Plan For New Rig

[Nerykrugeer]

Hi everyone

 

Well I have a big rig for gaming right now, and im planning to built another one but not for gaming or anything, because it will be more for my family than for myself, and it probably it will be use for some video editing and some photo editing and basic use, so it doesnt have to be powerfull, but need to last a while, some parts I will be taking out of my old rig and put on this one since i will be upgrading the older rig.

 

so here it is what i will be putting on this new rig:

 

ASUS P8Z77-V LGA 1155 Z77 ATX Intel Motherboard

 

Corsair H100 water cooling  with SP120 Quiet Version

Intel Core i5 3470 3.2GHz LGA 1155 Boxed Processor

Corsair HX1050 power supply

Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB DDR3-1600 (PC3-12800) CL9 Dual Channel Desktop Memory Kit (Two 8GB Memory Modules)

Samsung 840 pro 128gb for boot

 

2tb Seagate or WD for data

 

Another 2tb for backup

 

EVGA 660 ti SC+ 3GB

 

Case HAF XB

 

One thing I know is the power supply its waaaaay overkill, but well since i will be using a fully modular on the older rig, and this was the one inside, i will be using this one.

 

Let me know what u guys think about it, and let me know anything I could change on the rig, anything helps.

 

Thanks

Just making sure, you have a microcenter near you?  Because they only do in-store pickup :)  You could shave a lot off the price, if it's just a family machine for the most part there's no way a 660 Ti is needed xD You might want to think about an APU system with the A10.  Then again that would sit even less well with the 1000W power supply xD  Doubt 16GB of RAM will be useful either.  H100 is definitely not necessary, considering the i5-3470 can't be overclocked there's basically no way to take advantage of a AIO water cooler.  Just get the Hyper 212 EVO if you're concerned about noise with the stock cooler.

I do have micro center near me, actually i have 2 near me, and well the 660ti is on my gaming rig which i will change for a titan one, and the power supply i want a fully modular, so HX go on this one, water colling since i will be doing a costum loop on my other rig, the water colling goes on this rig too, i aggree that 16 is to much, i can go down to 8 and save some cash. Yeah on this one i will not be overclocking at all, because it will be the family computer, where I actually dont use at all since I have my own, and because i will be upgrading mine, i will just put some of the stuff that was on mine to this one.

Ah I understand :)

I'd change the CPU on that for a 3570K but if thats out of your budget that cpu is fine too!

well I hope the budget wont be a problem, but i figure since I wont be overclocking, I didnt see the point of going to the 3570K, but maybe I can go and look more about the 3570k and see what will be my advantagens on that

In that case just go with Glenwing's suggestion. Since this is essentially going to be a home theaterish system an A10 APU would do you just fine.
