Thanks for the information and fast replies!

Last question, do you think a 600w Be quiet 80+silver is enough? (CPU in use is Xeon e3v5 1240 OC @4.5GHz and 1.31V on air)

Would you say the windforce 3x cooler is a good choice? Well I can't find it anywhere (4gb model) under 140€ even used, and I can get a r9 290 used for the same

Hey, so basically I'm seraching for a GPU to go into my system. I want to spend under 150€ and am currently looking at the r9 290/gtx 780 (amd runs hot and loud, nvidia has only 3gb and no longer gets driver support I think). I'm mainly photo editing and also some Davinci Resolve work and game at 1080p. I want to go used, cause I don't see a point in getting a 460/960 for the same price point. To go into perspective, where I live (germany) a rx 470 4GB (new cause you can't find used once here) goes for 200€, a new 970 goes for the same. 390's go for at least 200 and weirdly 380x's are also over 150€. Any Idea?

Stealth please, cause I'm broke and need a portable maschine to write and do photoediting on the go. (I'm an aspiring director and love photgraphy) With the 100% adobe rgb and 4k display and amazing black design, I will make all these Macbook users jelly and can finally throw away my big fat old sony maschine which left actual burning marks on my desk once...... Winning this would be like birthday and christmas together hehe. :DDD

Ok thanks guys for all your help

I just noticed, that memory faster then 1600mhz doesnt seem to be supported by h87 mobos?

and is it important having 2 gigs of vram or would 1gb be fine?

and how would be 650ti and 16gb ram oc?

@Totalschaden1997 thanks! would you say getting a 650 and 16 gigs of ram would be better? (650 non ti)

Hey guys, I'm currently trying to build a new workstation pc on a budget. ecause I life in Germany Prices maybe different for you. I will mostly work with Adobe Premier CS6 on Win7 and DSLR footage in H.264. For me quietness is a really important aspects to the System. To wrap it up i have currently one AMD and one INTEL build and I want your opinion on it. For my IPS Panel I will get a 23" (58,42cm) Dell S2340L for 167,11€ My Budget for the PC is 660€ (im buying here http://www.mindfactory.de/, because its the cheapest for me) AMD Bulild: CPU: AMD FX Series FX-8320 8x 3.50GHz (OC to 4-4.5GHZ) (€ 116,20) Mainboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P AMD 970 (€ 70,85) GPU: 2048MB Asus GeForce GTX 660 DirectCU II (€ 156,95) RAM: 2x4GB Crucial Ballistix Sport XT DDR3-1600 CL9 (€ 54,39) CPU-Cooler: be quiet!

Is there sth you would change in order to achive better results in noise/performance(have in mind this rig is not designed for gaming)? Or would you Build completely different considering the Budget? I hope you can help me and my english wasn't too bad Sam
