Hi guys,
I am trying to put a parts list together for my first real build. I am looking to put together a machine that can handle a variety of tasks. I plan on using this computer to edit very large photos, hd video, and most importantly 3d modeling and finite element analysis. My main concern is putting something together than can handle all this for the next 3-4 years. So basically looking for good reliable parts that aren't going to screw me over during the build or down the line. I am also looking to try and keep this under $1,500 now and have some room to upgrade without building another computer (more storage space, crossfire/sli, etc...). Here is the build I have put together. Any advice would be appreciated.
