your GPU is going to be the bottle neck in this pc.

My System Specs: (Short list) i7 4770k, GTX 780, many SSD's, a 2 TB HDD(deceased :( ), Corsair 650D. Full list: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/kchriz6097/saved/8dh7YJ

Upgrade Plan: Acquire some Black Noctuas then add 16 or 32GB of 2133MHz memory

The cpu, motherboard, cooler, and psu are overkill/more expensive than they need to be.

Where are you shopping/located? Budget?

 

your GPU is going to be the bottle neck in this pc.

No--in all practicality, it isn't. Bottlenecking doesn't work that way. It's not preventing any other part from performing its fullest.

yea I agree with doubleygamer and that's funny you use your rig exactly how I would use a fast one

if no hardcore gaming like single 1080p or 1440p you could get a 4gb 770 if the 780 is too expensive for gpus I recommend EVGA and MSI for both 770 and 780

use this website it is awesome http://pcpartpicker.com/

not really, bottleneck is a loose term and is not as bad as you think https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAgpvWc4VBM watch this video on Jayz two cents about bottlenecking

but I had recommended a better GPU if it fit his budget

I vote, full ATX motherboard, cheaper RAM at 1866Mhz (Sniper series from G.Skill or something, I can overclock it to 2133Mhz), lower the CPU to a 4690k from the Devil's Canyon launch, get a motherboard to comply with that as well, of course, and a GTX 770 or higher. If you're editing, maybe shoot for a 4gb 770, or just a normal one and get more RAM later on (assuming you're using Premier/AE, Ram Preview is hefty, more VRAM recommended for ray-tracing and such.)

I really wish that we'd just make organic hardware already, that grows and adapts to the demands it needs to meet. That way, grannies' computers can be floppy sacks of organicness and the 12 year old Minecrafters will look like the guys that only do bicep curls, and the nerdy programmers will finally have justice, with their body-builder rigs that skipped leg day.


CPU: i7-4770k 4.8GHz | Motherboard: Asus Maximus Hero | RAM: 16gigs 2133MHz | GPU: SLI Gigabyte OC 2gb 770's | Case: INWIN GRone | Storage: 1tb Blue, 60gb SSD | PSU: Silencer MK II 950w | Cooling: Modded H100i

i would say drop that i7 for a i5 core for pure gaming rig

 

and go for 1600MHz instead of the 2133 or 1866 ones

 

and he can get a GTX770 or a 280X

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

Its a mid ranged card with a higher end CPU. If anything the i7 is not going to do much when it comes to gaming.

Well his PC is for video editing/ rendering etc and only minor gaming at I would say 1080P, so a GTX 760 would be fine...I would get a 280x as they are similar priced, but no real need for a GTX 780. 

PC: Corsair C70 Arctic, FX 9370, Corsair H80i, Gigabyte 990fxa-ud3, Corsair Vengence 16gb, Palit JetStream GTX 970, OCZ Vertex 4 128gb and Western Digital Blue 1Tb + 500gb, Antec Gamer 520w

Peripherals: Logitech G19 and SteelSeries Sensei RAW

Toshiba L50-A: i7 4700mq, 8gb, 1TB HDD, GT 740M 2gb

Just watch it, It's good for your own knowledge. My friend has a 3770 and a GTX 660 Ti, and he doesn't get a slight bottleneck.

The video goes over GPU bottle necks. What I am referring to are CPU bottlenecks. It is nearly impossible to bottleneck a GPU but having a slower GPU with a high end CPU will as your would expect get you fewer frames. The fact of the matter is that going to an i7 will not yield any more performance than even a 6300 or lower end i5.

Why 1600 MHz? 

generally Intel system don't benefit from faster RAM unless it the AMD APU systems

 

I will suggest instead 1600MHz CL7 RAM which is as fast as the 1866MHz or 2133MHz running at CL9 and 10

He going to edit videos, which means that after he's done editing, he's gonna render them. An i7 will render videos much faster than an i5.

I found some article that said that Haswell benefits the most from 1866 MHz (like mine). 1600 and 1866 is the sweet spot.

I'm going to pull a linus and do a devils advocate. The $100 extra on the price tag of an i7 will not be performing $100 better. I have the same i7 and I regularly have to use my older i5 3670k based system for on the go editing and I have not noticed any difference in render times or fluidity of the program at all. So my point stands that the i7 is still not the right choice unless you are doing some intense AE or graphical work.

Also I suggest waiting to the 20th to buy the 3790k which will be the same price as the 4770k but way faster especially for your editing :)

you mean 4790K?

yes point here

 

the 100 or 200 dollars difference could go into a better GPU like the GTX770 or 280X which will make the build more balanced

Obviously you barely render any large videos.
