High end custom pc help!

[draken413o]

Hello everyone! I'm new to the forums and pretty much a total newbie in computer building but I need to build up a new pc for my work.

The basis and requirement for my pc would be to handle very large photoshop files can be as large as 15gb or more sometimes and also have large storage capabilities.

I've asked around for pc specs and what should I get for the components.

casing : C.M HAF 912 ADVANCE USB3.0 CASE
Motherboard (Standard) : Asus Sabertooth Z97
Central Processing Unit (Desktop) : Intel i7 4790 Processor (Quad Core) (8MB Cache 3.6-4.0 GHZ)
Thermal Compound : IC Diamond Thermal Compound CPU + GPU
Cooling System : Standard Stock Fan Cooling (CPU)
Random Access Memory (RAM) (Desktop) : G.SKILL RIPJAWS-X 2400MHZ ( 8GBx4pcs ) CL11
M.2 SSD Bay (PCIE 2X/4X) : 512GB Plextor PCI Express M2 SSD
Graphics Card (Desktop) : MSI GTX 970 4GB Gaming O.C
Hard Drive (Desktop) : SAMSUNG EVO 850 500GB SSD
Second Hard Drive (Desktop) : TOSHIBA 4TB 3.5 INCH HDD (Buffer Size 128MB)
Operating System (Desktop) : Windows 8.1 64 Bit
Chassis Fans : Noctua fans
External Optical Disk Drive : External CD/DVD RW Drive
power supply : SEASONIC X SERIES 750W

I'm not even sure if these parts can work well together or if I will get complications (which I surely would not know how to solve)

My budget is currently about $3000 sgd but if a component is much better and cost abit more I dont mind considering it.

Also, I would like to know of any shops that will be able to do such a system and preferably build it for me.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! thank you everyone!

As for mobo H97 should be okay... And would recommend use other cooler... Not stock...

components looks good...
m.2 for main os drive, ssd for scratch drive...
32gb should be the minimum when doing photo/video editing stuffs...

here's mine rederring a 3 mins after effects video....

Ok so when you say "m.2 for main os drive, ssd for scratch drive..." do I need to change anything to the list? Sorry for asking this as Im not too sure what is the m.2 actually..

you need to find mobo that support m.2... and m.2 is same like others SSD but more faster in smaller form factor.... read this:

m.2 is generally a pcie based storage, there are two supported connections
m.2 pcie and m.2 ssd, pcie version is faster...
don't think your motherboard supports m.2 internally so you'll be using a pcie
card...
setup looks ok...

oh ok! so would this be a better option than getting a motherboard that can use pcie?

Am i right to say the m.2 is a card that lets you get better speed with your ssd? Or am I just totally wrong and that the m.2 is actually an ssd itself?

 

[ondooy]

should be fine...

ok great! Thanks for the help!

i suggest since you have the budget, drop the HAF 912 advanced case. I have used it before and the design is dated.

Just bought a Corsair 750D casing, very happy with it. consider that. Cheers
