Quite Is Beautiful [AMD TO INTEL] - Define

desertcomputer

Goal : A Quite Powerful Build for autodesk programs, Adobe Video/Photo Editing Plus some spare time gaming rig. Turn 1 budget computer into living room PC and use parts from orginal build to create a beast quite machine. 

 

This Build Will Probably Takes A Few Month To Complete an at most chance the final build will chance due the fact the price may drop which will result in getting a different and better product. My Goal is to create blue and white case. Photos will be added soon when the part are acquired and installed. Most of the stuff from current build will be moved across to new Intel build but stuff like GPU,CPU,MotherBoard, Ram are staying to be used as second desktop for someone else. 

 

Photos will be added when the item arrived. 

 

Budget $1500AUD

Photo Of Current Step Up

At the moment this current case dont allow alot of room to cable manage, that was the best i would do with the amount of space.

Welcome to the Intelvida master race :)

 

Update: Im heading over to hong kong for a break and have time to visit computer mall and i have found good pricing stuff online, it around 100-200 AUD cheaper per item. Still going have to order case in AUD... dont trust the shipping and i cant bring it over in hand luggage. 

 

CPU Intel i7 4790K

Motherboard: ASUS Maximum VII Hero

GPU: ASUS GTX980

CASE: Phanteks Enthoo Pro

 

Yea.. my idea of themed blue may not be case... may just have some white led strips or fans instead...

I can't find the Enthoo Pro for sale here anywhere, if you know where to buy one - please tell me :) As for the rest, Welp I paid a decent price for my i7 + VII Hero + 980 :)

 

I hope you enjoy Hong Kong - we've got some pretty crappy weather atm though, If you want recommendations on where to not be screwed over, I can help.

Don't worry, I got your back. PC case gear has the black version in stock for $129 and you can pre-order the white one.

Link for the black one: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=27575&cPath=547

Happy building!  :D

The luxe is quite big and not as quiet as the R5 and H440, bare that in mind

Yea but no fan filter on the top R5 and H440 dont have much room on the top.. well from what i see it only few dbs difference.  I might try to find some noiseblocker eloops in AUD or in Hong kong.

You could try going with 295x2 which is $1000 from PC case gear. I would personally wait until after AMD launches their new line up in June, cause that would mean price drops from both teams.

If you want to spend $1500 dollars though, two way 980 sli is a much better option for gaming compared to titan x

New Update:

 

Im will be holding off the GPU until new AMD new 300 series and also waiting for price drop in coming months. 750ti still can handles good editing/rendering, i think there wont be a big performance impact, due to the powerful CPU. I think right now 970 or 980 is really expensive and i think holding off until Later this Q3 or Q4 of these year would be good option to purchase. I was also hopping to do some streaming but with my current internet i cant, my area is getting fiber cable "it was scheduled in Q2 and should be finished Q3" Right now my 750ti can handle any game i through at it but all maxed out ofc. I leaving 500AUD to spend on GPU, but i wont be getting it when i start my build, most likely i will get my GPU a few month after the initial build it finished.

I got 980ti instead, it allow future SLI down the track, atm i have placed 980ti into my fx6300 just to test and if it work. I know it going to be massive bottleneck, i think i could try overclocking it to 5ghz. I did tried this but the temperature was really high so i cracked it down.
