Slinger Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Everything looks good to me. Just missing an aftermarket CPU cooler and operating system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJLynn Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Well, you don't need an aftermarket cooler unless you're overclocking... but, why the two different SSDs? And I'd add one or more large, regular hard drives, for storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slinger Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I would always go with an aftermarket cooler for peace of mind whether overclocking or not, but that is just me. BTW, good question on the second SSD. I swore it said 1TB HDD earlier. (scratches head) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beestee Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 If you can afford it, try to get a high capacity velociraptor for your storage drive. If you are storing textures, HDRs, proxies, working files and such on it it will help speed up your rendering warm-up and make the system seem snappier when opening files that are stored on it. If you are aiming for higher capacity than what WD offers in the velociraptor line, try to get at least a 7200RPM drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
