PC build for interior desigh work

[Seldt]

Hi there ,
I seek the advice of wise 3d people who have been in the interior 3d rendering field. I am building a good PC for modeling and rendering (most of all) and animation ( I am an animator). So will need to install Maya 2015, Max 2015 Vray renderer, try Fry Renderer, use After Effects CS 4, Photoshop and Z brush. Will try make a Descent PC workstation for 1500 euro and ship it from Germany. so far I choose those parts:

CPU Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core €312.28
CPU Cooler Arctic Cooling ACFZI30 74.0 CFM Fluid Dynamic Bearing €32.90
Motherboard Asus Z97-DELUXE ATX LGA1150 €289.82
Memory Corsair Dominator Platinum 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 €379.98
Storage Samsung 840 Pro Series 256GB 2.5" SSD €168.00
Western Digital RE4 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM €84.95
Video Card EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB Superclocked ACX 2.0
Power Supply Corsair 860W ATX12V / EPS12V €157.90
Thank you , I hope you can help me out.
Total: €1425.83


love
Stacy

CPU Cooler - Fan issues with those Arctic Coolers... Look toward the Hyper 212 EVO, or step up to the Notcua NH-D15.
MB - Nice and all, but overkill. The ASUS Z97-A will be perfectly fine unless you will have more than four SATA devices.
MEM - The Dominator modules have tall heat spreaders which just aren't necessary. Look toward the GSKILL ARES modules with the same specs (DDR3-1866 CL9 1.5v). They are more low profile and won't interfere with aftermarket CPU coolers.
SSD - Nice and all, but its big brother is available. Check out the Samsung 850 Pro.
HD - The WD Red drives are meant for NAS setups. A typical WD Blue or Seagate drive is perfectly fine. After all, your SSD will be handling the majority of the work.
PSU - 860w is a LOT for a single GPU system. If you are planning to add a second GTX 970 down the road, then you are good with a 750w / 850w unit. Otherwise, a quality 550w unit is more than enough. Look first toward XFX or Seasonic, then Antec or EVGA, then look toward Corsair.

Thank you for your awesome reply sadams04,
I will look further in to the parts you have outlined as being more suitable. As a side note, those parts were not picked by myself but a person who had been working as a CG interior artist for quite a while and I do not have a clue of what I should get and what not to. So again I will look in to the newly pointed out specs and consult with my friends so the end configuration would be a happy medium price and performance balance.

kind regards

Stacy
