Hey there,
Thought I`d post here as Tom's Hardware and the forums around here are usually swarming with people who are quite up to date regarding hardware and software as well and they pretty much know what they are talking about .
So, I am planning on buying a CPU, Motherboard, Graphics Card and RAM.
I am a 3D Artist, working with programs like 3DSMax, Maya, Unreal Engine 4, ZBrush, Photoshop etc. My goal is to choose components that best serve my 3D work. This work is made up mostly of rendering calculations, working with scenes that handle a larger amount of texture data etc. I already have a pretty good SSD, so no need for that at the moment.
Also, I`d like to play games every now and then, BUT by no means on 4K resolution. 1080p and a bit higher is enough for me.
Another important thing to mention is that I will be purchasing these components in the UK, so I`m looking at the best prices from http://www.pcpartpicker.co.uk
My budget is: 900-950 GPB = 1,350 - 1,400 $.
Here is what I have cooked up so far:
CPU: Intel Core i7-5820K, Haswell-E, 6 Core, LGA 2011-3

Motherboard: MSI X99S SLI PLUS, Intel X99, S 2011-3, DDR4

Videocard: Asus STRIX GTX970 DirectCU II OC 4GB (Maxwell)

MEMORY: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR4-2400 Memory
