Hi guys, I'm looking to build myself a new PC. I will be ordering all the parts and building it at the end of August.
Budget. 12000 SEK - $1800
Where do you live: I will be buying most stuffs in Sweden, I am currently in Thailand so might be buying some stuffs here to take back when I travel bacl to Sweden.
Do you need or already have peripherals? Yes I have all the necesary peripherals
What will you be using your future computer for? Gaming and Video editing
Do you overclock or want to get into overclocking? Yes, but not so advanced yet
Do you plan on going for custom watercooling now, or in the future? Maybe, but not anytime soon
OS. Do you need a new one? Yes
If you Game-
I am a competitive player, so FPS is very important to me. I would like atleast 100+ FPS on games like BF3/4. So the settings does not really matter as long as it doesn't affect the game play.
I game at 1080
If you Render or Edit things-
What application do you use to render? After effects, Vegas pro
its a little bit over budget but a GTX780 instead of a GTX-770 is realy worth it, in therm of performance, it destroys allmost every card arround, exept the titan a GTX780 performs realy close to the titan, for very less money, realy the card you wanne have for video editing. ofc the case is something personal.
well taking a 3770K will not realy save you some money, because the i7-4770K and 3770K are allmost equal in price.
You could cheap out on storage, picking up a 1TB WD caviar blue or Seagate baracuda, that saves you a couple of dollars. OR a cheaper SSD, Like samsung 840. or buying a SSD later on, could also be an option to saving money.
you could also pickup a cheaper mobo, but the Asus Rog hero board is very nice priced, and good quality board, i would personaly stay with it.
indeed i picked up a corsair H80i to save money, but this LC cooler will also be capable, to keep some basic overclocks nice and cool.
i would personaly stay with the i7-4770K in my opinion its not realy worth it invest money into a dead socket that the socket 1155 is. That doesn´t mean that the 3770K is a bad cpu, not at all, but there is no upgrade path.. because its end of life.
