Is this PC good for what I am doing?

[Parsa The Potato]

I have made a list from PCPartPicker so here is the link:

List of things I will use my PC for:

Heavy Gaming

Light Photoshoping

Heavy encoding

Heavy recording

Twitch

Tinkering

 

Any opinions about what to change?

That M.2 SSD is very expensive compared to regular SATA SSDs. I'd rather go with the latter one since the performance difference is not that enormous in the real world.

Seems pretty good although you might need 16GB of RAM if your doing heavy encoding and also a larger HDD, maybe 2-4TB

[Lolucoca]

It's completely enough for what you're doing

Mmmmmm Maybeeeee Maybeeee 4k with a GTX980 ti... is... I mean, It totally can with it, but I would go with 1440p... I just say because I will buy the same graphics card and I have seen some reviews, at 4k, depending the game, in ultra is between 35 an 60 fps for most of the most famous game AAA. So, like I said I would go for 1440p if you are thinking of recording and streaming.

 

More than that... yeah is a pretty overkill setup. Good luck

 

In other post down this I let you my thought setup. Hope it helps you

If you will be recording you will want a bigger storage. I like the SSD good for boot and high priority applications, but for your HHD you should go for 2TB and if you can you can go the extra step and buy a hybrid note it will cost you like 20-30 $s more but its a lot faster but everything else is perfect in my opinion

I think at that price you can do better. Yeah the m.2 on that motherboard is not a pcie lane so you will be limited to sata3 speeds. Change to a normal sata ssd or get a pcie ssd.

Also i would say for long hours of use you might want a more quiet case and better fans. You did include alot of fans but probably too much.

Here is my future setup, is diferent from yours because I use DDR4, and other stuff:

• i7 5820k + Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H110i GT 
• Motherboard well... almost every Motherboard of this socket is just overkill chose a Cheap one
• Gigabyte GTX 980 ti G1
• 3 Dell P2416D 24" LED QHD 
• MX100 512 GB SSD
• 3 TB Harddrive 7200 rpm
• Corsair RM850 850W 80 Plus Gold Modular 
• Corsair Air Series AF140 Low Noise 140x140x25mm 
• G.Skill RipJaws 4 DDR4 2800
• And yeah... the computer case... Thats important I'm gonna go for the 780T Graphite from Corsair.

And just add keyboard and mouse. This is the setup I will go, so I recommend you to get only 2 monitors, and if you gonna twich, game in one and twitch dashboard in the other. This setup is "future-proof" and when recording, remember to record in the normal harddrive to increase the lifetime of the ssd...

 

Good luck!! Hope it helps you to choose!!

My budget is 3800 dollars AUD BTW and I am adopting the 2 cheap 2K monitors for myself.

[Archarin]

If you use Shadowplay, you'll be really fine.

[Nena Trinity]

To many fans it is fantacular!

[Parsa The Potato]

Yassssssss I know

[Parsa The Potato]

Also, 5820K is my sweet spot? Everything is expensive in Australia.

[Parsa The Potato]

Need to get cheaper monitors from some Korean brand?
