New PC build.
So after careful study, I feel that for what I do best a PC would be best suitable for both my wallet and performance requirements. I basically want to start composing scores for film and video; all while being able to edit video and create small animations. So I opted for an Intel 6-core, which in a Mac Pro would destroy my entire budget. Thus my final build specifications would be:
Intel i7 4930k 6-core processor @ 3.4GHz
ASUS P9X79WS LGA 2011 motherboard
32Gb DDR3 1600 RAM
ASUS GTX 780 3GB Nvidia graphics card
Corsair HX850 850W power supply
Samsung EVO 840 500GB SSD
I plan on adding more internal hard drives for excessive storage along with the possibility of either a Quadro K2000 to enable true 10-bit color depth or another GTX 780 in SLI for 6GB VRAM and double CUDA cores. However, all of this would be neatly placed into a Cooler Master HAF X case:
I only chose this case due to the fact that it allows for maximum air flow, and being that this system will be air cooled, I felt it made the most sense.
There we have it, can't wait!
