Building my first PC

[Enis]

Hey guys I want to make my first PC .I'm about gaming and recording . I want to make good gaming pc for little money .

This what I want to make tell me what you think !

 

 

Procesor Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge

 

Motherboard AsROCK Fatal1ty Z77 Performance

 

Hard Disk 2TB Seagate Barracuda

 

Video Card ASUS GeForce GTX 660 2GB GDDR5

 

Case Blueberry Miditower Gamer

 

RAM 16GB DDR3 2400MHz, 4X4GB, Kingston HyperX Beast

 

1500W Cooler Master Silent Pro M2 RS-F00-SPM2D3-EU

 

Soory for my bad English

a few minor alterations,

i5-3570k

850w PSU

GTX 670

16GB of Ram at 1600Mhz

[bennyino]

keep the 3770k because if you record i assume you render so it will help quite a bit, choose whatever mobo you want, that one is fine, get ram at 1600mhz you dont really need any higher, id get a 660 ti instead of a 660 because its a huge performance gain but a small price gap, that psu is sooooo overkill, get a 600 watt or 750w psu like a ax760i, idk that case but it should be fine.

1) Wait for haswell. I cant stress this enough. 

2) if your are waiting for haswell you will change your Mobo

3) Get an SSD even just a small one for a boot drive

4) go 660ti or wait for 760 (or 760 ti) :)

5) With Ram anything over 1600 is barely noticeable so go with 1600mhz

6) Your PSU is waaaaaaay too overkill. Refer to http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp to calculate proper PSU needs. 

 

Are you doing some rendering work too? are you overclocking?

a 3570k will be just as effective and will open up enough room on the budget for a GTX 670,

I agree with this build. 1500w is a bit...  well... too much.

[MzCatieB]

I agree with this build. 1500w is a bit...  well... too much.

i would even say 850w is overkill, but it will allow headroom for SLI in the future

[iAsuno]

You need an aftermarket cooler for that cpu assuming you overclock it. 1500w is WAAAAAAAY overkill. A 660ti is better if you have money.

[iAsuno]

Well it seems i have to type faster in my cell. You people are fast.

[MzCatieB]

150 WPM typing speed and a good internet connection :3 also a computer that can keep up with what i am doing (just)

no it wont, you cant argue that a 3770k is much faster than a 3570k when rendering, it literally has double the cores due to hyper-threading, plus a 670 is almost the same as a 660 ti...

if he is using any software in editing and rendering it will utilise CUDA, therefore a GTX 670 will be more effective cause it will have more cores, also it will allow more stable frame rates in game and recording.

[iAsuno]

Sorry i dunno how to quote on the mobile site. I have a tiny galaxy y on mah definitely not small hands. Haswell may be worth waiting if you aint in a rush. But then, who knows?

[iAsuno]

670 an 660ti have the same cores right?

[MzCatieB]

670 an 660ti have the same cores right?

 670 has a higher base clock

performance difference isnt much but the ingame difference is visable:

even if the cuda cores affected as much as the cpu cores what you said doesnt make any sense because they have the exact same amount of cores...

[iAsuno]

Since im in an airport with crappy connection, whoops, boarding now. But 670 is just better imo i just thinkof OPs budget.

[MzCatieB]

if the alterations i put save enough he could get a GTX 680 which will be the biggest difference in performance, in rendering with CUDA the cpu takes no strain what so ever it puts all the rendering on to the graphics card

[bennyino]

the 680 wouldnt change much, it only has about 10% more cores while with the cpu you would get 100% more cores

I would love to travel, pretty curious where you are going

[MzCatieB]

the 680 wouldnt change much, it only has about 10% more cores while with the cpu you would get 100% more cores

the 3770k is a 4 core

the 3570k is a 4 core

the only difference is the amount of threads on each core, 

3770k has 8 threads

3570k has 4 threads

also the Cache is only a little difference, you wont see any difference with it

3770k has 8Mb

3570k has 6Mb

[bennyino]

i know, but you do realise rendering takes advantage of threads as if they were full cores, right?

[MzCatieB]

the 680 wouldnt change much, it only has about 10% more cores while with the cpu you would get 100% more cores

also here is the difference between the 660ti and the 670

you do realise i cant understand anything of whats  there right? nice copy/paste from wikipedia

[MzCatieB]

i know, but you do realise rendering takes advantage of threads as if they were full cores, right?

they do, but when rendering CUDA it utilises each core with the ram and the performance difference is what can be the difference of 10min rendering or 25 hours of rendering
