Building a 4k setup for 2000, but i have questions..

[Guest]

Well, I was walking the other day and

I had an idea

instead of a 6 core rig and an expensive usb which is kinda crappy setup,...

maybe lower a bit and go from there...

I have a new build here, and if its good or not tell me please.

Is the recording side good or no?

I want to lower down to 2000, instead of 2.4k. help?

Peripherals on point?

Cpu and graphics on point?

any other small bones to pick please do so , i am desperate.

 

_-

edit should i also get a shock mount because of the unusual placement of the mic on that stand?

this is sad no one looked at this post...

Seems good enough for recording and gaming. You should be set to go!

A lot of it depends on what games you are going to play. I have a 31in 4k (4096*2160) monitor With two GTX 980 classifieds in sli i get around 55-75 fps in GTA 5 and about the same with BF4 on the 4k so if you're playing graphically intense games AND recording, maybe. You'll really be pushing it to get 30 fps in those games while not recording. In my opinion frame rate is more important than resolution. Also 4k on windows can be a real pain in the ass because most of the display scaling is horrendous.

alrigt then, is the setup partially better now?

[MooCow]

From what I've heard a 980ti should get you to around 4k 60fps in a lot modern games. What games specifically do you intend on playing? Do you mean recording for youtube or streaming for twitch or both?

Both yes,

I intend to play games on it, mostly indie games but an amount of AAA games like skyrim , potato minecraft , gta v ( maybe ) cs go, fallout, and other games at the steam sale(see you there)

I'm mostly editing on this machine...

[MooCow]

The way you have it should be good for all the games you mentioned (in 4k) except for maybe GTA V and Fallout 4. As for CS Go its better to have a monitor with a faster refresh rate (120hz+) but since FPS aren't the games you'll be primarily playing, you're good. In my experience gaming at 4K is amazing for the first 10-20 min. and after that you don't even notice unless you are looking for it. Personally I'd go with the (1440p 144hz) Acer Predator XB271HU ($769.99) and a MSI GeForce GTX 970 Twin Frozr V ($295.00). So you get an ips display for color accuracy and the lower resolution will be easier to run games at 60 fps while recording. You also wont need display scaling for windows which will be necessary on the 4k 27in. If you're set on 4k then go for it. Watching a 4K video on a real 4k screen is impressive 100% of the time, especially on an ips screen.

This is my latest build idea that i was actually gonna post on mine. You can get away with changing things up, but this seems like a solid build.

Trust me a 24in 4k monitor is going to be way too small (waste of pixels). Even 27in is a bit small for 4k. The power supply is total overkill unless you put  another GFX cards in there and overclock everything, a Corsair AX860 should more than enough for this build. If I were you i'd get 2x16GB sticks instead of 4x8GB because if you want to upgrade down the road you have to get rid of the old sticks of ram which will be worth less if you want to sell them. Everything else looks good.

3K? The price should be the same as before.

[MooCow]

Get this one http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-video-card-gtx980tigaming6g or any card with multiple large fans instead of the base 980ti if you go that route. The stock cooler sounds like a jet engine. I imagine noise is important while editing.

MooCow, I have in my thread why I have the 1000w PSU, it's partly due to around late 2016 I will most likely go double SLI, and due to the fact that I will have other PCI-e units and are currently unaware of their power consumption.
