.... very nice machine: thats also my taste.!

This is a solid build. Very nice. I wanted the Corsair AX860 PSU and the Corsair K70 (RBG) keyboard so badly, they're hard to come by at a good price. Their prices and popularity have spiked since early 2015, so they are more expensive now.

My sister has Corsair K70-RGB LED-Cherry MX Red and it looks really good, when she got it was 90$, now it's like 150$ or even more.
I didn't wanna buy this PC because it's for gaming and I don't play games. But, I do 3D rendering from time to time as a part-time job and I need something that will run smoothly. My old PC was a few years old and I couldn't do much, I work with 4-5 VM opened and I wanna be able to do everything as fast as I can.
Overall this PC was around 3000$ which is not that expensive and it's pretty good.

You could try slipping a m.2 SSD for faster 3D rendering when you're due for next upgrade cycle. Is it QHD monitor from Dell optimized for photography?
BTW, your machine is a monster.

Next month, I will get two more SSD Intel 535 Series 120GB SATA-III and I also need a UPS and an Wireless Router.
I wonder if the PSU will handle two more SSD and about the monitor, I don't know. I only do 3D rendering once a month, there are times when I don't do it in months, when I need to do it, I need to be fast and I usually have a week.
I'm so happy about this setup and Windows 10 is so fast, I guess if you have an old PC you should keep Windows 7 else install Windows 10. I wanna keep this PC for more then five years so how I do it now, will remain for a long time.

Why not, sell all those current SSDs and settle for one big SSD which easier to maintain? Bigger drivers offers more performance and IOPS because of large free space. As long you stick with one GPU, PSU can handle 'em since SSD consume very less power.

I wish I could own one in near future!

 

[Duotone]

WOW!

Only chance for me to get that kind of Rig is by winning the lottery...

Oh my! Love it! Those are the things I want.. but I'm too broke to buy.
