I plan use for my Gmod/sfm, Adobe Photoshop , Adobe Illustrator , Blender 2.67 for video editing, 3D modeling , rendering more. and gaming pc games and emulators as well.
Solid setup overall and the 390 will do really well in blender OpenCL render work. However I would somewhat recommend you use an FX-8350 for the processor instead as it wont cost much more (you can also save alot here by getting a used processor as they are very unlikely to fail). This is because the 8350 has a considerable multicore and a slight single core performance advantage over the FX 6300 which will help alot in your workstation build.
You could probably leave out the FirePro card too unless you have specific needs for it as the programs that you have listed will all do just fine with the 390 and CPU combo.
nice build try to get a sapphire card since they stay much cooler and are quieter then others and they are i believe the main partner for amd so i think they make the stock amd cards as well not sure tho
Illustrator performance doesnt scale past a dual core
3d and video workloads scale well across cores so its definately worth you getting an 8350 at a later point.
photoshop is a bit of a frankenstein when it comes to workloads, some things are single thread and other things are multithread
Some people recommend 8320's but I would steer clear of anything that failed the normal binning process for the 4 ghz + boost as the odds are you wont be able to push it past 4.0 ghz without the temps going crazy (I may be wrong here as I know people who have pushed them to 4.8, just saying the odds are against you).
That makes no sense whatsoever since you've overwritten the cheapest FX-6300 option. For the 150 USD FX-6300 from NCIX USA you can get the FX-8320 for 130 USD from micro center if you can pick it up or for 135 USD from Amazon. Where as the FX-6300 is 90 USD pick up from microcenter, or somewhere in the neighbourhood of 100-120 USD from other places.
And if you're tight on cash, why pick a 1000W PSU for that kind of hardware. Talk about overkill. 850 G2 would make a bit more sense and is only 116 USD with shipping after a 20$ MIR. Or the 750 G2 from NCIX US 80 USD after 20$ MIR.
And still talking of cash, the R9 390 smokes the Firepro W7100 unless you really have some software that can only utilize the Firepro. The R9 390 has 1.5x the single precision munching power and 3.1x the double precision munching power, for pretty much half the price.
i didnt read that far down on his build log, missed the firepro bit at the end, that bit is definately screwed up..
for that level of money he could have just gone x79 /socket 2011 with a much better overall build.
message to op
memory throughput helps a lot with video and 3d , you can simluate this to test it if you want.. run two renders and different ram speeds (same mem with diff xmp profiles) and you will get a fairly large speed bump with the faster frequency.. it's just food for thought.
If you are going to be spending a lot of time rendering then 2133 might be worth it to you.
Fire pro W7000 is for very highly detail blender 3d modeling like moving prats inter prats of 3d mecha with full working prat prats of the frame, panels, chassis, other moving compounds as well.
I got great deal on 1000W PSU and safe to have more power then less. And still have power to upgrade to two R390 GUPS in future.
Blender doesn't make use of workstation card features if I remember right
and you should really be getting a 5820K if you're going to do heavy workloads, especially for that budget.
Also a 4k display is going to be better for productivity, and that display is utterly terrible, 1080p at 34"?
Start here, maybe buy more 4k displays, or a 40" 4k display for more screen real estate, just needs the missing hard drives as well, both the CPU and GPU are better
and it includes a 4k IPS free-sync display, though it's only 27"
well then here at least, it includes a 4k IPS free-sync display for better productivity, though 32" or higher would be preferred, you could even fit in a 40" 4k display with the room left in the budget
Would upgrade the stock cooler for OC'ing. The stock cooler is just fine for stock and MB stuff like x-boost or whatever it's called on my Asrock board. The stock cooler is surprisingly quiet and works well.
