I already got recommendations fro the CPU, RAM, HDD, Graphics Card etc.

What I want to ask here is what about the cooling of CPU and the case?? I just picked the max $$$ case here and I have no idea if it is good. What I need is surely: as silent as it can be, light, durable, less clutter inside etc. I await your suggestions on that.

Wahts the rig for thats mega high end!

Also why the huge ssd and 3 separate hard drives?

Also why 32gb ram? I think you will need win 7 professional OS for all that ram. Personally I'd go for 8gig or 16gb if you are doing alot of video editing n that.

If ya want less clutter inside the case, i'd opt for the hx750, that psu is modular therefore the extra cables (that are not needed) can be removed for added cable management, less clutter and better airflow.

Personally I wouldn't go for that case, I don't think its going to be very "light"

The PC is intended for Intense use of After Effects , Premire Pro, Photoshop, Maya, Zbrush etc.

SSD will have Win 7 64 Professional on it so system will work fast and the other 3 HDD in RAID 0 configuration for data storage.

I have currently 4 core Xeon and 18 GB RAM and when rendering it tops up the RAM already.

What model is HX750, I dont see it on this site listed? And will HX70 be light and quiet?

Sorry its called the "CORSAIR 750W PRO SERIES™ HX750-80 PLUS® SILVER MODULAR (£114)" Will massively help to keep the insides nice and tidy. i've never even heard my psu, so i wouldnt worry about noise, also it wont be any heavier than the other corsair psu's.

ya spec sounds like a good match for ya needs.

What case do you like the look of? You dont need to spend a fortune, anything higher than the cm690 II will be a good choice.

I like the design of this case : The Coolermaster Cosmos 1000 ... But It's heavy and I dont know if it will provide enough cooling for the specs above including GPU, HDD etc.??
