Hey guys,
It's been a while since I have built a PC so I'm kind of out of the loop on parts and components. I wanted some feedback on parts I have picked out for my PC (which I will be using for primarily adobe creative cloud editing work mostly 1080p with the possibiltiy for 4k down the line and some gaming here and there).
CPU:
Intel Core i7-5820K 3.3GHz 6-Core Processor
(I heard 6 cores is the sweet spot for video editing and I will probably be overclocking it. Don't think I need the 5930 as I don't think I need the extra PCI).
Cooling:
Corsair H110i GTX 104.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
(Not too sure about the differences in the Corsair H models but this seemed to be a popular choice)
Motherboard:
Asus X99-A II ATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard
(So this is where I think I need the most advice on. I wanted ASUS because my others boards have been ASUS and I really like them but unsure on how much extra I really need on the x99 motherboard. I won't be doing SLI initially (probably won't be doing it down the line either as I'll just buy a new card). I wanted at least 64GB of memory cabability. Still on the fence with USB 3.1 but I thought it would be better to future proof a bit. And then maybe another couple slots for expansion if I decide on any kind of card readers later on.
Memory:
G.Skill Ripjaws Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory
(I was going to go with 32GB to start with)
GPU:
Asus GeForce GTX 980 4GB STRIX Video Card
Hard Drive:
Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive-Use for OS and program files
Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive-Use for Previews, Media Cache and exports
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive-Use for Media (May even get 2TB or RAID0?)
PSU:
EVGA SuperNOVA G2 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
Thoughts?
