[Rai Nicholas]

Hello all. I'm new to the forums and i'm having a bit of  a issue with the build i'm about to do. I'm going to be building a work station for my heavy workload of video editing, Photo Editing, 3D rendering and audio work as well, But i also want to do some gaming while on my down time or while something renders. 

 

with all of that in my head i went over to micro center and i told them the parts i wanted and made two different list of Parts to go for and i would like to share this list and see if i can get some opinions and Ideas from others.

Welcome to the forums!

 

For heavy work, I'd think #1 with a GTX 960 would do. See what @Prastupok has to say.

 

You're still gonna need DDR$ and X99 for #2's CPU. Get a 4790K and it'll work.

Thanks for the reference, dadasmithywinkle.

 

Rai Nicholas, first, there is no point in going to a 5930k unless you're going to be dropping in a bunch of addin cards. They overclock to the same, and it's still a 6 core (the 5820k).

 

Second, are you getting paid for this work, or is it just a personal "I like to mess around with this stuff"? If it's the former, OK, but if the latter, X99 isn't needed. For a dual slot board, you better have a big budget... mine was over 12 grand, not including peripherals.

 

So, what applications do you use?

Well to answer the second question first, I'm a free lance Videographer, Photographer, which is what's helping me to make this build a possible thing for me to go do. As for the Applications i use they are. Sony Vegas Pro 13,Sony sound forge pro 11,Sony DVD Architect Pro,Adobe Photoshop CC,Adobe After Effects CC,Adobe Lightroom 5, FL Studios / fruity loops Stuidos ,Blender, Davinci resolve and aside from that i do have a small list of third part effects for both Sony Vegas Pro 13 & Adobe After Effects CC. 

 

would you recommend me to go for the 5820k over the 5930K? and what would be a good motherboard to house the 5820k and be able to expand on RAM if needed?
