Hi,

Im building a PC for a friend to use Cinema 4d to model products. I have been budgeted with £500-£600. This is what I have come up with.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i5-4590 3.30GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail £157.99
1 x Corsair Hydro H80i High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler (CW-9060008-WW) £79.99
1 x Asus Z97-P Intel Z97 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard £70.99
1 x Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (ST2000DM001) HDD £66.98
1 x Kingston 120GB SSDNow V300 Drive SATA 6Gb/s 3 2.5" (7mm height) Solid State Hard Drive - (SV300S3B7A/120G) **Upgrade Bundle Kit /w Adapter** £56.99

Any pointers to something more suited would be great.

Edit: It has been requested to have hydro cooler and red styled case.

drop the Z97 board. If you are not overclocking then you won't need it. A H81 will do the job.

Also will need a cheap graphics card. Something along the lines of a GTX750 will do the job. Take the load off the cpu graphics.
 
Agree with above plus more ram 8gb is not enough need at least 16gb. Def Nvidia card GTX 750ti or above for CUDA support (think Cinema 4D uses it) and drop the H80i cooler. I wouldnt spend £80 on a cooler for a non k CPU as its not going to be overclocked. Look round the £20-£30 mark.
With the saving on the H80i try and see if you can fit a Haswell i7 in the budget as Cinema4d will benefit more from the Hyperthreading.

Remember I have only been budgeted upto £650 Theres no way I can stick an i7, 750ti and 16gb of RAM in with the budget I have been given. My friend has also asked my to take out the i5 4590 and go with a 4690k which I will overclock for him.

Cinema 4D really wants a Discrete graphics card.
They go as far as recommending an AMD or NVidia. Intel on board graphics are really not recommended:

Cinema 4D itself doesn't use Cuda, although some 3rd party render engines (Octane, Thea etc) & plugins (Turbulance FD) do.
So AMD or NVidia is fine.
Doesn't have to be top end, 260X will be fine :

You'll have to trim the CPU & cooler to fit it in.
Don't worry about RAM, you can easily add more later as your projects grow in ambition.

+1

Might be tempted to upgrade the PSU a bit to take up any slack in the budget to give you a little more upgradeability, but other than that looks perfect...
