Thoughts before I pull the trigger and buy this computer build?

Hi guys,
Before I pull the trigger, I would like some thoughts on this build. I'm going to get a few SSD drives on top of this list, but I am not listing them here, as I'm just trying to show the main components I'm after. Using for Adobe and Blender 3D (movie editing rig, vfx, etc...)
$150 COOLER MASTER HAF 932 Advanced RC-932-KKN5-GP Steel Computer Case
$70 Noctua NH-U14S 140x150x25 ( NF-A15 PWM) SSO2-Bearing ( Self-stabilising oil-presure bearing ) CPU Cooler Item #:N82E16835608041
$660 G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 series 32GB (8 x 4GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2800 (PC4-22400) Desktop Memory
$140 Microsoft Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit
$390 Intel Core i7-5820K 3.3GHz LGA 2011-v3 Desktop Processor
$200 EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 P2 220-P2-1000-XR 1000W Power Supply
$285 ASRock Fatal1ty X99X Killer ATX Intel Motherboard
$700 for two GTX 970 video cards
1) Is anything overkill?
2) Is anything underkill?
3) Any incompatible things I've researched?
4) Anything I've missed?
5) 32gb 2800mhz ram is about the same as 16gb 3200mhz ram, what to pick?
Thanks!
Mr D

1) Is anything overkill? yes, get a single GTX 980 instead of the dual 970's
See my above reply. Let me know if you think i'm still in "overkill", seeing what I've been told on Blender forums are contrary.
2) Is anything underkill? yes, go with a 6 or 8-core for a Premiere Pro x99 build; if that is too expensive, get a earlier gen x79 6-core with much less $$$ DDR3 memory
The processor is a 6 core, is it not? Did I show you the wrong one? Let me know!
3) Any incompatible things I've researched? nope, you're good there
4) Anything I've missed? DVD or Blu-ray burner?
I have a Blu ray drive already.
5) 32gb 2800mhz ram is about the same as 16gb 3200mhz ram, what to pick? Definitely go with 32GB; this will help lots more than speed
Sounds good!
Thanks!

  • Ok..pulled the trigger and bought it...now an import problem

    I can't seem to import my video files which are MTS files from a Panasonic TM900 camera.  What I did was create a folder on my desktop of the videos.  As someone on the boards mentioned, I tried the Import from Archive suggestion - I get an error message stating none of the files can be imported.  Anyone else with a Panasonic TM900 or other .MTS file users with other suggestions?
    Thanks.
    Steve
    P.S. - I also just did the FCP X update and tried it before and after with same results.

    Hi Tom - new to this camera but here is a screen shot of a folder with the clips - I believe this is the metadata folder but if I need to get ClipWrap, I will.

  • I finished adding my transtions to my timeline.  I was having crashing issues so I shut down everything before I rendered the project and now it tells me that the project is unreadable or the file is too new for this version of final cut. What Happened?

    What Happened?
    No way for us to know.  But if your system was crashing, there definitely was a problem.  The FCE error message you got normally indicates the FCE project file has been corrupted.  This probably happened due to whatever caused your system to crash & shutting down the system.
    First, make sure your system is running correctly.  Then, use the Finder to navigate to /users/yourusername/Documents/Final Cut Express Documents/Autosave Vault and find the most recent backup copy of your FCE project file.  Copy the file to your Final Cut Express Documents folder (copy the file, don't just move it).  Then double-click the copy to open it in FCE.  It should open ok, but will probably not have your most recent edits (transitions).  You may have to rebuild the transitions, but at least you will be back in action.

    Verizon is using the Elipsis tablets to steal data from their customers.  The only way to stop data from registering as cellular data is to pull the SIM card.  This occurs with wifi enabled and cellular,dara disabled.  If,you take your tablet to a Verizonstore they will upgrade your data plan to cover the overage and credit the upgrade.  You will then have to remember to downgrade your plan or continue to pay for more data.  Verizon, how would you feel if I walked into one of your stores and started filling my pockets with merchandise?  If cought can I just give the product back and say "oops, sorry"

    Today, my FCC complaint hit the same person working on the BBB complaint.  Jimmie has been very nice and seems willing to work with this problem.  We have been able to come to an agreement.  I paid the purchase price for the phone and he returned my upgrade and unlimited data plan.  This is what would have occurred if Verizon had given me correct information to begin with.  I am happy with this result.  He also brought quite a few instances concerning the handling of my transfer and upgrade that did not follow proper procedure.  I am also confident that I would not have resolved this without complaining to BBB and or FCC.  Verizon had no interest in solving the problem nor did they show any propensity to keeping a 20 year client.  Even though this last CSR was very polite and helpful, his sole job is to respond to formal Federal and State complaints.  He is required by law to address every complaint and report the reporting agency the agreed upon results - good or bad.  Again, I suggest - If you are not getting the proper customer service, complain to someone outside of Verizon.  Jimmie had not received any complaints registered with Verizon directly and I still have not had any contact with any other management representative that I was told would call.

  • HT1711 Why do I have to pay extra for something that I already bought? Shouldn't I be able to have access to my music even if its not through apple? This is ridiculous when I go to the store and buy a CD I'm not relegated to only playing it on one CD play

    iTunes Plus is the name for the option in iTunes that allows customers to buy music at the iTunes Store that is free from digital rights management, or DRM.
    Digital Rights Management, or DRM, is designed to prevent unauthorized sharing of files. This especially became a big concern for the music industry after the rise of Napster, Limewire, and Kazaa.
    DRM, even the DRM used by Apple on iTunes Store content, prevented that. Apple's DRM allowed users to share files on only up to 5 computers.
    According to TUAW, the new iTunes Plus songs have information embedded in them that identifies the user who bought and shared them by name.
    This means that if you share your music and record companies want to track you down and sue for you copyright infringement, it's going to be easy.
    This may help you understand why you would need iTunes Plus - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1711.
    It may be that Android required that type of file to be able to let it sync.  See here - http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html.

  • Include or create a view in the database and use this view?

    Well, I need to get related data of the main table from another related tables, so one way to do that is to use the Include method in Entity Framework to get this related data.
    However, I am thinking in another option, create a view in the database and use this view in entity framework. In this way, I avoid the needed of the include, because I think that is expensive in resources. But I am no very sure about that.
    I would like to know if the use of views on entity framework is a good idea to improve the performace or is better to use the include.
    For example, if I use the include I have the advantage that I get only one the main record and all the related data I have in the navigation properties, so the info is more shorted.
    Which is the advanteges and disadvantages of both methods to get related data in entity framework?
    Thank so much.

    Hello ComptonAlvaro,
    >>I would like to know if the use of views on entity framework is a good idea to improve the performace or is better to use the include.
    If your view would use a Join syntax to query master-child relationship tables, it actually is similar with the Include() method which actually results a duplicate records from master table, you could check this
    link for detail description.
    >>Which is the advanteges and disadvantages of both methods to get related data in entity framework?
    One visible difference is that records from Views are not editable by default(if you want edit them, you could refer to this
    blog).
    In your case, my suggestion that you could use the lazying load which will load the matter table once and disable the trace if you only need to display data.

    If a small number of your iTunes purchases are affected, delete and redownload them if doing so is free in your country. If you get that message for every item, click here and follow the instructions.

    You will need to restore your phone as a new one using the itunes on your computer.  This WILL erase everything on the phone but it will let you change the name of the phone and then you can add content to it.

    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart

    Thanks for your help in advance!

    If the computer shipped with Snow Leopard then you would have received an install DVD for iLife with the computer.

    Hi sarahlovebell21,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you see the "connect to iTunes" screen on your iPhone, that means its in Recovery Mode and needs to be restored.
    You can find more information and steps to restore your iPhone here:
