Build help

[Cookiecrumbles222]

Hay guys doing another build. This one is for my friend. He has a budget of 700$ and he wants to include a monitor if possible. The purpose of the build is for music editing/creating. He will be doing gaming, but only csgo so no high end graphics card needed. (he wants at least 70 fps while playing). He says he will be running music studio at high load. So i was thing about a build with and i7 1 terra storage a cheep cd drive and 500w ps and some low end graphics card. Thanks for all the help guys ill be active in the comments so if you have a quiston dont be afraid to ask.

Get him a 6700K and he's set. The iGPU is plenty for CS:GO.

i'm gonna pitch something in the GTX950-960 or 380x range, a xeon (because cheaper i7) and a system designed for silence because music produciton.

 

i'll drop in a build later if i dont get ninja'd.

appareantly the 6700K is still stupid expensive...

EDIT: @The Official Czex opinions?

[Cookiecrumbles222]

Hay guys I used all the combos from the last post and created this build. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Qg6m6h Does it look Good The MAIN purpose is music. They want to edit music at a very heavy rate and have the best possible sound quality for a 700$ build. He is a professional music editor that makes remixes and songs.The secondary purpose is csgo, but that is very easy to run.

i might be able to down grade the gc and up the case thoe.

Something like this would be good: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/tYss99

What about the fans, and i would suggest getting a hyper 212 evo heatsink, with my setup my cpu temp dropped 18 degrees, also 8gb of ram is good enough you don't necessarily need 16

[Cookiecrumbles222]

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Qg6m6h is this good

What I suggested above would be better. If your friend is just playing csgo, a 960 is overkill.

ya, but the main purpose is music editing and creation not csgo. and also is the xeion relible for high preformence

A 960 is no better for music editing than any other graphics card.

The xeon is easily better than the 8320 and is likely more reliable being rated for 24/7 usage.

so you think that its fine to run csgo at 60+ fps with an intergrated. and do music editing just souly on the cpu

The iGPU wouldn't be appropriate for playing csgo. Go with a dedicated graphics card.

for 700 with a monitor..thats basically a 500$ pc

so your friend is gonna have to increase his budget if he wants to play games at those settings

The price seems malleable considering that the OP is posting build links that break $700. 

--but considering $700, maybe this would be more appropriate: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3rdgkL
