Building a new PC, need approval and opinions.

[OathBound]

Hi,

I am soon going to build a new PC and would like for your opinion on the matter. I am going to use it for architectural modelling, archviz and occasional gaming. I will be using software such as AutoCad, Revit, 3d max, Vray, Unreal Engine, Lumion etc. Also I will be overclocking. The build i've currently settled is this:


Motherboard: MSI x99A Raider
CPU: Intel i7 6900k
GPU: GTX 1080 Windforce
CPU Cooler: Cryorig R1 Ultimate
RAM: HyperX Fury Black DDR4 2666MHz 4x8GB
Power Supply: Corsair CX750M 750W
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB
SSD: Samsung 850 Evo MZ-75E250B 250GB
PC Case: Fractal Design Define R5
Additional Ventilation: 2x Corsair Air Series AF140 Quiet Edition High Airflow 140mm Fan
1 additional intake vent on front of the case and 1 at the bottom of the case.

Let me know what you think.
Thanks in advance!

Congrats, you have a lot of money I envy you, enjoy your setup! (hopefully you have a very good monitor to use all those frames you will be generating)

Btw...since you say you will be productive not just gaming.... did you think about AMD Ryzen?

I have seen some reviews, but i am not sure. Is it better for workstations or is it just more cost effective?

Would like some more opinions. I have a fear that when I buy all the parts, one may not be compatible with the other.

Please?

Well i would tell you dont buy 1000$ cpu, thats really ludacrissly expensive for no reason.... i would just buy i7 7700k with Z270 motherboard, it seems you have lots of money to spend Or...if you want....ryzen, but thats your choice, look on youtube how it compares to intel. Ryzen seems like a damn good deal for workstations, and its also more than decent for gaming, just a bit slower than intel but still you would get crazy frames in all games

Yes, I think you are right. In the past couple of days I've been researching this and decided to use Ryzen.

You really dont need 1000w PSU Pick up 500w PSU from reputable brand and you are golden Also, if u want to save 200$, go with Ryzen 1700 instead of 1800x https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXxpIqHoi34
It's strange how nobody else is commenting on this? Hmmm

Also im not sure you will have to research this, i think ryzen dont go well with high speed RAM (not sure tho, look it up)
