All that I will have on the SSD would be my OS, maybe 3-5 games (won't take more than 60GB), and some programs, everything else will be on the 1TB Samsung drive that I have.

 

Perfect still I think we can squeeze a little more quality out of this budget give me a minute....

I spend a little bit more then you but the psu is stronger tho its lower wattage so when you upgrade you need to upgrade that probably as well. It's really not that much more expensive...and I upgraded your CPU....that little bit of extra push for your cpu intensive work like rendering and editing will show then.

This verison is just a little bit more expensive and when you go this route if you decide to upgrade your video card and cpu you wont have to upgrade the PSU.

 

Overall the choice is yours.

Usage: Gaming

- Games: I would like to be able to run World of Tanks, Skyrim, Hitman Absolution, and other similarly demanding games at 1080p, 50+ FPS, high-maximum settings,

 

Budget: I would prefer the computer to stay under $700, but if needed I can increase my budget to $750-$800.

 

Location: USA

 

Preferred merchants: Best Buy, Amazon, Newegg, NCIX US.

 

I do not need a keyboard, mouse, or monitor included as I already have the three.

 

Color scheme: Black and Blue.

 

CPU Preference: Intel.

 

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

oh man thats tight especially for the rendering and editing.

 

here read this article its pretty damn close to what you want to do...http://www.techbuyersguru.com/budgetgamer.php

If you've previously won the build off please pm me so we can get something worked out.

LOL, you want to video edit and game on an intel build under $700.

Video editing is fine with an i5 but an i7 is where it's at, if I were you, I'd wait for Broadwell which is being release @ Q3 or Q4 of this year. There's going to be consumer/enthusiast chips with 6 and 8 cores. Video editing will definitely benefit from this. $700 is almost at the sweet spot for a good gaming PC/recording PC. I'd say around $1200 would be decent.

6 core maybe for that price range would eat half of his budget....8 cores damn near 1000 USD for just a chip

Rendering is fine it just will be slow...editing is fine too as long as you don't use intensive RAM usage programs. Actually its a pretty good base computer to upgrade from there on...honestly I could help you get a good base computer to start on then upgrade it as time progresses (at least that is how I would do it).

I thought that the manufacturing process was going to be way cheaper and they'll be using less silicon since the chips are smaller. But I guess, just wait and see.

If you are deadset on Intel and willing to spend more.
 
Both are flawed with the use of single-channel memory, but you can get another 8GB DIMM and make it 16GB dual channel.

The 760 is overpriced as balls and inferior to the similarly priced competition. If he wants to stay within the budget, he would have a better chance with an R9 270X/R9 280.

Nope been reading articles about it non stop USD is set to 1000 dollars for 8 core and 450-500 on 6 cores.

I agree with this and his builds tho for what you are doing since you don't have the RAM power I would go for the AMD build and take use of the cores rather then the ram.

Wow...... that's pricey.

 

Yep....on top of that DDR4 is coming out so they will probably be optimizing it for that if I had to guess which is going to make the motherboards and DDR4 go thru the roof....new builds on the new platforms are going to be quiet spendy. And while the margin of processing power for the RAM is increased....I will be soaking up the benefits of DDR3 prices dropping and sticking 32 gigs in my system, while people are trying to come up with enough money for 8 gigs of the new stuff.... :lol:

Make sure you post it back here...also stick with a XFX or a EVGA power supply as they are tier 1 & 2 material...which will give your system a nice clean draw for the pretty electronics inside it. :lol: And also mostly defiantly get the 2x4 GB as it will put less stress on your RAM, making it perform better.

Are you going to have enough room with the operating system taking up most of that drive? Also we can see if we can do a little better.
