My First Build

[Juan Alvarez]

Hi, I am looking for feedback on this build. I am mainly going to use it 75% Photshop Digital Painting with Wacom 13HD / Nightly Rendering and Gaming on my Free time.

CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor ($324.99 @ NCIX US)
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($92.99 @ NCIX US)
Motherboard: Asus MAXIMUS VI FORMULA ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($309.47 @ Newegg)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance Pro 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR3-2133 Memory ($342.65 @ Amazon)
Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB 2.5" Solid State Disk ($178.99 @ NCIX US)
Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB 2.5" Solid State Disk ($178.99 @ NCIX US)
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 760 4GB Video Card (2-Way SLI) ($309.99 @ Amazon)
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 760 4GB Video Card (2-Way SLI) ($309.99 @ Amazon)
Case: Cooler Master HAF X ATX Full Tower Case ($179.99 @ NCIX US)
Power Supply: Thermaltake TR2 1000W 80 PLUS Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply ($171.98 @ SuperBiiz)
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer ($14.98 @ Outlet PC)
Other: Cintiq 13HD ($999.99)
Total: $3415.00

The Power Supply ?I already have it, I just put the model just to make sure. I already own all peripherals by Razer and LG IPS Screens 23.6''

Budget is Max 2500$ which should include CPU. RAM 32GB, GPU , Motherboard, Main SSD with Raid 1 copy, Case Full Tower ( In case I'll go liquid cooling in the future I can re-use the case ), CPU Cooler and Optical Drive to Install OS.

For the GPU: I will need to Connect 2 x LG IPS 1080p Screens + Wacom Cintiq 13D. I will run them in extended mode on all displays. If is possible I can only buy from vendors that accept International CC as I do not own a American Card and Newegg won't work.

for Motherboards: I have not decided between the Asus Maximus VI Hero ATX LGA1150 Motherboard or Asus MAXIMUS VI FORMULA ATX LGA1150.

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR3-2133 Memory or Corsair Vengeance Pro 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR3-2133 Memory, what is the main difference between those? Corsair lists the PRO series as a tier better than the not pro but can't find any comparison around the web.

Thanks in advance. This build is set to be bought Saturday the 31st. So any feedback until then to make it better is appreciated.

Either motherboard will fit your needs, just choose the one with the features that you like the most, you cannot go wrong with either of them.

I wouldn't really recommend the HAF X. - I had it for a long time and while it was a nice case it, I came to realized how over rated it was. If you want to do custom liquid cooling I would suggest a 900D.

Go with the Corsair Vengeance Pro 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR3-2133 Memory or G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133
