New PC build parts check list for compatibilty
Hello,
I'm building a new computer for my daughter for small scale film editing and animation. She is a student so this is for homework and hobby.
Here is my list of parts and I'd like for you more experienced builders to give it a once over and let me know if you see any possible problems with the collection, make any suggestions for better or more compatible parts etc. One note, this computer will sit in her room and use our WIFI service to connect to the internet.
Here goes;
OS: Windows 7 Pro SP1 64Bit
CPU: Intel i7 5820K
CPU COOLER #1: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
OR if I could be sure it would fit with the wide graphics card…
CPU COOLER #2: Noctua NH-D14 SE2011 (most reviewers prefer this cooler for the i7’s, but I think it will block my #1Pci slot and since I’m only using one card and the i7 5820K CPU, I want to put my card in the first slot)
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-X99-UD5 WIFI
(I was originally looking at the MSI X99S SLI Plus board, but I need for this system to be WIFI enabled and this board is not.)
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 850 Gold
Main Drive, SSD: Samsung 850 Pro 512GB (for OS, MS Office basic, a few small programs and she'll be using CS6 Creative Cloud, not the installed software suite, for her editing and drawing work )
HDD: WD Black 3TB (for storage etc.)
GPU: EVGA GTX 970 Superclocked
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws 4 Series 4x4 kit (they are only 40mm tall and will fit under the Noctua if that cooler can fit with my GPU)
OPTICAL: Samsung CD/DVD Writer (1 drive)
CASE: Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced (I’ve used this case and it’s easy to build in and keeps things cool)
MONITOR: Wacom Cintiq 13 Pen Display - Graphics Monitor with Digital Pen
MS keyboard and mouse
That's it! Any comments would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Best,
Ana

Thanks for the tip on the RAM Nobus!
no problem - glad to help

I'm glad to hear about your use experience with the i5. My list is a little on the steep side in price so it's nice to know that I have a workable fall back option for a smaller system if necessary.
Thanks again,
Ana
