Please help with first time PC build

As a guy coming from a 8 year old 3,1 MacPro into PCs I need a bit of help evaluating all the different combinations when it comes to building a PC.
I'm woking in CC mainly with After Effects and Premiere. In AE I'm working with Element 3D/optical flares, getting into some C4D.
Premiere mainly with HD and Blackmagic cinema dng & prores. Working with some 4k Red footage. Additional CC applications but After Effects and Premiere are the main concern. Also, hoping to use Resolve, but haven't.
I'm not going to be building it myself, there is a computer place that will be assembling and this was their suggested build with parts that they usually use with workstations along with some of my input from looking online. I think the vast amount of work they do is for gamers, and since I won't be gaming at all I want to make sure this is a solid work machine.
Motherboard : 2011-v3 : ATX : X99S SLI PLUS : MSI
CPU : Intel Core i7 5820K (6 x 4.0 GHz Overclock, 12 x threads)
Case : ATX : No PSU : P70 Silence (Black) : Antec
PSU : 750W : Smart Standard 80 Plus : SP-750PCBUS : Thermaltake
RAM : Desktop DDR4 : 16GB/Kit : PC4-17000 : Crucial
Cooling : CPU : Liquid : 120mm : Kuhler H2O 650 : KuhlerH2O650 : Antec
Video Card : PCI-E : NVIDIA : GTX 970 : 4GB : ZT-90101-10P : Zotac
HD : SSD : 250GB : SATA3 : Samsung 850 EVO (OS, Programs)
HD : HDD : 2TB : SATA : WD2003FZEX Black : Western Digital (media, projects)
HD : SSD : 500GB : SATA3 : BX100 Series : CT500BX100SSD1 : Crucial (media cache, previews, exports)
I have a couple of 500GB 7200 seagate drives that were in my mac pro that I will probably bring over to keep photos, documents and other personal stuff.
I have a 3TB caldigit vr raid that I'm thinking I can connect to the pc via esata
As a potential extra I'm considering a 4TB backup drive where I can copy everything over incase of a drive failure.
I appreciate any input, thanks

Thanks,
I've been reconsidering my build in light of what you said and I'm hoping you could look it over.
PSU - EVGA SuperNOVA 850 - $174.99
CASE - Fractal Design Define R5 - $139.99
I'm still not sure about cooling. The R5 has 2 fans included, on on the back and one of the front. Is that enough or do I need another?
CPU cooler - From what I understand I will still need a fan on the CPU and I've seen the Noctua NH-D15 and Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO on other forums. Thoughts?
I have no experience over clocking so I'm thinking I will just leave the CPU as is. Correct me if I'm wrong but I've heard the 5820 is a better price/performance value than the 5930 so I'm thinking it's worth it to save the $250. Unless this CPU only makes sense if you OC
CPU - i7-5820K Haswell-E 6-Core 3.3GHz- $469.99
Motherboard - Asus 99-A - $334.99
Originally I had the regular Crucial Ram picked out but It looks like the Crucial Ballistix Sport has a higher speed and is on sale for basically the same price. Latency is 15 for the regular and 16 for the ballistix? Is that the right call?
RAM - Crucial 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4 2133 PC4-17000 - $449.99
OR
RAM - Crucial Ballistix Sport 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4 2400 PC4-19200 - $439.99
Video Card - GIGABYTE GV-N970G1 Gaming-4GD GTX 970 - $449.99
System Drive - Samsung 850 Pro 256GB - $194.99 2 of these one for system and another for media cache, previews, and exports.
Am I forgetting anything?
Thanks for taking a look

If your post is correct and you're still running OS X version 10.5.8 (Leopard), then that version of OS X is too old to support Face Time.

Help with first time "controller based" Site Survey

We are moving from autonomous 1242AG to "2500 LAP with 2600 WLC"
I am used to bringing 1 autonomous AP to do my Site Surveys, but now that that I have a LAP, does it mean I need to bring a Wireless Controller with me so that the LAP could join it?
What do you guys do? Bring WLC, LAP and small UPS?
Any ideas would be helpful
Thanks!

Hi,
If you only have a LAP now then also you can convert to autonomous AP and do the site survey and then convert back to Lightweight.
You just need the 2 images.
One autonomous image:k9W7
http://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=284362264&flowid=34154&softwareid=284180979&release=15.2.4-JB4&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=ED&reltype=latest
One lightweight image: k9W8
http://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=284362264&flowid=34154&softwareid=280775090&release=15.2.4-JB4&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=ED&reltype=latest
Site survey is nothing to do with WLC(You can go ahead with Autonomous AP for site survey).
On the same place put the LAP and connect to nearest switch.
WLC push the config to LAP and also manages the RRM feature(Power, Channel....).

Help with first time IPS configuration

I just installed an AIP-SSM module in our ASA 5520 firewall (protecting a school district). I successfully configured it to scan all traffic sent both directions with the following config:
access-list IPS extended permit ip any any
class-map ips-class
match access-list IPS
policy-map ips-policy
class ips-class
ips inline fail-open
no service-policy global_policy global
service-policy ips-policy global
I also configured it to Deny Attacker Inline when RR=75-100. Figured that was a simple configuration to get things started. However, we noticed that some websites were running very slowly after I implemented these settings. What is causing this?
I guess the other option would be to reconfigure to only scan incoming traffic initiated from the outside to help protect the district from incoming attacks. But I thought it would be more responsible of me to configure it to scan both ways to protect external hosts from an attack that a student could initiate from a school computer. Is this really necessary or am I creating headaches for myself?

Thanks for your response. I found DocID 71204 and based on that I modified the IPS config as follows:
access-list IPS permit ip interface outside any
class-map ips-class
match access-list IPS
policy-map ips-policy
class ips-class
ips inline fail-open
service-policy global_policy global (put the default back)
service-policy ips-policy interface outside
But now the IPS doesn't appear to be doing anything, so I must have done something wrong. I modified signatures 2000 and 2004 with an RR=100 so that any incoming pings should be seen as a high-level attack and the incoming IP denied. If I go back to the original config this test works, but not with this config (which according to the Cisco doc should send any incoming traffic initiated from outside to the IPS).

This is driving me crazy!!! Help with first time exporting files from computer to MP3 Pla

Hello All.
I'd REALLY appreciate any guidance here. I bought a USB converter to USB 2. My computer does detect it, but I cannot find it when I go to the sources and go under my computer. All that comes up at that point is the A,C, and D dri'ves. When I go to my computer icon on my desktop it shows Creative Zen as on there. Does anyone have any tips on how to get the USB dri've to come up under sources?
This is so much work to be putting into just getting some music into this player!!!
Thanks so much.

Go to: My Computer/Control Panel/System/Device Manager. Scroll down the Device Manager menu until you see USB devices. If there is a yellow triangle beside one of them, you probably have to update the driver from the install CD that your USB 2 card came with.
Reboot and it should be OK.

Building a hp8673C driver (first time driver builder, coaching appreciated)

I've got a HP8673C Synthesized Signal Generator, communicating with Labview over GPIB-USB-HS cord (Labview 8.6.1 on Windows XP). There is no existing driver, so I am setting out to build one. I have never built a driver before, so here it goes.
What I've done so far:
Downloaded and installed the NI-488.2.3.0 driver.
Watched the NI presentation on the Instrument Driver Development
found the operating manual for the device (link) on the Agilent website.
created an instrument driver project, made an icon, and started testing the codes.
First question: Why does the error query vi have a loop in it? When I query the message on my device ("MG") it returns a 2 digit number error code. "00" is no error, and any non "00" code is an error. When there is an error (say, "20"), then it never stops the loop of the error query (because the return number is not equal to zero). It seems like I should just take the loop out, but I wanted to check why it was there in the first place.
Second question: Using the NI-488.2 Communicator, I query the device "*IDN?". It returns "FR03000000000HZ"; this also resets the HP8673C, and shows the error corresponding to "Invalid HP-IB code" on the device... any ideas what's happening here? Is there something I should be doing to EOS? I don't really understand what the EOI is or what my device requires.
Any help is greatly appreciated. In doing this project, I am hoping to learn more about how Labview works too, so feel free to point out things that I should know in general, especially if I'm missing steps. I hope it helps other first time driver builders too.
Attached is the driver project as it currently stands (mainly so you can check the error query vi if you want to).

The basic approach you are taking is the right one, since there are no existing drivers for that instrument. There are for the 8671, but I don't know how similar those instruments are.
The first thing you have to keep in mind is that the instrument you have is old. Very old.
The second thing you have to keep in mind is that the instrument driver project wizard creates a template based on an instrument that uses the SCPI standard. The instrument you have does not use the SCPI standard. Thus, several things that the template creates will simply not work correctly for the 8673C or won't apply.
With respect to your questions:
The Error Query has a loop since that's what most SCPI-based instruments work. They will have an error queue, and querying for an error will return the first error in the queue. You then repeatedly query the queue to get the next error until you get the response of "+0, No Error".
The *IDN? query is a SCPI standard. Your instrument does not support SCPI, so it does not know what that command even is. Instruments from that era had commands which were two or three characters long.
The Initialize VI performs an ID query (which you would need to chage to reflect the 8673's actual command and response) and then performs a reset or default setup. The Reset VI sends the *RST command, which, again, is a SCPI command. You would need to change this to the appropriate reset command for the 8673. A quick look at the table of commands seems to indicate it's probably the "IP" command. The default setup just sends REN which is remote enable. I think the 8673 should be OK with this, but you'd need to confirm it by looking at the manual. But then maybe you want the "IP" command here instead.
What I would suggest doing is to make things simple by creating individual VIs for each command that you are likely to use. This will allow you to test things one at a time, building up a usable library.

Can anyone please help? Every time I start up my imac OSX 10.6 desktop my Aperture 3 programme opens up without being requested. Is it possible to stop this from happening and only open by using the desktop icon? Thank you for any assistance.

Best regards, John.

because there is absolutely no mention in my System Preferences of either Users & Groups nor Start Up Items.
John,
William's solution was much easier - just for completeness sake: The preferences panes to edit your startup items moved between the Mac OS X updates: I forgot that the "Users&Groups" preference pane used to be called "Users" in Mac OS X 10.6; it is the panel that you use to create new User accounts; and earlier systems had a separate preferences panel "Login" to enable and to disable the applications that are launched at login. Both are now combined in "Users&Groups". Sorry for sending you on a wild goose chase with the wrong Preferences panel.

Problems with first time setup

Hi to all and please be kind to this new applee. I am vary familar with Windows but not Apple.
I am having problems with first time setup. Choice wifi network ZAJ34 has full connectino bars but requires a password to connect with it. Tried to use "Connect to iTunes" and plugged in the USB cable. Windows7 ran ok and "MyComputer\Apple iPod" shows up in Explorer. All I get to is the screen that shows the cable pointing to the music symbol. I am new to Applie iPod so I am totally lost. I have the Apple iPod touch 8GB Black (4th Generation) CURRENT MODEL.
Operating System - iPod touch User Guide (For iOS 5.1 Software) downloaded, not sure.
Thanks

I find this,
Before restoring:
Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes. [How? I am not past selecting a network.]
Back up your device. [Do not know how, again, I am not past selecting a network.]
Transfer and sync content to your computer. [Hooked up the USB cable and nothing happens.]
Restoring your iOS device
Connect your device to your computer. [Hooked up the USB cable and nothing happens.]
Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices. Select the Summary tab, and click the Restore button. [iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices, is it in Control Panel. I looked in Device Manager and so only drivers etc.

Please help with slideshow problems!

Am using Photoshop Elements 8 and trying to make a slideshow. Have tried 4 times now and keep ending up with same problem, cannot reopen project to continue edititing. Won't show up in orginizer and when I find on harddrive and try to open get message " wmv file cannot be opened". How can I save a
slideshow inprogress and be able to reopen and continue to edit and make slideshow? I want to thank anyone who can help me with this in advance as I
have gotten so frustrated that I want to just scream.
Thanks

Thanks for the help, thought I had done so but maybe not. Anyway will have another go at it, now may I ask another
question? I am trying to add audio to slideshow. I have some music I purchased thru amazon as mp3 files but I get
message no codec and when I try to add wmv I get same message. What type of file do I need and how can I add
multiple songs to one slideshow. I have one little wmv file that will go in, but it just replicates itself multiple times until
it fills slide show.
Thanks again, sorry to be a bother, but this thing is driving this old man crazy.

Subject: Please help with slideshow problems!
You need to save the slideshow project in order to be able to go back later and make changes or additions to an existing slideshow . The wmv file is a final output format.
Now you are most probably using only the Output command: that is what makes the wmv file.
You should also do the Save Project command. (and I make it a practice to do the Save Project command before I do the Output command).
If you look at the Elements Organizer 8 Help, there is a topic on "Create a slide show".
-- Very close to the beginning of that topic is a screen shot of the Sldie Show Editor screen,
-- The bar below the usual menu bar is labeled with a "B" and called the Shortcuts bar.
-- The 1st entry on that Shortcuts bar is "Save Project"
It is the Save Project command that saves the information about which photos, audio, etc you placed in that specific slide show so that you can come back again to do subsequent editing. Save each Project with a unique name.
After completing the Save Project command, you shoud see an "icon" in the Organizer for that slide show.
Note: you must also keep the photo files and audio files which you have used in this slide show: you can't delete them because the project file does NOT contain a copy of the photos, it only has the identification and folder location of the photo and audio files.

HT5824 I switched over from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S3 & I haven't been able to receive any text messages from iPhones. Please help with turning my iMessage completely off..

I switched over from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S3 & I haven't been able to receive any text messages from iPhones. I have no problem sending the text messages but I'm not receivng any from iPhones at all. It has been about a week now that I'm having this problem. I've already tried fixing it myself and I also went into the sprint store, they tried everything as well. My last option was to contact Apple directly. Please help with turning my iMessage completely off so that I can receive my texts.

If you registered your iPhone with Apple using a support profile, try going to https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do and unregistering it. Also, try changing the password associated with the Apple ID that you were using for iMessage.

Please help with the message I am receving on startup ""You can't open the application NovamediaDiskSupressor because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."
I have read some of the replies in the Apple Support Communities, but as I am no techie, I would have no idea how I would implement that solution.
Please help with what I need to type, how, where, etc.
Many thanks

I am afraid there is no solution.
PowerPC refers to the processing chip used by Apple before they transferred to Intel chips. They are very different, and applications written only for PPC Macs cannot work on a Mac running Lion.
You could contact the developers to see if they have an updated version in the pipeline.

[ETL]Could you please help with a problem accessing UML stereotype attributes ?

Hi all,
Could you please help with a problem accessing UML stereotype attributes and their values ?
Here is the description :
-I created a UML model with Papyrus tool and I applied MARTE profile to this UML model.
-Then, I applied <<PaStep>> stereotype to an AcceptEventAction ( which is one of the element that I created in this model ), and set the extOpDemand property of the stereotype to 2.7 with Papyrus.
-Now In the ETL file, I can find the stereotype property of extOpDemand as follows :
s.attribute.selectOne(a|a.name="extOpDemand") , where s is a variable of type Stereotype.
-However I can't access the value 2.7 of the extOpDemand attribute of the <<PaStep>> Stereotype. How do I do that ?
Please help
Thank you

Hi Dimitris,
Thank you , a minimal example is provided now.

Instructions for reproducing the problem :
1-Run the uml2etl.etl transformation with the supplied launch configuration.
2-Open lqn.model.
There are two folders inside MinimalExample folder, the one which is called MinimalExample has 4 files, model.uml , lqn.model, uml2lqn.etl and MinimalExampleTransformation.launch.
The other folder which is LQN has four files. (.project),LQN.emf,LQN.ecore and untitled.model which is an example model conforming to the LQN metamodel to see how the model looks like.
