Decent First Rig

[Jonnysweb]

Hi Guys,

This is my first build and I need a PC that can edit and render videos smoothly and quickly as well as game at 60fps 1080p preferably.

Thanks

I would ditch the additional 8 gb stick and maybe the sound card and add an ssd

[Toddwjp]

ditch the sound card get a better gpu, like a 770 2gb or 280x

 

drop the 3rd 8gb stick

 

and use that cash to get a good cpu cooler so you can overclock a little bit

Yep do this^

 

Soundcards really arn't worth it and alot of the time you wont hear a difference.

What cooler do you recommend

[Toxic Tom]

I really don't think you need that much ram, or a soundcard.

[Toddwjp]

What cooler do you recommend

 

either a noctua air cooler or a AIO water cooler like a cosair h75 or h60

- I would recommend getting a 990FW motherboard with the FX-8350 over 970

- Ditch the 8GB kit

- Ditch the sound card

- get the CS550M instead for semi-modular and an overall stronger PSU

- With the saved money with the memory/sound card I recommend getting either an R9 280 or 280x
