Getting a parts to my PC build. Exited!

[ShadowsRyder432]

So today I just sold my Kindle Fire for $100 today. And I'll be getting something I have been craving for a long time. A PC I build on PCpartpicker.com
I named it Sigma 9 and this is what it is made up of. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/fGnfhM
It will run everything I need it to run very smoothly and it is a really good pc. I'd recommend it to lots of people. Basically what I'm using it for is to make video games with 3ds Max Design, Unity, & best of all, Unreal Engine 4.
Although I won't be getting all of the parts, I'm exited to just get 3 parts.

Just had to chat about that.

Neat. Looks like a nice little system.
If I could make one suggestion, I've found that the best cost-per-dollar part of any PC build is the OS Drive. If you don't need all of the 1TB, I suggest trying to get a 60gb SSD to install the OS on, and then a 500gb or 750gb hard drive for extra files and stuff. The whole operating system on an SSD will be much smoother and sharper. Here's one for example:

One stick of RAM will run in single-channel mode just FYI. other than that, not bad.

Where are you getting 3ds from? It costs over 3 and a half grand! Surely nobody has that money just sitting around?

If you want to learn lots about Game dev and have detailed questions, check out Reddit's /r/gamedev (http://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev).

Get the ram split up into smaller sticks so it takes up more slots, that way t will run im multi channel mode and in effect, be able to run faster. Appart from that, not bad at all.

I really badly wanted to put the OS on an SSD. but at the time I have to make a choice between downgrading the pc altogether to get a SSD or to get a more powerful PC and get an SSD later on. If I ever get the money (Maybe from selling video games one day! ;) ) I'll definitely be getting an SSD.

I had a hunch I should use up a 2nd slot. Although it supports 16gb I will look into getting two 4gb sticks.

Looking at those stats, not bad. Although you can save around $100 by not buying Windows with it, and just putting some form of Linux on. That is really up to you though

Best be careful with that Autodesk license. You see, Autodesk specifically prohibits commercial use of the student version's output. This includes anything where you make money off of it.
Same goes for Unity and Unreal last time I checked: to (legally) make money using it, you need to buy a license.

If you don't carefully read and follow the terms(these you should really read), the respective companies will be well within their rights to claim some or all of your profits, along with damages.

The media industry has a rather litigious nature, especially when you deal with large companies.

Wow, didn't know that, I will definitely look into the terms. Looks like I just have UE4 and Unity.
