Hello, first time building a desktop! I have run through this build a few times with more experienced people and they have given me a green light but would like to confirm here as well.
Before anything, here is what I am going to be doing with this setup:
1. oclHashcat
2. Gaming (GTA5 and similar)
3. 4k video editing/picture editing
4. Average uses (YouTube, 4k video watching, etc)
5. Hosting small personal servers in a VM for streaming/SSH access, etc.
Other notes:
1. I have an absolute MAX budget of $3,000
-Also need to buy a monitor.
2. Primary OS will be Windows 10
3. I may buy some non-critical components used from eBay/Amazon or similar
Part List:
Case: Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX http://www.phanteks.com/Enthoo-Evolv-ATX.html
Motherboard: ASUS Z170-A https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/Z170-A/
Processor: Intel Core i7-6700K http://ark.intel.com/products/88195/Inte...o-4_20-GHz
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO http://www.coolermaster.com/cooling/cpu-...r-212-evo/
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1080 Founder's Edition http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-...e-gtx-1080
RAM: 32GB G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 3200 http://www.gskill.com/en/product/f4-3200c16d-32gvk
SSD: 512GB Samsung 950 Pro M.2 http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/memor...Z-V5P512BW
HDD: 2TB Seagate Barracuda 3.5"
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 750 Gold 80+ http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.asp...G2-0750-XR
Semi-Complete Build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/pDQBD8
Questions:
1. Are there any alternative/better/cheaper parts you'd recommend?
2. Am I safe buying reference design cards for both hashcat and some gaming/video editing?
3. The case I'm buying has 3 fans, 2 intake in the front, one output in the back. There is room for either a CPU watercooler or 3 120mm fans or 2 140mm fans at the top, should I add these in too?
4. Am I safe using a cheap CPU cooler if I plan on overclocking this CPU and using it for rather processor intensive stuff?
Thanks!
