// Buying Advice for X99 System Build //
Looking to put together an X99 workstation for use in video post production (lot of heavy work, 4K, RED media, etc). Work done mainly in Adobe software (Premiere, AE, PS, etc), as well as DaVinci Resolve.
Here is what I am looking at so far:
CPU: Intel i7-5930k
MB: Unsure - either Asus X99 Deluxe or Gigabyte X99 UD5? Suggestions/recommendations appreciated.
Graphics: GTX 980 Ti AMP! Extreme 6GB
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 Series 32GB DDR4 2800
All other components I still need to find.
Will everything I have so far work smoothly together?
One of my biggest concerns is that I need Thunderbolt 2 (at least 2 ports, ideally more), preferably capable of daisy chaining. I also need a fair number of USB 3.0 ports (or 3.1?).
I'm sure there's a number of things here I'm forgetting to mention... I'll add as I remember.
The help is much appreciated.
Cheers,
Aiden
