What are you posting about?
 
I need help/opinions building my first computer. I don't know a whole lot

about different parts and funcionality, so I'm pretty much just going off videos,

what people say, other builds and listening to pcpartpicker if it tells me my parts

won't work. So any and all input is highly appreciated.

 

What do you want it to do?

I want to be able play most games at high settings, I do NOT want

to overclock, and I want the ability to graphic design or video edit.

4k compatibility would be nice, though not a main concern.

I also would like this build to last me awhile without having to

upgrade much.

What's your budget?

I'd like to stick around 2k but I am flexible if it's really worth it.

What do you have so far?

So here are my builds I've put together so far. I'd like to know

which one I should pick and/or how I could improve it.

(P.S. If I go with the Gtx980, I may get a second one in the future for SLI but wouldn't with the Radeon)

 

Thanks!

Thank you so much for helping me! Much appreciated. Also.. I'm really new at this, I did follow my own post, but what exactly does that do?

It sends you notifications of ppl who posted in your thread

This can be useful when you're viewing other posts/topic/threads in the Forum

 

Edit: You're welcome

Edit 2: I know the builds i posted are good, but if you had a little more budget i would go for a 8-10 core Xeon (and upgrade it in 3-4 years) to have more horsepower when rendering and video editing

For now, how should I choose between the Intel Xeon E5-2620 and the Intel Core i7-5820K?

I just went to http://ark.intel.com and compared both cpus.

 

The advantage of the Xeon is that it has 40 PCI-e lines and consumes less power, although the core clock is kinda low and has a high price

The advantage of the 5820k is the overclocking capability (you can improve performance with it), but has a higher TDP and less PCI-e lines, 28 to be exact. low price

 

Though decision, but i will go 5820k, (not sure about what others would say)

 

Make sure to watch @LinusTech new vid on overcloking the 5820K

 

PS: I know that you don't want to OC, but at least you should try it, it would be a great experience, i never done that cuz i own a laptop... Also if you're going build the PC, you will love it :D
