Need advice on cpu

AMDs Opteron CPUs are for workstations but I would not even consider them "Prosumer". Unlike Xenons. But an i7 will give you the best all round performance for what you need. Personally I would not go near the 5820k based on these RESULTS.

CPUBoss (or GPUBoss) is literally the most unreliable comparison site. Ask anyone else on the forum, it is heavily misleading and it should not be used at all. The 5820K, has two extra cores for workstation applications and has similar performance in gaming when overclocked to a OC 6700K.

I have never herd of the AMD Opteron, thought they where all about this fx thing or piledriver hoosist, is that AMD processor not comercial grade or something ? sorry Im a real curious type of girl lol

Holy Unicorn farts and lepricorn hairs that's one pricey cpu, most likely overkill lmao, however I suppose I could just not buy my parts for an extra month if I really did feel I needed it haha, thanks anyways

did i read your post wrong i was thinking that the 1200 to 1300 euro was for the cpu alone so that was what i picked

lol sorry maybe I should have stated clearly, the 1200-1300 (gbp btw not euro) was for the entire build cost, case and gpu etc

my bad sorry the i7 5820k is great too i was just looking at the budget and misunderstood

Ohh... really? Crap. I've been using this bullshit site all my life.

no no no dont worry its all my fualt its ok, I most likely should have made it more clear.

My recommendation. I'll admit that I had to cut down the SSD capacity to maintain budget constraints, otherwise this build will simultaneously handle gaming and workstation applications great.

would these part's work ok in a InWin 904+ ? also no need to worry about the 1TB WD hardrive, I am allready running 2 WD Black 6TB HDD's so I wil probs just put that extra cash toward a bigger SSD to run as a main drive, but thanks anyways ^^

Don't think the CPU cooler will fit. This is a good alternative: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/be-quiet-cpu-cooler-bk002

Ok thanks very much, this flat design shouldnt get in the way of the ram though Im guessing? that's probably a stupid question to ask lol

No, AFAIK it shouldn't be incompatible with the RAM.

Okey Pokey, cheer's would be a pain in the butt if I got it and was like "aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh crud" cus it edged out the closest ram slot lol

Find a cheap dual socket board and get 2 of these. Adobe Premiere can take advantage of a Xeon phi as well, there is a cheap model around $300ish.

Ok Bookmarked thanks, suprised to not see a single amd entry here to be honest, I suppose maybe they dont fit into the workstation whole thing well, quite intresting none the less

AMD CPUs are perfect for a budget build, since you can almost always get overclockability, 4-8 cores, and high default operating frequencies on most CPUs, at an extremely low price. But the temps, and single-core performance, are the greatest, if not the only, drawback in any given AMD CPU, as benchmarks confirm this - even a Pentium can beat the AMD flagship FX-series CPU the FX-8350, with outstanding ease.

 

But when it comes to workstation-grade performance, you don't look at tight budgets... you tend to max out your system hardware. That's where Intel comes in, with a hefty price tag which is perfectly fine, as you get just what you pay for... Intel dominates the above-average builds' CPU market, and probably even the SSD market!
