Happy New Year to you all!
Was looking to build an X99 workstation rig later on in 2016 when NVIDIA release their new Pascal GPU and I had a few questions regarding my basket at the moment.
Here's what I've come up with so far:
Total: £573.47
(includes shipping: £10.50)
I was looking for recommendations for the Motherboard, PSU and maybe the RAM as well. I'm not too sure about the RAM I've chosen but I'd definitely want 32GB.
As for storage, I was hoping to get some recommendations. Perhaps a single 6TB HDD along with a 500GB SSD for the programs? Ideally, I'd maybe get 2x250GB so I can perhaps partition one for my OS + software, use the other 250GB SSD for exporting videos and 6TB for storage.
I have all the peripherals I need along with the OS which I can get from my MSDN subscription.
No real budget, would like to see what I can get for my money in terms of power/ reliability for the long run.
