CarAudioFab Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Just wanted to get your guys opinions on my wishlist for this build. http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=22482105 I edit video for fun on YouTube, I can live with slow final render times but I want speedy performance for when I am in the middle of editing.

beaker Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 PSU is more than enough, but if you're going to drop the coin on an i7, I would go with socket 2011, and not 1155. Then get 4 sticks to equal 16 gig because it will run in quad channel. It should be about the same price and a lot faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxim Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 There's a lot of money here that could be better spent. Here's what I would suggest in order to get the most bang for your buck while still running high-end, quality components. Please note that this is just my recommendation in order to get the most for your money. I won't be upset if you don't take any of this advice. Drop the 750W PSU and save money by going with a quality 650W unit. You'll only save $40 but it's a fair amount and the changes add up toward the end (you'll see). PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151106 A quality 650W unit like Seasonic's is still more than enough to power the system plus a bigger/second GPU later if you upgrade this machine. I know cases are more of a personal preference thing but it appears you're a Corsair fan (who isn't; they make awesome stuff) and if you can handle the drop to mATX rather than ATX (I don't know your requirements for add-on cards) then the Obsidian 350D and a solid mATX board will save you even more money that can be used elsewhere and still look all sexy in a Corsair case. Corsair 350D: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139020 ASUS Z77-M PRO: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131833 The mobo comes with a free 8GB DIMM of low-profile Crucial RAM. A second stick can be bought for ~$63 to bring you back to 16GB of DDR3 1600. RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148661 The case/mobo/RAM swap saves you $152. Combine that with the PSU swap that saves you $40 and take the $180 you're budgeting for the GTX 650 Ti Boost and you have $372. That $372 bumps you up to a GTX 670 which, due to it's 1344 CUDA cores and 256-bit memory bus, will perform much, much better than the 650Ti Boost in After Effects and Photoshop. There are a few dual fan/factory OC'd cards hovering around the $390 mark so if you can scrape an extra $18 out of somewhere (who uses optical drives nowadays, anyways? amirite?) then you can get a slightly faster/more quiet card as well. GTX 670: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007709%20600030348%20600315498%20600311820&IsNodeId=1&name=GeForce%20GTX%20670 Pretty much this whole thing hinges on whether you can work with the drop from ATX to mATX. I didn't see anything in the wish list other than the GPU that required an expansion slot so I assume this would be possible. If it's not then this post won't help you a whole lot. Best of luck with the new build! wtf is lolcats? I'd def get a fat hooker if i had to resort to that kinda thing. I feel like they'd be grateful and work harder. Also its more bang for my buck, more real estate for my dollar if you catch my drift. its like the Costco of streetwalkers. I was hoping for 150 .

Best of luck with the new build! Thank you for taking the time to put this together, I like the idea of sticking with the ATX as I want to have options in the future if I really want to do some crazy video editing, or get into gaming. I like the idea that I could switch to a different card and then do SLI if I choose to go with multiple cards. My plan for now is the see how the 650 suits me, if I find it cannot handle my needs I will try and sell it and upgrade to a 670. again thanks for the input though! -Mark Host of "CarAudioFabrication" - YouTube Car Audio Tutorial Channel Check out my forum section here on SMD for my builds and tutorial videos!

CarAudioFab Posted May 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Its like I'm not even here! Sorry, didnt mean to miss your post. That means I would have to pick a Sandy Bridge Processor (i7-3820) instead of the Ivy Bridge. Is it worth it being as the Sandy Bridge is the older technology? I guess the advantage of going with the 2011 socket is I could run one of the new ivy bridge processors when they are released.. Do you have any suggestions for motherboard with the i7-3820? -Mark Host of "CarAudioFabrication" - YouTube Car Audio Tutorial Channel Check out my forum section here on SMD for my builds and tutorial videos!

Then get 4 sticks to equal 16 gig because it will run in quad channel. It should be about the same price and a lot faster. Its like I'm not even here! X79 makes sense for big systems, but not for this budget. For the price of the 3770K and the motherboard OP chose you could move to a socket 2011 i7-3820 and the cheapest X79 board on Newegg and save $20, which would be a good decision as it gives you the option for 6-core (and possibly more cores) CPUs in the future. If he wanted to stay with an ASUS board he would have to pay an extra $15, which is splitting hairs on a $1500 machine. It looks great until you realize what you're actually getting. The CPU is slower due to IVB vs SB-E and the same core count. Quad-channel RAM is faster but it won't make a whole ton of difference in Adobe apps unless he running the files off a RAM disk, which I doubt he will with a total 16GB of system RAM. You're not saving any money to put toward a bigger, badder GPU or any other components that will make a difference. And in a few years after you upgrade the GPU and an upgrade to a 6+ core socket 2011 CPU makes sense, the platform will be outdated anyway. The changes I proposed would offer the most performance for a $1500 machine while still offering 2 open slots for SLI support or add-in cards. Unfortunately it sounds like moving to mATX isn't an option in case he needs the extra expansion slots later on. wtf is lolcats? I'd def get a fat hooker if i had to resort to that kinda thing.

beaker Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 BUT ITS FASTER. /jk In all honesty the more I read about it price/preformance is nominal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
