My first PC Build (:

[S1L3nT]

Hi guys I'm planning to build my very first pc on my own. I want it to be kinda future proof gaming/light editing PC. Here are the parts I'm gonna throw at it. If anything wrong or any better suggestions please reply (:

 

Mobo:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D12OBEU/ref=ox_sc_act_title_8?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

CPU:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CO8TBQ0/ref=ox_sc_act_title_6?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

RAM:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006EWUO22/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

GPU:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008Y65MUA/ref=ox_sc_act_title_5?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

PSU:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00918MEZG/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

SSD:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009NHAF06/ref=ox_sc_act_title_7?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

 

So what you guys think ? Remember I'm on budget 1000~1300$

What case are you building in? :o

[Nicktrance]

I think this should have gone in the build logs section.

 

You'd probably be better off getting a 4670K and a better GPU (maybe HD 7950/7970 or GTX 670 if you really want to go nVidia for some reason) instead, other that that good choices :).

He might be editing videos thats why he needs the i7. Also the 660ti boost isnt a horrible card. Just my thoughts :)

[SMURG]

is 120GB really enough for you O_o

[sabot]

I think that 16gb of ram is overkill for a gaming machine. I would change it to 8gb and get a amd 7950 for a gpu. I also would upgrade and get an Asus Rog mobo the maxiumus vi it is 229 but has better gaming features and overclocking abilities.

[S1L3nT]

Ops sorry forgot the case thanks. http://www.amazon.com/CM-Storm-Enforcer-Computer-Windowed/dp/B004WK3KKQ/ref=sr_1_16?m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1371428697&sr=1-16

 

 

I decided i7 because of 8 threads. Better for editing. What about the MSI GTX 770? the G-series one would match the mobo perfectly. The thing is that I don't have that much money xD

Note how he said "light editing" and "futureproof (meaning he wants a good graphics card) gaming".

 

Meaning the post below IS correct.

Switch to a 4670k since you're doing light editing. 

The 770 equates to and performs slightly better than a GTX 680. -> And will better "future proof" (Even though you can't really "future proof" a computer)

[S1L3nT]

is 120GB really enough for you O_o

I've got the WD 3TB HDD

[melchiorvester]

Maybe a better GPU and an HDD?

Yea but will it handle Adobe's CS6? Some HD video editing in After Effects. What about the case or the other parts? will they work fine? :)

Ah okay, got it ^^

I think GTX 670 and 770 got almost the same price tag maybe 30~40$ difference and 770 would be better right?

If you plan on editing seriously,light or hardcore,you need a larger capacity storage medium.

I don't see any hard drive.

this leads me to believe that 

-A.you aren't serious about editing

-B.you have an HDD to use

-C.you have a NAS,external HDD

-D.you left it out of the links.

 

also I would advise you to go with a 256 bit or higher bandwidth graphics card.

 

I edit in CS6 After Effects and have tried premiere pro.

my experience is that it's gonna be relatively slow no matter what you throw at it because it's post processing.

 

rule of thumb:

 

i7

-long videos (8+ min) with some simple post processing effects

-long videos (8+ min) with quite a bit of complex post processing effects

-short videos (<4 min) with quite a bit of complex post processing effects

-short videos (<4 min) with some simple post processing effects.

-complex/hard to work with formats (i.e. R3D,DV,AVCHD)

-work mandated time constraints that may benefit from significantly shorter render times

 

i5

-short videos with quite a bit of complex post processing effects

-short videos with some simple post processing effects

-long videos (8+ min) with some simple post proccessing effects

-less complex,less taxing formats (i.e.MP4,M4V,WMV)

 

this same rule of thumb applies to whether you choose an i7 lga 1155 or lga 2011,though with lga 2011 the videos get longer,more complex post processign effects,or shorter/more strict time constraints imposed on you.

Thanks for your advise and I'm sorry that I forgot to write that I got the 3TB WD HDD (: So which parts should I change?

[Nicktrance]

Yes but if I had to recommend a card for your price range it would be the HD 7970 since it offers more bang for the buck, it's almost as good as a 770 but costs about as much as a 670 and comes with a massive games bundle.

 

Also not sure if you plan to record games because if that's the case you might want to take a look at ShadowPlay feature from nVidia.

I'm kind of a nVidia fanboy :P but sure yeah I'm gonna do some gameplay videos :)

[SpenceSouth]

Go for a 7950 or 7970.  Great gaming cards that also absolutely kill Nvidia in OpenGL applications like Photoshop or Premiere Pro.

how about something like this?

awesome, maybe 2133mhz ram better? will it make any difference in rendering or gaming? 

[mvitkun]

in rendering it could.....but considering the cheapest CL9 16GB kit of 2133 mhz ram is $80 more I'd say it's not worth it,only reason I picked the gskill 1866 was it was dirt cheap and it went with the gigabyte motherboard's blue accents,and the blue accents on the videocard,since it seemed you wanted a themed build

cool but as I said that I've got the 3TB HDD already means that I don't need 1TB one(-69$) so, http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/

would be better I think. I checked benchmarks of gtx 670 and 770 and the difference worth the +40$

If you are going to be editng definitely go for a Nvidia GPU. Most video editing programs can make use of Nvidia CUDA to accelerate encoding, OpenGL acceleration(AMD) is not that wide spread right now. 
It does give a significant boost in encoding time especially if you are using CUDA compatible effects(Shading, color correction, etc.).

You do not really need that much power from a GPU for it. My 660Ti works great.

My Amazon shopping card hits 1400$ with shipping. I will update it to lower the price a lil. here are the screens
