Hi guys I need advise from experts here.
I wana setup a rig for my work, 3d modeling/rendering and developing 3d games.

Program use for modeling and rendering
>>
Maya
Zbrush
Keyshot

Program use for developing games
>>
Unity3d
Substance Designer

Items that I wanted to get
Motherboard CPU >> Asrock z97 Extreme4 - i7 4790
SSD >> Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SATA3
Memory >> G.SKILL RIPJAWS-X 2133MHZ ( 8GBx2pcs ) CL10 x 2 sets so total is 32GB
GPU >> POWER COLOR R9 290X

Reuse my old rig
PSU >> Cooler Master Real Power M620
Case >> Cooler Master CM 690


A couple of questions i need to ask before getting those stuff.
1) Are the above setup able to fit into my old case?
2) Do I need to get cpu cooler fan or it has by default? If not which cooler fan do you guys recommend?
3) Does my old PSU able to support all these rigs?
4) How is the overall setup? Will I be able to work smoothly? Did I miss out anything?


Will appreciate your help guys :)

1) Yes, CM690 case quite big. If u not sure just google for reviews ba, most of the reviews will tell u about the CPU height cleareance, GPU length clearance etc.

2) By default it has a CPU cooler fan already.

3) Advise to change PSU. CoolerMaster PSU have quite bad reputation. And also that PSU capacitors do suffer from wear-and-tear over the years, so buying a good PSU from a more reputable brand (e.g. Superflower Leadex or Seasonic X series) would be better in the long run.

4) Since u not overclocking, RAM just get 8GB x4 sticks will do. ValueRAM will do the trick, no need to buy fanciful RAMs unless for pure aesthetics reasons. And looking at your 3D programs, having a card that has CUDA is better, so keeping to that price range, a Leadtek Quadro K620 might be more suitable for u, since that card allows for both CUDA and OpenCL GPU acceleration for the programs u are using.
