High end gaming/editing PC build

[weyaye]

I'm building my very first high end Gaming PC over the next months.

I have completed my research and need a rough idea of what the final build will be like.

Here is the list of the things I wish to achieve with this build.

 

- Run all games I throw at it in 1080p @ Ultra Settings

- Run games in 4K

- Video editing in Sony Vegas/ Adobe photoshop

- Rendering in SourceFilmmaker/ other 3d programs

 

I'm giving myself a budget of £1500 excluding peripherals and copy of Windows.

 

Here is my build:

cpu: i7 4790k

cooler: Corsair h100i

mobo: Asus Z97-A

ram: Kingston HyperX Beast 32GB

hdd: Western Digital BLACK SERIES 2TB

gpu: GTX 980

psu: SeaSonic G-750 750W

 

Total: £1431.93

 

1) What do you think of this build? (Any improvements/ideas)

2) With the 980ti being rumored to come out soon will it be worth holding on until the release?

 

Thanks.

i can vouch for that cpu and gpu. they are excellent i have never had a problem with them the 980 handles 1080p like its nothing and the i7 can pull through anything and doesnt bottle neck

Wait a little bit because the 980Ti is coming soon

 

You should really get a SSD! The 850 EVO series are amazing, and cheap. Like $70 for 120gb or $100 for 250gb

Will the 980Ti be at the same price point or similar?

You want an SSD or two.

 

One for scratch disk perhaps, as this will be subject to lots of read/writes, and then another for programs + OS.

 

I think dropping to a 970 or even 290X, then adding an SSD or two, a cheaper but just as good air cooler, and a few other changes would be better.

Hey weyaye,

 

The plan seems pretty good and should meet your requirements. I would also go ahead and suggest that you add a SSD to the build as it would boost the computer's performance and overall responsiveness, decrease all loading times and boot time and bring great benefit to it. 

WD Black is a great choice for a HDD since it performs really good and you should be able to run games and programs off of it as well as work with files off of it.
