Hi all. i was recently setting up a gaming PC as I do youtubing and I am thinking of having a seperate pc for recording editing and streaming to take some strain off my future PC. This PC will be used in Premiere Pro and After Effects whilst also including a Avermedia Live Gamer HD. Here is the setup:
-Case-Coolermaster Elite 335u-£31
-Motherboard-Gigabyte GA970ADS3-£53
-CPU-AMD FX 8350-£153
-CPU Cooler-Arctic Cooling Freezer 7-£17
-GPU-EVGA GTX 650-£86 (For CUDA)
-RAM-Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz-£62
-PSU-Corsair CX500w-£45
I am able to pick up 4x 250gb HDD from Cex for £60 and intend to run them in RAID 0
Total-£507
I was just wondering if this PC is suitable for my needs hope to see some comments down below...
idont want any performance drops from the main gaming pc so id rather have a second pc for streaming.as well as this the gaming pc will have a amd card so won't have CUDA cores enabeld
well being new to cuda and stuff i was thinking of a gaming system running a hd 7870 and fx6300 and because recording and streaming takes a noticable frame hit build a seperate system to take the strain and to edit on for £500 hence bringing me to the question is the £500 pc good for editing and streaming.
I would propose placing an 8320 or 8350 in one system. The additional cores will be good for streaming. Grab a 7950 with the money that you save, that should be a massive contribution to editing. You can pick up a 7950 for cheap, probably less than the cost of a 7870 + 650.
One £800 PC would beat two £500 PCs.
Adobe has good support which utilises AMD gaming hardware. Why split your budget? With a high end octa-core processor and a high-end GPU, you won't have problems.
But, if your using a Avermedia your CPU won't be doing any compression on the fly, and I assume your not going to be streaming a 1080p?
You would get much better performance for Adobe CS buy putting £500 extra into you gaming rig then making a super duper budget workstation just for editing....and CUDA cores are not magic, they won't make a 650 better for editing the whatever AMD card you plan on using for gaming!
EDIT TO ADD:
Berserker is bang on, put the exta money on the CPU and stick a 7950 in one machine (hell up grade to 2 in crossfire later on) CUDA is not that amazing, esspacal at the really low level of the 384 cuda cores in a 650, even Adobe are move to the open source of OpenCL/GLnbsp;
better ram better mobo ssd for boot drive and a dedicated fast hdd to record to (dont buy secondhand drives) if you can spend the extra and get a 660ti/760(the 660ti has more cuda cores than the 760 and its cheap here in the uk)
One more powerfull pc is going to be better but dont get the Asrock 990FX extreme 3 i am useing one as a temporary mobo and its to be frank junk 4+1 power phase the mobo is to thin all the components heat up like crazy and i had no end of cool boot bug problems with it that i had to set the bios back to a bios from 2 years ago to fix for the 8320.
had a look at coopermans comment and looking at the top 2 asus mobo's and wondering the difference between a 990fx chipset or a 990x chipset. as i am stuck between the two
