Can't go wrong with those specs, but the price does seem high. I tried matching the parts as closely as I could on a local build-your-own site [including giant SSD and monitor] and came to just over 2,070EUR. Not really familiar with the needs of archviz, so I'm curious why the need for 240GB on your system drive?
Well the price seems pretty high at first glance, but since it includes a good monitor and and 240gb SSD it isn't too bad. To me the PSU is a bit overkill unless you are looking to do 3 or 4 card SLI, even good 750watt PSUs will handle 2 card SLI, but that doesn't save any money. I would however switch the videocard, The…

SSD is for fast programs startup and glitch free work. I can get realy mad when I must wait for computer to finish something.. Yes price seems little high to me also, but could not find better dealer nearby, still searching, PSU I plan to own for longer time so I'd like to be prepared for more cards in same box or some new…
I plan backup RAID with regular discs not speed RAID cause I think data integrity matters. That discs should be speedy enough so for storing finished projects and all that regular shit.. SSD is larger cause I'd like to have current project on that drive while I work with it and when finished move to "Sotrage"
With the PCIE SSD you open yourself upto a few problems. 1st off there are sometimes compatibility issues booting from certain motherboards, but you can rectify that by making sure the motherboard you want to buy is compatible. 2nd if you install windows every now and and then, you have to do the whole dance of loading…
An SSD doesnt need to be huge tho - You'd be better off putting only your installs on it, and everything else on a regular drive... just like you plan to :) Except, it doesnt need to be huge. I am using OCZ drives myself. And, is a Raid really that important anyways ? As for screens ... used screens can be good too! Just…
yes I know about that. I checked compatibility and it should be ok but this time I'll go with just SSD.. later if money permits and there will be some serious firepower in PCIe SSD I'll do upgrade and leave SSD as working disc.. My dual xeon box is realy old to this date.
