Advice on PC build for Octane
Posted: Sat Nov 12, 2016 11:16 pm
Hi everyone!
I'm a graphic designer finally making the switch from a MacBook Pro to a custom PC build.
I will be using the pc for After Effects, Premiere, Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, C4D and Octane.
As I am new to building PC's I've been advised on a setup in my price range $1600~.
Would this be a good setup for me?
Would a Geforce GTX 1080 be worth the extra money, or will the 1070 do fine?
CPU: Intel Core i7-6800K 3.4GHz 6-Core Processor ($428.99 @ SuperBiiz)
CPU Cooler: Scythe Mugen 4 79.0 CFM CPU Cooler ($45.89 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: MSI X99A Raider ATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard ($177.98 @ Newegg)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-3000 Memory ($185.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Crucial MX300 525GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($124.87 @ NCIX US)
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Founders Edition Video Card ($433.99 @ B&H)
Case: Fractal Design Define S ATX Mid Tower Case ($59.99 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: Corsair RMx 550W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($96.90 @ B&H)
Total: $1554.60 PCPartPicker part list
I hope someone can advice me, thanks in advance!
