Gaming + Some 3D Rendering Rig

[Rayzer_116]

Hi I'm building a gaming rig which I will do some 3D rendering on later down the road.
I will probably overclock the CPU.

The build is: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/LRFZ3C

Just making sure it will do what I need.

What about the Silverstone Strider ST70F-PB 700W?

 

[Archaic59]

Nope. XFX is made by Seasonic and is as good as it gets for quality and dependability. The Silverstone is somewhere between the Thermalcrap and the XFX.

Okay cool, do you think the i7-4790K is good for small time 3D rendering and gaming?

 

[Archaic59]

Absolutely you are correct. The i7-4790K is king for typical editing, rendering, overclocking and gaming. If you want i7 goodness without the built-in graphics and no overclocking, the Xeon is a good alternative. For professionals there's the 6/8 core X99 platform.

Awesome any ideas to make it a little cheaper or will I get the best performance with these parts?

Only thing you could drop that would make a dent in the price would be the SSD but I don't recommend doing it. The performance offered by an SSD is amazing. Your rig is great and I would not change a thing, except the thermaltake PSU. A cheaper tower may save a few bucks but the Enthoo pro is very nice.

Cool, thanks for all the help!
