Hi . I would like  some advise... Currently i am rebuilding my PC to have a beast machine.
I have posted a list of item to witch i wanted to update but i re considered to what i want to update to the options for motherboard and CPU are

 

A.ASUS Maximus V Formula Socket and an Intel Core i7 3770K Ivy Bridge

 

B.ASUS ROG Maximus VI Extreme and Intel Core i7-4770K

 

i know thet the option B .. will be more of a pricy build:)

 

Considering that it is a long term Build .. i want Quality parts and to have a reliable system and future proof for at least 3-4 years.

A bit about the things i am doing on my pc.. hope that this will be helpful for you to understand why i want to build a similar machine 

I am working as a designer and i use a lot Photoshop and Cinema 4d to create my artwork. and when i have spear time i game also.

like wise i enjoy to tinker around whit  the settings to get better performance.

 

thank you in advance!

best regards Gabriel.

I think I would go with the new platform, but I might look around for some of the other motherboards. I think some of the deluxe or workstation boards has more features usefull to you from a productive standpoint. But I havent read enough about the new chipset or boards to say for certain though. But I think it would be worth it to you to have a look at. :)

 

If you are into watercooling, then the new maximus VI formula has g1/4 threads for watercooling fittings, which I think is cool.

 

oh, and I hope you know that there is no such thing as future proofing a pc, especially when you say 3-4 years, thats a long time. I know what you mean by it though, but as I said, 3-4 years is a long time in this business!

(Comming soon)

Have you considered LGA2011 for your build since your primary use is Photoshop and 3D modelling? Something like a 3930K (or depending on when you want to get this system up and running, Ivy Bridge-E or even Haswell-E) would be quite a lot better than a 3770K/4770K.

Desktop: Intel Core i7-5820K, Corsair H115i, Asus X99-Deluxe/USB 3.1, G.Skill Ripjaws4 32GB 2800MHz CL16, Zotac RTX 3070, Samsung 950 Pro 512GB in Angelbird Wings PX1, Samsung 850 EVO 1TB, 5*Seagate 12TB, Cooler Master V1200, Phanteks Enthoo Luxe, Windows 10 Pro. Phillips 328P6VUBREB, Corsair Vengeance K95 RGB Cherry MX Brown, Logitech G502 X Plus, Sennheiser HD700.

Wait a lil more, I'm building a new pc as well and I decided to wait. New intel's x99 chipset and Haswell-E comes out very soon as well as GTX 760 Ti. 

Finishing up my build...

i7-3770k or 4770k is enough for photo editing, LGA2011 will be overkill for what he want.

You'll be waiting for a LONG time. Ivy Bridge-E is expected soon. Haswell-E is due for late 2014!

 

i7-3770k or 4770k is enough for photo editing, LGA2011 will be overkill for what he want. 

I suggested it for the Cinema 4D use, which is a 3D modelling application, and will definitely benefit from LGA2011. Regardless, he said he can't afford it.

Haswell-E is expected for Q3 or Q4 2014.

I think with a 4770k he will be satisfied.

my budget i somewhere like 2000-2200$ USD maximum.. yes i have considered LGA 2011 and i am still thinking on it cause i would have 64Gb instead of 32Gb .. but i don't know what is the future of that socket.. and LGA2011 prices in Romania are high...

and considering that is a long term build anything could happen :rolleyes: 

i thin that the  ASUS ROG Maximus VI Extreme and Intel Core i7-4770K with a decent overclock could hit a LGA 2011 performance...

:wacko:  :blink:  some times is tough to make a choice and possibly the best one :rolleyes:

I think that the Maximus VI Extreme is a waste of money but its a nice  overclocker mobo but i think that the EXTREME version is about 3-way Graphics card configuration also and more than 2-way with that CPU does not scale well, i rather go with the Maximus VI Hero

The thing is That i don't want to make compromise in teams of extensions. I have taken a look at the Maximus VI Hero but its not available yet fro me @my supplier this is why it was left out from my choice.

Thanx for the advice tough

Hi all. I have done a lot of thinking and a i have made the choice , so i have re considered  LGA 2011 but the price tag fore a reasonable processor is like i7-3930K costs 730$ (USD) and the motherboard 511$ ASUS Rampage IV Extreme(USD) and i wont have like 4 graphics cards(dough i started bit-coin mining) . Si the option B.  ASUS ROG Maximus VI Extreme @497$(USD) and Intel Core i7-4770K @ 334$(USD)  is the winning solution for me:) and i will be in budget to by some SSD and a larger storage device. and yeah i get a the cool  OC Panel.

 

Thank you all for the feedback .. and looking fourth to see you on my build log  @ http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/21920-nox-hummer-thedesignerninjapc/#entry272949

 

:lol:  :ph34r:

lga2011 is more expensive, but you really dont have to get the most expensive motherboard for it, something half the price is good.. :) (ok, maybe not half the price, I dont know, but cheaper atleast..)

Yeah.... that is true but i say .. if i will buy components i will buy quality components.. don't want to end up whit some surprise like whit my current video card.. or power supply... i don't know yet... but i am having Coil noise from somewhere,

i am suspicious o these cause when i start gaming the noise is poping-up...  and i will be moving to move together whit my GF... and shee dose not like any annoying sound....so i have to have a silent PC...     (sorry if i went a bit off topic)

fair enough, still you dont have to get the most expensive for the best quality..

Yes .. true .. but would like to have something unique whit this build like the Oc panel.. and another factor is that ASUS- includes a lot of fan control options:) and .. the colors will look grate whit my chase Black and white interior. so it will be a Black - white - red

re to Winther  you where right with 2011.. @ work i got a new Haswell core i5 4670K and 8GB of RAM but.. fore a work station.. it sux.. so whit the extra work.. some extra income is due ... so i will go for 2011 ... there is no comparison when u have More RAM and have  lot's of processing power! :D  :lol:  :P  :ph34r: 

 So verdict is the following

SSD Intel 335 2.5 SATA3 180GB 25nm MLC + Phobya Flex-light install white  Friday (this weekend)

and RAMPAGE IV EXTREME + i7 4820K @ x-mas.. i was a good boy  ^_^  ^_^  :)  ;)

Hi .. i'm back .. and have a question for you guys ....

 

I didn't have time to post on the forum, this due to a tone of work that i had ..

I have decided that i will go for more a workstation build so i will go with a 2011 socket Motherboard (RAMPAGE IV BLACK EDITION and Intel® Core™ i7-4820K Processor )

i am considering having 2x video cards 770 or 780  and having 64 gigs of ram

 

 

i have a corsair H110 cooler waiting for install and have like 4 fans +led strip in the chase.

I was thinking to get a Corsair RM 1000W to power the system but i don't know if it will be enough.

 

Could you Guys let me know if this will be enough?? Comment freely on this!

thanks! :ph34r:  :D  :)
