H i Guys,
I'm planning a PC build which will mainly be used for editing in adobe Premier HD footage from my Canon 5D3 and gopro.
I'm currently using a 2013 Macbook Air, so I'm after something with a bit more horsepower to speed up my workflow, I generally find transcoding and rendering pretty slow on the Mac. I had originally planned to build a PC with a similar spec to an iMac with the latest haswell, but then found lots of info online about haswell-e.
I have put together a build based around x99
I've arrived at the following build list:
PCPartPicker part list: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/CT7rP6
Price breakdown by merchant: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/CT7rP6/by_merchant/
CPU: Intel Core i7-5820K 3.3GHz 6-Core Processor (£293.94 @ Aria PC)
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler (£85.31 @ Aria PC)
Motherboard: Asus X99-PRO ATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard (£234.82 @ More Computers)
Memory: Crucial 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory (£308.70 @ More Computers)
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 760 4GB Superclocked ACX Video Card (£214.63 @ Amazon UK)
Case: Fractal Design Define R4 (Arctic White) ATX Mid Tower Case (£70.83 @ Ebuyer)
Power Supply: Corsair RM 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply (£89.59 @ Aria PC)
Total: £1297.82
I already have an SSD for boot drive and other 1TD storage from another computer so the above list is all i need to purchase.
Its also been suggested that Xeon would be a good option for such a build, but the cost would be nearer £1500 for a similar build with Xeon.
I have a couple of questions.
1. What do people think about the above build?
2. Would using Xeon be more appropriate?
3. Will the cooler I have chosen be suitable for the i7-5820K?
4. I was also wondering about the best way to setup to storage? RAID options etc.
5. Is there anything else I have missed and ought to consider as part of the build?
Any advice and suggestions very welcome
