I'm building a new machine on the Haswell-E platform. The majority of it is already ordered, but I thought I'd ask and see what people think of how I'm setting it up. I'm not expecting to render particularly complex timelines or effects or more than two streams at a time, but this is a long term sort of machine. Currently I've got:
Core i7-5930K
Asus X99 Deluxe
32 GB (4x8) of DDR4-2400
Samsung 850 Pro 512 GB (OS drive)
2x Geforce GTX 880, when it's released (making do with a pair of 7970s for now)
(misc uninteresting cooling and power bits)
Not too worried about that part, as nothing I'm doing suggests that I should go nuts and build a dual Xeon type of system. Quadros/FirePros are also unacceptable, for a variety of reasons. (Chief among them is I'm a game dev.)
The real question is the storage. My plan is:
Samsung 840 Evo 1 TB (general computing data, project drive, FRAPS capture drive)
3x or 4x WD Black 4TB in RAID 0 (the big files)
2 TB Thunderbolt/USB3 drive for transfer purposes
Given that the GH4 files aren't all that big (100 mbit in 4K), I feel like that should be more than adequate. Anyone foresee any spec changes I may want to make?
