Just asking for assurance

[GamersCouch]

I'm upgrading my old ass PC. You can see my specs in my sig. Budget is ~$1700. This is what I want.

 

$349 ASUS X79 DELUXE LGA 2011 Intel X79 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

 

$699 EVGA 03G-P4-3788-KR GeForce GTX 780 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Classified w/ EVGA ACX Cooler Video Card

 

$579 Intel Core i7-4930K Ivy Bridge-E 3.4GHz LGA 2011 130W Six-Core Desktop Processor BX80633i74930K

 

Total: $1629

 

I'll end up finding a CPU cooler, but I just want to see if anyone can find something "better".

I know... typo in the title... who really cares, right?

 

I DO DAMN IT!

 

can someone fix that?

i know the temptation of getting a 2011 is big, but spending on an i7 4770K and 2 nice GPUs will probably grant you BETTER frames. (unless you do rendering and editing). You can change the title name by clicking on edit then "Use Full Editor"

What's the upgrade for?

[GamersCouch]

i do some post production stuff on videos, music and pictures. I do get paid for it too, so the quicker things are rendered, the more money in my pocket. But, since I do play my fair share of video games, it's like 50/50 production/gaming.

My first build, as you can see, was strictly for gaming because back then, I was only doing things on the side as a hobby and not getting paid for it. since people noticed my work, they've slowly been increasing on the requests. now i'm doing things for my city. crazy, right?

What kind of programs are you using? Types of content you produce?

 

Fyi, you need to quote a post or tag a member or else they won't get a notification you replied to them.

Any of the programs you primarily use?

A better question is what program i least likely use, and that would be AE.

Well Adobe is moving towards OpenCL over CUDA and AE is the only one that's lagging behind on that.

You should probably wait for the 9000 series. Rumors are, the new cards will beat the Titan.

its more a case of all the programs that will draw the most from the hardware when rendering will be what you want to focous on. Photoshop at the botom of the table for this. so, 3ds max, if you use it a lot and make big scenes look at if it will benifit from Open CL or Cuda, same with your top 3 most use programs for rendering as I use a PPU which will better suit and cut the most of your heavy render times.

That sounds intriguing. I have some reservations about that, but nonetheless, i shall wait. Admittedly, I am an nvidia fanboy; due to some REALLY BAD experiences.
