gigabyte AORUS x299 Gaming 7 (a bit cheaper than the ASUS and cooler LED lighting)
Case: Corair Crystal series 470x RGB mid-Tower case
SSD: M1 Samsung EVO 500 GB
One 1 TB WD HDD that I likely will take from my older computer as it is only 1 year old
EVGA Modular PSU (also <1 year old in my older computer so will use that)
Noctura NH-D15 CPU cooling fan
GEForce 1080 GPU (already own that so will take that from my older computer also)
Also, the case comes with 3 front fans. It can hold a rear and two top fans. Should I buy these? Are one of these cooling kits with the radiators better give my purpose or are regular fans enough?
Thank you so much for your help before I spend a bunch on this system. I know it is likely over-kill but I want it to last several years. Thanks.
