If it's worth 100 bucks I'll do it. I'm not really concerned with how loud it is. Tbh the louder the better but I want it to last. Any thoughts or opinions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for you time. |

it's a good idea to build on X99 for the type of work you want to do on it, and game. i would suggest increasing your ram to 32GB (rendering chews up ram). the I7-5820K did really well in 3DS Max and AutoCad when it was up against Xeons. you should consider choosing a WD Black hdd for quality. the Aventum case is really designed for whole system water cooling. you might be better served with a Velox case, as it pairs excellently with the Strix vid cards air cooling design, and is a much cheaper option.
