why the hell is that 6700k $500?

NZ?

Because I live in pretty much a non-country

oh. dang dude.

Go to /r/buildapc, they'll actually help you

>SSD only
If you think 480GB is enough for you that's fine but it's a bit on the light side in my opinion.
>sound card
>wired network adapter
For what purpose? You do realize the motherboard has an onboard audio chipset and a functional ethernet port right? If you want high end audio get an external DAC and amp.
>2509.84 New Zealand Dollar equals 1785.16 US Dollar
That's rough, buddy.

>GTX 980 when next-gen is out already
Why?

>i7

why?

1080 is a minimum of NZ1k if you're lucky, 1.2k is more normal.

I figured out about that extra peripherals, I thought they were necessary but they're not so I dropped them.

I'm thinking instead of 480GB SSD, I'll go for 240GB SSD and 3GB green drive.

What do you recommend?

Forgot to mention, the most I'll use the rig for is 3d rendering in UE4

i5 would do just fine.

I originally had an i5 3.5ghz. I switched thinking about longevity. Should I go back?

Don't listen to them, they're just poor.

They'll try and get you to use an i3 with 4gb of ram because it's "plenty" and then you'll get it and realise that they memed you hard and it's total bullshit.

Even my i7 has difficulty with some things

I'm poor too, but this is my first build and it's gonna be my work computer, I'll cut costs where I can, but no skimping

1070 is priced at 827 from the same site, price difference is worth it.

>3GB green drive.
Assuming you mean WD Green 3TB, 3TB HDDs are notoriously short lived due to a disgusting number of small platters being used and WD greens are terribly slow due to regularly powering down and starting up to conserve power and only being 5400RPM in the first place. Seagate 2TB is a great deal in the states, not sure about your Lord of the Rings land though.

Yeah, the one you mentioned is the best deal here.

As far as SSD goes, to RAID or not to RAID?

Depends on how much you care about the files on the SSD. If an SSD dies, there's very little chance you're going to recover the data on it, which isn't the case for normal HDD's. You would want to store copies of your personal files and documents on mechanical drives, and then SSD failure won't really matter.

Well, my 2TB HDD is larger than I actually need, so I could store an entire backup of my SSDs on there, assuming I get 2 120GB SSDs

I will use the SSD as my workspace for programming and 3D design so it'll be important, but I'll have the space to back it up.

RAID on smaller drives is totally worth it then.

Don't listen to this punk, buy the best processor and you're set for years
