My computer

[SmackFPS]

So i'm a video editor and in my free time I enjoy gaming. My budget for the system is around $1000. I'm looking for a Intel processor and a GPU that is has great CUDA capabilities. 

 

Programs I use: 

- Premiere Pro 

- After Effects 

- Photoshop 

- Audition

- Illustrator 

- OBS 

- Sony Vegas 

 

Please keep in mind that i wish to play games on my three 1440p monitors and there is no need to include an operating system as I have a few windows licenses. The games I play are mainly FPS and MMO style games. 

As for storage I need SSD(s) to speed my boot/render times, and I need a scratch disk for my Adobe projects and a mass storage drive for my steam library. 

 

As for aesthetics a color scheme isn't really my thing but if anything I would like black and white. Also silence is key! 

 

Thanks and I hope someone here can take on this task!

Ummm, I'll do the best I can, but there's no way you can drive 3 1440p monitors at that pricepoint.

I have 1 Intel 730 240GB SSD and an old GTX 560ti But i would prefer a new GPU

I have the monitors already

 

EDIT: Sorry I read that wrong, lol

No, I mean with the graphics card, it doesn't have the sheer performance to do that. Nothing really does right now.

He meant use them, not like buy them. You need at least $2000 for triple 1440p. Keep in mind you will be using Titans for oyur needs

Ah, that sucks...

Well then as long as it can drive 1 1440p monitor in games ill be happy

No what he means is trying to build a PC powerful enough to run 3 monitors with gaming at decent framerates/settings will be VERY difficult with a 1k budget.

Unless you just use 1 for gaming. Then use all 3 when you are doing your editing, and productivity tasks.

100% unless you decide to use OpenCl instead of cuda

I don't think AE has support for OpenCL as of now. but if it did I heard the r9 290X cards are great

yes it does 

 

you just render in media encoder instead of in After effects itself

 

 

this is for Premier but same idea https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/system-requirements.html

@thekeemo's looks good, won't destroy games at 1440p but with the right settings you should get 60fps. 

Basically a copy of the one I was going to recommend, but mine had a 4790k and was closer to $1000

In all reality this computer is to increase productivity, as of now I'm working off of a pc with 4GB of DDR3 ram, a GTX 560ti and an AMD Athlon CPU
