Hello!
I've decided to build a dedicated Octane Slave with four 1080ti Hybrids in a Thermaltake Core X9 case. I will only be using this for Octane rendering - not as a workstation, and so I am hoping to save component costs as much as possible with that in mind. I also want the ability to expand as my current project and budget progresses.
I've never built anything beyond a dual GPU workstation before so this a new process for me. Below is my current parts list for the build. Does anyone have any advice or see any red flags or areas where I could improve / save costs?
CASE - Thermaltake Core X9
MOBO - EVGA X99 FTW LGA 2011-v3
CPU - Intel Core i7-6850K 6-Core Processor
CPU COOLER - Corsair H100i v2 Liquid CPU Cooler
GPU - 4x EVGA 1080 Ti SC2 Hybrid
PSU - EVGA - SuperNOVA G2 1600W 80+ Gold
RAM - 32GB (2x16) Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR4
HD - 275GB Crucial SSD (OS) + 4TB Seagate BarraCuda Sata III (for storing image renders synced with Dropbox)
OS - Windows 10 (or Win7 if I need access to more vram)
I would appreciate any thoughts here, thanks!
