New System Configuration -
Building new work computers for my office; simultaneously running 30+ (sometimes upwards of 50+) applications, including Photoshop.
Budget: $3250 each, but authorized to go over slightly in order to be able to obtain five (5x) 27" monitors. (Ideally, if I could find some inexpensive, but quality, 2560x1600 resolution monitors, that would be best. Not likely to find that anywhere, though.)
Contraints: Purchasing everything from NewEgg.com; free 2-day shipping through them. Plus, their product quality and customer service are, more or less, unmatched in my book. If I have any problem, they get it fixed asap. I prefer to purchase everything through NewEgg.
I have left room in the build to upgrade RAM capacity (MB Supports 64GB, and I am placing 8GB Sticks in each slot, beginning with 2x8GB=16GB), as well as another GPU for additional processing-power and (up to) seven (7) additional monitors as productivity continues to climb and the necessity for greater multitasking capability rises with it.
According to a power calculator, I will need at least 575W to power the machine as-is, let-alone once there is more RAM and an additional GPU.
As is, 850 x .8 (80 PLUS Certified) = 680W. Each FirePro W600 draws up to 75W.
With an additional GPU, the system power-draw would become 680W + 75W = 755W.
850W Should leave an acceptable amount of 'breathing room' (even with the additional power-draw of [potentially] an additional six (6) 8GB sticks of DDR3 1600 RAM).
Every part has either a 4/5 or a 5/5 rating on NewEgg.com
