first pc buil

[Sukka38]

so I asked for a budget pc and someone recommended this http://pcpartpicker.com/p/vs7B7P but I did not realize that it was pound and not euros/dollars. So my question is what can I do to lower the price on this build. I thought maybe a worse gpu (nvidia)

[Pugs501]

What is your budget?

What is the planned uses of this build?

[ZetZet]

What was your budget again?

[Sukka38]

my budget is 600 euros or dollars does not matter. I want to use this pc  for gaming (medium to high setting) and editing (rendering, after effects, photoshop,sony vegas,..)

 

I will do more editing than gaming because I play on an console, but I will play games aswell on the pc

You can get a hybrid drive for those couple of euros, it will definitely feel nicer.

I couldn't get in 16 gb of ram and you can possible get 12 gb ram for a less powerful gpu. But it will let you play most games at high-ultra and minimum if medium settings. (on 1 1080p monitor)

[Sukka38]

does the motherboard support usb 3.0? 

can you change the gpu to a nvidia with the same price and performance as the r9 280

He said he will do more editing/work than gaming so why did you go with an i5 over 8320?

The 8320 is better at editing and will probably fit him better..

If it was the other way around that he did more gaming than editing then sure the i5 would be better.

And I have heard that the asus version of 280(x) is not good compared to the other because they didn't change much/at all from the 7870 or whatever it is from.

I do not like AMD

I didn't go anything I changed what he already had so it would fit his budget.

the amd cpu looks better !! http://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare.php?cmp[]=1782&cmp[]=2017

[c0d0ps]

does the motherboard support usb 3.0? 

can you change the gpu to a nvidia with the same price and performance as the r9 280

That would be the gtx 760. I will do it asap.

I am not sure but I can look for it and change if you want.

[c0d0ps]

I would like to have Intel cpu 

I do not like AMD 

Are you sure?

You would get better performance with amd at this price point if you are mostly editing and stuff over gaming.

If you were only gaming it would be a different story ..

[c0d0ps]

Oh ok.

Well, do you agree with what I said or not?

[Sukka38]

I will do both. but editing maybe more and gaming I will do aswell (high end games)

[c0d0ps]

So you're ok with this one over the intel one?

This cpu is great for editing + gaming together.

But will get beaten by the intel cpu in some types of games but both are great.

[c0d0ps]

I will do both. but editing maybe more and gaming I will do aswell (high end games)

High end games usually/if not always are multi core friendly which means the 8320 will be able to use most if not all cores. Which makes it pretty strong.

[Sukka38]

That would be the gtx 760. I will do it asap.

I am not sure but I can look for it and change if you want.

please if you can look for it and change it please

would i see the difference 

[c0d0ps]

Yeah sure, here.

I am currently looking at the motherboard to see if it has usb 3.0

[c0d0ps]

would i see the difference 

If you want I can send you some bench marking comparisons and you can decide from there. 

But both would be perfectly playable. 

Especially in the newer games that are multi core optimized.

[Sukka38]

and also in noticed that 600 dollars makes 500 euros so i can put an extra 100 euro to it 

[Sukka38]

if you can please send it 

[ZetZet]

Oh ok.

Well, do you agree with what I said or not?

Not a fan of amd, only way they are faster is if you OC, which you need better motherboard, cooling AND psu for.

This has an nvidia equivalent to the 280 and usb 3.0 motherboard but it is over 600.
