New Build PC

[Kevin-UK]

Hi All

Looking for a bit of advice, I am looking into rebuilding my PC for Photoshop, Lightroom, CAD, Films, Office Applications. It will not be for gaming. I am using SSD and HDD drives from my old PC. So looking to upgrade the following to.

Motherboard: ASRock Z97 Extreme9.
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz.
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleve Bearing CPU Cooler.
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 960 4GB FTW ACX 2.0+
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws Z Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory
Case: Corsair 750D ATX Full Tower Case

Do the specs look OK! Any thoughts and recommendation for a PSU.

Thank you

Kevin

A good quality PSU for your build is the EVGA SuperNOVA GS 550W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply. Your build is solid for your needs.

The 6 core/12 thread i7 would be better suited for your needs as would the quad channel ddr4 RAM



The EVGA GS psu MystoPigz recommended is great as would any 550-650w Seasonic, XFX, or Antec unit would be.

About £1200.00, haven't decided! Since the replies from the chaps above I have been looking into other options.

Intel Core i7-5930K 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor
Corsair H105 73.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
ASRock X99 Extreme6 ATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard
Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory
EVGA GeForce GTX 960 4GB FTW ACX 2.0+ Video Card
Corsair 760T Black ATX Full Tower Case
EVGA SuperNOVA GS 550W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply

Still undecided about cases!
