Hello,

 

Im a student and i program and develop ALOT, sometimes stuff takes way longer to compile and debegging is a problem etc, etc. I want to build a pc that is superfast and silent,along with power efficiency regardless of budget. currently i am planning to go with:

 

Processor: i7 4820k

MotherBoard: z97 deluxe asus

RAM: 16GB ddr3 of any brand

Storage: Samsung 850 Pro 1TB, 850 Evo 1TB

Graphics: Some graphic card that supports 4k resolution (any suggestions??)

PowerSupply: 600Watt with 80+ gold and above (any suggestions??)

 

now i dont any sort of experience with how to make this build silent..any coolers would greatly be appreciated.

 

Thanks

4820 and z97 is a big nono.

You need a 2011 mobo for that chip.

Well the 4820K is a last gen Ivy-E part on LGA2011-2 so I assume you mean 4790K (which is fine).

 

Z97 deluxe probably not necessary here... look for something a bit cheaper like the Z97-A.

An I7 is more than needed for programming.

I currently have first gen i5 760 and my cpu usage is 100% when compiling...so what do u recommend??

I use a i5-4670 and my CPU is at a max of 75% when i compile programs and do other things on my system. So a 4670 or a 4690k.

are you serious? this is like most people on here dream, kid in a candy shop thing, building a high end computer and budget don't matter?

 

you must have some kind of budget? or preferences, like form factor, storage space needed, colour scheme, any prefered manufactures?

was all have different ideas and need a bit more information so we can recommend something that is close, also your location country so we can recommend a dealer or store to get components from.

 

well i will give you a little idea of what i think would be a good rig as i do a little bit of code myself and my bro is a programmer so we build computers and love it.

for the start a works / programming computer is way different than a gamer / entertainment computer, however some of the principles are simular.

everyone wants speed. and everything comes with a trade off, more speed more heat etc.

 

I would recommend a few of the following:

Intel X99 chipset m/board in ATX or M-atx if you want a smaller compact power house build.

Intel 6 or 8 core i7 2011v3 cpu

120 gig as min, 240 gig ideal SSD or M.2 SSD (better option on a new build nowadays) for operating system. (maybe both if you have multiple O/S)

quality hard drives or a pci-e SSD type card for main works hard drive, even a SSHD (hybrid) would work to save cost, you would need a 1TB or more unless you plan to keep lots of back ups and then you could just go with a pci-e SSD card with 480 gig.

nice case with option to line it with soundproof foam sheet or just a quiet case (windows are nice but not needed)

good quality aftermarket all in one sealed liquid cooler (single or duel is better) also you can swap out the fans to better ones to save noise.

optical drive / blu-ray player is nice to have.

good graphics card with lots of onboard memory (4gig or more) a Titan would also be a good work station GPU. or a Mars with 2x gpu's on one card. for quiet and effecient a Strix 970 would also do and if needed get another later on and go sli.

lots of fast quality memory that works well with the m/board and is futureproof, 16 gig is min and 32 gig is ideal.

power supply, lots out there, just get something quiet, enough power and good build quality.

extra fans and some lighting etc if you like to display the components.

a good comfy keyboard and mouse is recommended (look at the new microsoft split / curved keyboard)

a 24" 1080p monitor LCD LED with 5ms or less responce time is a must. you can also go bigger or get 2 of the same. i thing duel 24" setup would be best.

 

i am sure i have missed some stuff but thats the basics, you need fast quiet interfaces, reliable components.

i can make a build if you liek, some kind og budget would help, unlimited is just to good to be true. haha

hope this helps

got to love Asus components

ok so since u mentioned about the budget its around 8~10k dollars..why?? i worked as counsellor and earned handsome amount which i saved for 4 years..now the time has come to spend it all as i have started to do insane programming, java phython c# and insane linux usage almost..i dont wanna build to game..productivity is main concern..imagine running two OS'es side by side and requring everything in a jiffy..i recently bought a 4k monitor and i just need a PC..install it with a$$ kicking components that will make my current work easier and fly.hope this clearifies

As someone with a $10,000+ build... don't do it.

 

For what you're doing, get a single 970, a 5820k, 32/64GB of RAM, and a few SSDs... I can't see a need to spend more than $5,000 on a programming build.

The projects never end in my line of work.
