Upgrade/New PC June 2016 - High Budget

[Charnelfire]

Hello to everyone.

I'm upgrading my current system(i7 4770k -with Cooler Scythe Ashura- 32GB DDR3, 1 x GTX 980 TI, GIGABYTE Z97X-Gaming 5 motherboard).

Ideally, I am looking to get: Intel Haswell-E, Core i7 5930K 3.5GHz, 4 x HyperX Fury Black 16GB DDR4 2133MHz CL14 (64GB RAM total), 1 x GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 980 Ti G1 GAMING 6GB DDR5 384-bit (2 x 980ti total), Corsair RMx Series RM1000x 1000W PSU and MSI X99A GAMING 9 ACK motherboard. -I copy-pasted their full name so people see the exact model of the product.

*I chose the MSI X99A GAMING 9 ACK motherboard if I decide to upgrade later on, for the 128GB memory support.*

My current case is http://www.amazon.com/CM-Storm-Stryker-Computer-Carrying/dp/B00BCXF6JE and on two 4K monitors: Philips BDM4065UC and Philips BDM4350UC. I already own the first one.

Notes:
Now this will be mostly (95%) for graphic design, motion graphics, 3D animations and rendering. I will be working mostly with Premiere, After Effects, 4D Cinema (V-Ray and/or OctaneRender) and a few others, like Maya or zBrush.

I would need to know if there will be compatibility issues with the system I'm looking to get. I'm trying to stay away from overclocking anything. Any input, recommendation or advice is highly appreciated, I might not have chosen the perfect components for what I'm doing, that's why i'm looking for advice. The system I'm looking to get costs roughly $3500, with the monitor included, (converted from my country's currency)

I am willing to go an extra mile for 128GB RAM but I believe it would be overkill for now or the CPU will not support it. Amazon links for purchasing are useless since they either don't ship in my country or the transport taxes are insane. The websites I will be purchasing everything is http://www.pcgarage.ro or http://www.emag.ro


For experts that work with 4D Cinema and After Effects, I am looking to get the best out of it, I am rendering almost all the time. I do know about Quadro GPUs and how good they are, but after reading and watching a lot of forums/videos, people highly recommended the 980TI (performance/price) to be the best choice for graphic design/video rendering for now - that's why I purchased one, it didn't let me down and now looking to get a 2nd one.


Again, any recommendation, input or advice is tremendously appreciated. Ask me anything if needed, I might have forgotten to add some things.

Thank you!

As a personal owner of a GTX 980 Ti G1, I can agree that the 980 Ti has some fantastic value. I do agree that 128 GB would be overkill, and honestly I think 64 GB is a great amount for what you're doing. Depending on how urgent this PC is, I urge you to wait for Intel's new Broadwell-E series, which is supposedly more powerful than the Haswell-E Platform. The 5930k will fit your needs, as it has more pcie bandwith for SLI, and as a previous -930k SKU (X79) user, editing on them is a breeze. Everything should be compatible. Overall a very powerful editing and rendering platform.
EDIT: Your Case will have some trouble handling EATX Motherboards. I will look into some platforms that support memory in a smaller standard. This board should have the feature set you're looking for. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-gax99gaming5
However, I'm not sure if it is available in those stores you listed. After navigating the second site, I found a very good board from ASUS here: http://www.emag.ro/placa-de-baza-asus-socket-2011-v3-sabertooth-x99/pd/DCJSZMBBM/ , but it only supports up to 64 GB. Personally, I dont see a scenario where you'd need 128 GB of RAM, except in servers, and 64 GB should be more than enough for editing.

Looks pretty good to me. Though with computex right around the corner you might want to see if anything that launches then interests you.

I forgot to mention that the Ashura cooler I have has 2 x Scythe GlideStream 140mm attached to it for better ventilation. Should I switch to liquid cooling ?

I don't think there will be enough space with the Ashura coolers and 8 slots of RAM mounted.

You don't need liquid cooling unless you just want it. I don't know the size of the ashura cooler but there are several air coolers that should fit.

For water I would suggest Swiftech's H220X

For air something like the noctua d14 or even the CM 212 Evo should work with most RAM.

Thank you.

I will wait to see how things advance. I might wait until GTX 1070/1080 launches in my country, see if it's worth upgrading.
