Hello everyone, 

 

This build is for Photo and video editing, as well as multi-thread applications.

Can you guys help me mantain Processing, Graphics and storage speed of this build, but getting it a little cheaper?

Can we get it under 1700/1650 £?

Take an 850 Series SSD with standard SATA connection. And maybe a PSU with less wattage, 600W should be fine.

I'd say get an E5 xeon but they are clocked a tad lower but have a lot more cores but the cheap ones tend to be ES so if you don't want to go that route:

The case look beautiful: as always, thanks man :) 

The man who asked me for this build said he was working with a lot o files at one, thats why i choose the 950 pro.

I think the 850 evo would do the job as well. 

What about the CPU-Motherboard combo? I mean: he's using an i7-870...

Get a SATA based M.2 drive and you're there.

Think you need NVME speed? I doubt so

 

You're going premium on just about every part... cutting it down £100 isn't going to affect performance much if at all.

NVMe for video editing can help alot though :)

They aren't bad CPUs overclocked. Running an X3430 myself. For the CPU going new limits you to this:

Personally though I would get one of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Intel-Xeon-E5-2683-V3-OEM-2-0Ghz-35MB-L3-14-Core-Max-Turbo-3-0Ghz-120W-CPU/351743087734?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D35391%26meid%3D5157de9c6c6a4adc999ca2ef0440e8be%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D401120851977. It's an OEM chip so it isn't risky like a ES chip but it's used and will take a while to ship but will offer much better performance for CPU intensive tasks.
