Good build for gaming and animation

[AlexSaff]

I'm kind of new to PC building and was looking for some advice on a build that I'm doing for my new PC. I will mainly use it for animation but will also be gaming a lot as well.

Here are the parts: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/nqscP6

For the case I will be using a fractal R5 but it didn't show up in the list of cases.

Perfect build , great choices.

Very good build. All quality parts, and good for what you need. That's a great machine.

The only thing that sticks out is the power supply unit. It's complete overkill. If you're planning on throwing in another video card down the road, it makes sense, but for a single 980, you can get away with 600 watts in that build.

I am planning on sticking another 980 in it in the future so that's why, and also for other upgrades too.

Gotcha. Then that's perfect. That machine will dominate everything you throw at it.
