$4000 Video editing/ gaming rig help

[Flyguygamer]

I am also in need of a new camera. Should I get the Canon EOS 1100D Digital SLR With 18-55mm IS Lens for $400 or the Canon PowerShot SX160 IS 6354B001 Black Approx. 16 MP 16X Optical Zoom 28mm Wide Angle Digital Camera for $200?

In trying to bring the cost of the build down, what psu wattage do you think I need for 780ti and oc 4770k, sabertooth z87 board, 32gb ram, 2hhd's and 1 ssd.

A decent 650w psu will be more than enough. 

 

What kind of videos are you editing? Programs you are using?

[Flyguygamer]

What kind of videos are you editing? Programs you are using?

1080p 60 fps sometimes 3d. Sony vegas pro 12. What  psu would I need to sli the 780Ti?

1080p 60 fps sometimes 3d. Sony vegas pro 12.

If you're not in a hurry, I'd recommend waiting for aftermarket 290's. If not, this should be more than enough: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/21zBL

I'd say get more, cheaper displays.

I'd feel safer with a 800-850w psu.

 

The system is quite is expensive though. Are you in a hurry to buy?

Yes I am in a hurry to buy. I am open to changes. Those are the cheapest asus 23in displays I could find.

This is what I have now. http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=24242586

I want the total to be less than $4000

Good, I want the h100 for the cpu, and intel only, am going 1150 to save money, need at least 4 tb hdd space. Why did you go for the r4 over the air 540? I also need at least 1 display port monitor to run my 4 23" displays.

[Flyguygamer]

The asus z87 ws board has 2 esata ports and 2 usb ports right next to them for power. I want a cable to plug in my sata HDDs to the usb and esata ports.

[Flyguygamer]

Here is the latest I have, what do you guys think?   http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=23331532  I want the total to be under $4000, $3500 if possible.

Why h100? Why intel only? 

The 3TB is more cost efficient than the 4TB hdd. Just get the 3TB and get another one if you need more.

Going 8350 is quite a bit cheaper than a 4770k. 

The R4 is cheaper than the 540. Case is really subjective so go with what you'd like. 

You could just use a display port adapter.

So you're sure you need esata?

It performs similarly to what I suggested while being quite a lot more expensive..

I don't need esata in the define r4, I will use it, but some way to use my sata hdd's externally with a usb port and the sata 6g esata would be nice none the less.. The h100I is cooler than most air and love corsair's reliability and service. 4770k beats 8350 especially when overclocked. Intel cpu's preform better and are more reliable then amd cpu's for my needs. I know the 3tb is more cost effective but 2 tb are more space and better overall price/gb. how does the asus monitor that you suggested stack up with the pb238q factoring in the price of a dp adapter and cable?

You could just get an external enclosure or adapter for sata to usb 3.0 for a few bucks. They're quite cheap and versatile.

The h100i is more expensive and has loud stock fans. If you want a quiet system or even a decent sounding system, I'd highly recommend not sticking with stock fans.

The Phanteks is pretty much the king of air coolers next to the Silver Arrow SB-E atm. It's quiet and performs very well.

Actually, the 8350 and 4770k trades blows depending what you're doing. This is especially true for 3d rendering. 

Intel doesn't necessarily perform better and both are equally reliable. You don't see some clear trouncing in real life applications until you move up to intel hex cores.

Double check the prices... I'm pretty sure the 3TB drives have a better gb/$ ratio than the 2TB's.  

The PB238q is a bit better but it's mostly the features of swivel and such. It's up to you if you want to spend more for that. Both are great displays. Adapters and cables are relatively cheap.

Since I am going for the define r4, I don't need the esata thing, it's just nice to have.

The h100i is only a little more, and with nff12's on it it will be better than any air cooler, and very quiet.

For the specific type of editing I do I will see better preformance with the 4770k.

I have had bad luck with amd in the past, that with the better performance in my specific use case makes me go for the 4770k and overclock it as far as it will go.

Upon re checking the price the 3tb is only $30 more so for 2 of them only $60 more.

I will go for the cheaper one, and also get a fast asus tn for gaming, so I will got one of the ips you recomend, an asus 1ms gaming, and a 5ms tn acer to go with my current 5ms tn for 4 23" monitors.

Are you just going H100i for looks? 

What kind of specific editing are you doing? Any examples in which the 4770k does better than the 8350 for that?

The difference between 1ms GTG and 5ms is pretty unnoticeable and pretty much the same thing. GTG (grey to grey) response time is not the same as normal response time which is black to black or white to white. I'd recommend just sticking with matching displays.

I am going with the h100i for looks, noise, and because it is *with high quality fans such as nff12's* the best performer. 

Vegas pro 12, cinema 4D, and adobe premier all render faster with 4770k vs 8350. I also do gaming, photo editing, and other misc. things.

It's quite a lot more expensive for less stuff. 

The 780 ti is not a good value. Take a look at the 780 price drop and you'll get an idea of how much of a premium Nvidia really puts on their high end cards.

I know, but the extra cuda cores are a HUGE benefit. Knowing that what do you think?

I already know that. Not worth the extra money.

Isn't the 780TI like 40% faster?

No, that's ridiculous. Look at the benchmarks.
