Over Kill?

Is this overkill for content creation

more ram, less gpu. I'd say a 780ti is enough. Also, a 5930/5820 will probably be enough aswell.

Depends. What kind of content creation are you doing?

[RelentlessAF]

Posting twice is also overkill ahahha...ha... but anyway, it depends on the type of content you are making. If you are making short half hour 1080p videos than yeah but if you are working in 3D rendering and with 4K content than no.

[tobben]

can't tell whether if it's overkill or not before knowing what it's actually going to be used for...  it's horrible value for the money regardless.

How so?

Probably isn't really overkill than.

the X99-Deluxe has a non standard 2011-3 socket, if you insert a CPU into it, intel will void your cpu warranty. I thought you might want to know

[blaster59687]

16 GB for 5960X? wot?

Dont need much more

[helping]

1000 dollar CPU

using an h100

Do i need much more keeps the temps cool

[helping]

Do i need much more keeps the temps cool

no, it will probably keep it cool

 

but when you're spending this much I don't understand why you would settle for that

should never jump the boat on top of the line brand new hardware, unless you just absolutely love throwing money out the window,  300+$ for 16 GB ram?getting 4GB sticks is a bad idea, you might just end up throwing them away when the time comes, and a thousand dollar cpu? how about a 2p xeon system instead.

[blaster59687]

it gets the job done and i don't see why i would spend THAT much more money for a few degrees cooler

[blaster59687]

780ti in my opinon dosent have enough ram i'd rather go with a 780 6GB

Too small capacity SSD and HDD for that type of build imo.

Hey blaster59687,

 

Since you are going to work with larger files and do some heavier editing and content creation, as @Luke suggested, I would say that you need more space. WD Black drives are great for gaming and heavier workloads, but if you are going for a heavy-duty PC, I could suggest you also look at WD VelociRaptor and WD Xe (I've put links at the bottom) or maybe consider a RAID option for better performance (RAID 0 maybe) with multiple drives. Working with large files could easily fill your SSD so you should be able to work with heavy stuff also from your HDD.

Hope this helps,

 

Captain_WD.

use 32 gb for that to be real over kill

It's not overkill but rather a waste of money, even with 3D modeling
