Hi Guys! I am planning to Upgrade my current Setup. Which is an AMD Phenom II x4 B50 (originally a X2 550), 8GB Ram and a GTX560 1GB. As I am on a budget, i´ll try to recycle as many parts as possible. My Primary Workload will be Avid, AfterEffects, Photoshop, Premiere and a little bit of Blender. Maybe Nuke later down the road. Here is my partslist:
Intel i7-5820k (~400€)
AsRock X99 WS (~290€)
Crucial DDR4-2400 2x8GB (~190€)
For CPU-Cooling i am not sure if my Antec H2O 620 can handle 140W TDP (CPU-Z says that the B50 has actually 158,4W and CPUID HWMonitor Scores with 178,2W. I don´t think that´s right cause a Phenon II X4 965 has just 125W). I cann´t read out the temps. Its broken cause of the unlocked Cores. I think it will be one of my selection:
be quiet! Dark Rock 3 (~60€)
Noctua NH-D14 (~75€)
Enermax Liqtech 240 (~100€)
The case will be the Fractal Core 3500 (without the window) or the Nanoxia Deep Silence 2 (both ~70€). My graphics card will be my old GTX560, till i can afford the upgrade to a GTX970 or GTX980 (I have to stick to Nvidia cause of CUDA). As power supply i take my Corsair CS550M. As storage i go with my Mushkin Chronos 256GB Samsung 830 Basic 128GB for OS, Apps and Games. 2x4TB in RAID1 as project storage (e.g. Seagate Desktop ~170€) and my old WD Black 500GB as Cache-Drive. At Total its gonna cost me ~1300€ + the CPU-cooler if needed. Do you have any suggestions to optimize my build?
