EDIT: After reading half the forum I think I've settled on the build below, which is a very close copy of Stork's Hero build. Is there anything I should be aware of before I pull the trigger? Should I consider a liquid cooler instead of the Noctua? I chose it because it's quiet, but will it control the heat of this build?
Thanks in advance!
I'm looking to replace a early 2015 iMac Retina (maxed). We have a Synology 12 bay RAID for storage and a wired network so editing can be done on the iMac while footage and photo storage can be done on the Synology. The Synology is set up with Link Aggregation to increase it's bandwidth to the network through a managed switch.
Requirements:
-Stability: This will be used for professional video and photography work nearly full time with some gaming on the side
-Overclocked / high performance: I'd like to easily overclock the CPU to get as much performance out of it as possible for video editing
-4k / 5k display: Want to be able to drive a 4 or 5k display
-Dual boot: I want to be able to boot to windows to take advantage of PC only games
-Quiet: Does anyone ever want a loud machine?
