Is this PC Build Good?

[loscamos]

Hello, I'm going to buy a PC for 3D and heavy photo manipulation. I ended up with this build. What do you think about it?

Not really sure about the MOBO and the PSU. I chose the 5820k over the 6700k because games are not my priority. Thanks

What will it be used for? There's some overkill and under kill here. Not sure why you are using X99/Haswell and not Z170/Skylake. Is there a reason why you are thinking I7 instead of I5 for gaming? Will you be doing video editing?

He wants to do 3D, photo manipulation and most probably graphical rendering for that more cores work out good.

I will use it for pretty heavy graphic design work, and 3d modeling and rendering with c4d. Also some games but it's not my main concern. I decided to go with x99 and haswell because I have red that performance for 3d and stuff like that are better. 6700k better for gaming on the other end.

Since I'm not really expert with pc build are the mobo and the psu good for my build?

 

[VR PC-BUILD]

Go for GTX1080 instead of GTX980Ti it will be far better GPU

He did say that he was going to be using it for 3D and heavy photo editing. So I can understand the reasoning behind going with Haswell E.

OP, I would suggest swapping out a few things to save some money. Chiefly the PSU, mobo, RAM, and graphics card. I also swapped out the cooler, but that's more of an aesthetics thing. Still keep the same sort of storage, same amount of RAM (just in a full kit that's been tested to work together) but improves on cost, and has a better GPU (In the form of the GTX1080 that's releasing in a short while)

5820k

This is what I was looking for. I'd like to save some money and still keep good parts

Sorry, missed that first sentence, my eyeglasses are fuzzy today. A few tweaks from CV_Taihou's build. A different board that supports the DDR4-2666 RAM, the ASRock would downclock to 2400, a different case for you to consider. I included $700 for a GTX 1080 in the price chart. Rumors are that they'll start at $599, but frequently when third party manufacturers release, they are higher than that due to overclocking and cooling options, along with demand for the new card. It still comes in under your original build.

Or

Spend $100 extra to get 2 extra cores but GTX1070 instead of GTX1080 GTX1070 is only next to GTX1080 and a little behind of GTX980Ti

I would raise the funding a bit more and go for 1st option as it will last you very long without upgrade requirement for job you do.

Choice is yours.

Does the Ripjaws Series V clear the CPU Cooler? And the general thought I had with the motherboard was just something that wasn't as much as the originally listed MSI Board

 

[loscamos]

Thanks for all the suggestions, I really appreciate it. I think I will get the 1080, I can not afford cpu better than the 5820k unfortunately. The MSI motherboard is 20€ cheaper than the asus x99 and as far as I see they are almost identical. The CRYORIG looks much cheaper than the Phanteks, so I will go with that one. EVGA and Corair PSU are same price. Is EVGA better?

Are you sure you're looking at the same PSU's? The Corsair one you listed is a platinum rated PSU, while the EVGA is gold rated and cheaper by 50 dollars. If you can get the platinum rated one for the same price by all means go for it. I have the 1000w version of that PSU and have 0 complaints. Again though, the only reason I bought it was because it was 5 dollars more than the gold rated one last boxing day

 

[loscamos]

My bad. EVGA Gold is 106€ while corsair gold is 160€. I will get the EVGA!

Yes, the RAM clears. That's the beauty of the Cryorig. I understand the mobo, and I do really like ASRock boards, I use two in current builds at my house. The ASRock didn't support DDR4 2666 only DDR4 3000+(OC) / 2933+(OC) / 2800(OC) / 2400(OC) / 2133 / 1866 / 1600 / 1333 / 1066. I figured a board that supported 64 gb and DDR4 2666 would be preferable. With four slots of up to 16gb RAM, I figured maxing out two slots for 32gb was a good thing to do. It gives room for upgrade, but should be very sufficient for now.

The beauty of this is, you're not wrong, and I'm not right because it boils down to preference pf the builder, we both just offer up ideas.

That CPU will work, same with that mobo. Glad we could help. I think we all really enjoy chipping in on these big builds. The EVGA is cheaper, and is a very good PSU, and will be very sufficient for your needs. Have fun with the assembly!
