Best Or Bust (You Decide)

[ItWasEnder]

?Best?

This is going to be my Gaming/Recording/Editing build. But I need some input on if this is Best /or\ Bust details are down below. The case is staying, and the CPU is not something I know how to pick, right now I will not go over $1100. So if your have any recommendations please post a comment on what would be efficient or if I picked something that can't be over clocked etc.

You'd find this much more enjoyable,for recording and editing.

Bust.

 

The motherboard is WAAAAAAY too expensive for what you need. Bumb it down to a z97-a. The 970 doesn't make a lot of sense either, the r9 390 is a better card and it will also perform better in video editing. That power supply is terrible, with this kind of budget you should get something that is at least 80+ gold rated from a reliable brand. Why is there no ssd? It is ESSENTIAL on a build of this scale. You may also want more than 8gb of ram if you do a lot of editing, but that can be added later.

[ThinkWithPortals]

will not go over $1000.

 

 

 Build is $1099.61

WAT?!

You went over his budget by $100 Even he did, BIG RED LETTER "WILL NOT"

Read the other posts. The budget is $1100.

[FakezZ]

Yeah I went 100 bucks over just like he did. I thought it was a typo or something.

[App4that]

Take the money from the mobo and get a liquid cooler and WD Black HD. And follow the advice on GPU.

$300 is a waste. Spend no more the. $120

That motherboard is a pure waste of your money. It won't give you ANY extra performance at all. None. Zip. Unless you're going to do ln2 overclocking that motherboard doesn't make any sense. Get a z97-a. Of course the 970 will work fine, but why get the worse solution if given the option? And everything you buy will be at constant risk of being killed by a surge if you don't get a better power supply. You have been warned.

ok, and I am terrible at picking motherboards, video cards, and cpu's 

[App4that]

So spend it on better parts that will improve your performance.

 

EDIT, you picked the right CPU.

Even for LN2 its pointless, best board for overclocking for Z97 is the ASRock OC Formula.

Better choice on the mobo, I'd still swap out that HD. Don't go cheap on the HD.

Don't go with Corsair on the PSU choice especially with the CX series as they're terrible for their price (heating issues)

A Xeon E3 would be better for handling the multi-threaded applications you might use
