mother of god the  unbalance.

 

 

32gigabytes of ram? are you a workstation professional?

LOL! I need that for rendering.

[TechSage]

Good choice of graphics card with 4 GB VRAM. I see everyone making the same mistake. Why would you get a 2 GB card when games like Crysis use more than 2 GB at 1080p? Some people say that by the time the 4GB VRAM is used up, the GPU will be at it's limit, but in that case you can just add another card. So VRAM will never be an issue for you buddy. 

 

About the 32GB RAM....are you setting up a RAMDisk or just bragging rights?

[KneesWeak]

for gaming get a 4670k 8-16 gb of ram, a gtx 780 3gb+ and an hx750 would probably be a better choice for a fully modular psu

LOL! I need that for rendering.

Why not LGA2011 then?

[TechSage]

LOL! I need that for rendering.

 

LOL! I need that for rendering.

Then get a 3930K so you have 6 Cores/12 threads....That's more useful than 32GB Ram

[Haazo]

Yea I forgot to mention, the RAM is for rendering, and I decided to go with 4770K for Video editing and that combined with the GTX 770 for 3d modelling. and gaming is an addition.

That's an extra $200. 

[CoolBeans]

Unless you are doing really heavy video editing you won't need 32gb of ram also get a 780, it will help with rendering.

[WildTurtle]

If your going to render and do 3d modelling, go on LGA2011 and get the 3930k.

[Haazo]

with 3930k and lga 2011 mobo, the total goes up to $2197, Im not sure about that price, I might do it, but with tax and shipping, its $2518!!!

[TechSage]

That's an extra $200. 

 

That's an extra $200. 

but he's spending so much on the RAM

 

Edit: Around $300 for 32GB RAM.

no. you don't.

 

youtube rendering is retarded. you don't need to run uncompressed files, you don't need to record raw. so you won't work with 32GB of ram. at most you'd deal with 16GB. you'd easily get away with 8.

 

 

and if you do any REAL rendering. as in 3d workstation style work you wouldn't even want to look at haswell. you'd want sandybridge-e or ivybridge-e. which means a 3930k and quite a bit more money. and you wouldn't want a gtx card. you'd want a quadro card. an h100i, for what? someone that does rendering won't be overclocking their processor. besides, if you're already spending 300$ on ram you may as well get a custom loop.

The RAM is listed at DDR3-2400, although it will run at DDR3-2133 at the fastest due to motherboard/CPU IMC limitations. That is still way faster than the RAM kit you chose, for basically the same price, so if you choose to use this RAM kit on another motherboard, it will perform better than other kits in the same price range. Also, at DDR3-2133, you may be able to run it at tighter timings to achieve the same latency as CL10 DDR3-2400 speeds anyway.

 

Also, since you are lucky enough to be in Canada, take advantage of the fact that you are allowed to purchase a Swiftech H220 still.

 

Windows 8 is getting better too, and when Windows 8.1 comes out as a free upgrade, you can have the fastest boot times (boot straight to desktop), and the best software optimization available.

Cut the RAM to 16Gb you probably won't be needing that much for rendering.

WIth that money, you can get a 3930X. the cores will help

I'm trying to get all my parts from one place, I would like to checkout on one site.

Maybe squeeze in a GTX 780 if possible

You can buy everything except the H220 cooler off NCIX Canada for $1890.16, $60.65 more than if you mixed it up, but it's up to you. You can purchase an H100i from them too for $119.99 extra.

I put those items in my cart and the total came out to $1945.16 CDN without the H100i.

[WoodenMarker]

What kind of rendering are you doing and how heavy or intense is it? 16gigs is already plenty unless you're doing some hefty renders.

1080p with lots of effects on AE, the ram is also for AE RAM Previews.

Guys thnx for the help, i think i know wat im getting now.

Right, but that's excluding rebates. Anyways, what's wrong with saving >$60 by ordering through 3-4 sites?

Then just put all of that stuff on a wishlist on the cheapest site (there is a compare feature that shows how much everything would cost at a specific site)

 

And also you should get that build he said, it will be way better than the one you had
