Additional Comments: This is my 2nd go at designing a high-end motion graphics workstation. You can see the first draft design of a system with twice the amount of cores, but lower operating frequency, in my last thread. To refresh, I will mostly be using Cinema 4D and the Adobe Suite and I would like to use windows 8 with a touch-screen monitor. Also, please keep in mind this is my first build.
