[3D Rendering Machine] Build for a friend. (ModzFM)

[ModzFM]

Overall Idea;
Here are the specs for my friends first PC. He contact me a few months ago regarding me building him a PC since he wanted one for 3D rendering as well as playing games. The build took a few months and I was really happy to be doing it for him. He decided to buy a few parts each month as that's all his budget permitted him to do. So roughly the build took 6 months to complete due to the delay of the parts. Otherwise it took around 10+ hours of labour to be complete to a standard I was happy with.

Specifications;
CPU; Intel Core i7 7700 3.6GHz
CPU Cooler; Corsair Hydro H60 V2
Motherboard; Asus Pro Gaming B250
RAM; Corsair Vengance 16GB (2x 8GB) DDR4 2666+ MHz RGB
GPU; EVGA GTX Titan X Maxwell
PSU; EVGA 600w Platinum
OS Drive; Kingston 240GB SSD
Additional Drive; 500GB WD Black
Case; Corsair 350D

I wanted to keep the build as high quality and budget friendly as I could.

Well he wanted a 1070. But from what I managed to read up the Titan X was the better option. He didn't have the biggest budget so I couldn't exactly make it into a monster.

Also it's none overclockable because it's his first PC so he won't be going anywhere near overclocking it.

Around the time Ryzen 7 was only just coming onto the market and neither myself or my friend was that bothered about it. No however I am planning a Ryzen 7 1700x build or perhaps threadripper for a personal build.

Build was around 10 hours because of stress testing and such. Plus I wanted to make sure it could run for a while without issue. So mainly testing hours but I'd say about 4-5 labour hours. Plus a few mins of cleaning now and then . Was made for 3DS max. All the research I did point towards it needed a beefy CPU and GPU (obviously) so rather than getting a gaming orientated GPU I went with one I know is widely used within rendering machines. I know it's not the best but for the budget and the purpose it'll do the trick.

EDIT: I might do a full hardline watercooling loop for him in the near future.
