I am building a Budget editing Rig, i would have gone with the videos suggesting to, but i am in a place where my resources are limited and will be glad to know your opinions and suggestions.
Chipset : i7, 4790k Case : Antec gx 300 Ram : Kingston hyper x 1866Mhz, 2*8 GB DDr3 GPU : Asus gtx 750ti 2GBD5 Board : confused between MSI Z97 gaming 3 and Asus Z97- A Coolant : Cooler master Hyper TX3 Evo Power supplies : Cooler master V750 SSD : Kingston 240 GB HDD : WD Western Blue
Really confused in choosing the right Mother board. Looking for your suggestions.
I agree with @MisteryAngel you can do a lot better for $1300
Here is something I threw together for $1276 http://pcpartpicker.com/p/sh7BXL CPU : i5, 6600k Case : Corsair 400R ATX Mid Tower Case Ram : G.Skill NT Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory GPU : Asus Radeon R9 390X 8GB Video Card Board : Asus MAXIMUS VIII HERO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard Z170 Coolant : Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO Power supplies : Rosewill 750W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply SSD : Samsung 850 EVO 250GB HDD : WD Western Black 1TB.
Could swap the 390X for an Nvidia card (most likely 970) if you prefer and keep the cost about the same. Obviously these are my picks and you may not like them, but this is within your budget and I feel it is a much better PC. before I would buy I would check the motherboard compatibility list to make 100% sure the RAM is verified.
This is what I would recommend as well. A couple changes just based on my experience:
Maybe a better brand for the PSU with a better warranty. Maybe EVGA, Seasonic, or Corsair. EVGA have a 10 year warranty on some of their power supplies as does Seasonic. I have an EVGA Supernova 750 watt Gold with a 10 year warranty and it’s got a butter smooth power curve.
As far as the case goes I can’t recommend Fractal and Phanteks enough. Corsair is fine but everything feels plastic and cheap.
You could swap out the GPU for a 390, specifically the Sapphire 390 nitro. Then put the money towards an AIO like the H110i or the EK Predator. This allows for a much larger overclocking overhead on the CPU which is good for editing. On the same line of thinking the faster the memory the better so if you see a higher clock speed kit for a similar price go for it.
I had the H100i GTX at first but forgot about a HDD so I removed it to make some room cash wise for the HDD. Another PSU definitely isn't a bad idea perhaps the EVGA 750 Bronze
updated part list, funny enough ends up being cheaper due to the PSU being a better price than the one I picked before. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/HGxmXL
If you do allot of video editing and rendering, then option1 would basicly be a better choice. The 5820K is a 6 core 12 threads cpu, and will be a better work Horse for productivity workloads over a main stream i7 like the 4790K which are only quadcores.
If your main focus is gaming, and you do some productivity stuff occasionaly. Then something like Option 2, with the 4790K would be a good choice.
According to gpu´s in case of the 5820K build, you might also concider a R9-390 over a GTX970. But the choice of gpu highly depends on which editing application you are using.
Ah okay, that might change the price perspective. You could maybe lookup some of those builds suggested, how much it will cost over there. I have realy no single clue about India pricings.
Yeah thats why you need to look and compair some prices, idk how the India pricings on X99 mobo´s are. If you could afford Haswell-E then i would recommend it. Like i said the 5820K is a 6 core 12 threads cpu, and will be a huge benefit over a 4790K which is only a 4 core 8 thread cpu in productivity workloads like video editing and rendering.
But if you cannot afford X99, then the 4790K on Z97 will definitely be a good choice.
Here is something that I would do. More GPU horsepower over the CPU but still fine for video editing. Also what is your budget in Rupees because I just my version 1300 USD give or take on theitdepot website.(Indian based IT computer parts seller).
