$3000 Budget Rig

[Blind X]

Hi guys,

 

I am thinking to upgrade my system as my current system cannot handle the work.

Current Specifications:

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 running at stock speed @3.00 GHz

4 GB ram @800 MHz

Asus P5K-E/Wifi-AP Motherboard

Nvidia Geforce 8600 gt (512 mb, 128 bit)

 

There are two types of things i would like to do on my system

1. Office Work

Its usually video converting, video editing, web designing, using Adobe CS6 Master Collection and using these software

1. Photoshop to edit huge pdf files some times over 1gb

2. Illustrator

3. Dreamweaver

4. Flashbuilder

5. After Effects

6. Premier Pro

 

2. Gaming

When it comes to Gaming i play games like

1.  FIFA 16 & 17

2. Need for Speed Rivals, Shift 2 Unleashed

3. Counter Strike Global Offensive

4. Dota 2

5. GTA 5

6. Pokemon GO

I will like to record each and every game at 2560 x 1440 for youtube channel with steady fps above 60

 

Thanks in advance

I'd get an 850W PSU for 2-way GTX1080 SLI. EVGA makes some cheaper ones if the RMx is over you budget, otherwise the RMx is great quality and fairly quiet from what I've heard.

[NinjaJc01]

Much less than $3000 and overkill for what you are planning. And fairly future proof.

750W is enough. You could probably even run it on 650W.

It is enough, but a 6800K will be better.

More than plenty.

Not hugely for the price. It would be better to give the OP more videocard power. They're not going to use a 6800k fully anyway.

At least get a 950 PRO M.2 drive. It makes the system that much nippier. Then you could pair a couple of 1TB SSDs for storage.

You can run 1080 SLI on as little as 600w

 

Remember each only pulls 180W

From what op has explained he wants to use it mainly for video editing so wouldn't it make sense to go for a better cpu as its a very cpu intensive process?

No. The 6700k is more than enough.

Quite a bit, in games that support SLI. Most do these days, Hitman doesn't for example.

[Blind X]

and what about 5820K vs 6800K

[Blind X]

Here is what I came up with

http://www.logicalincrements.com/articles/videoediting this show they prioritize cpu power for video editing performance over gpu power. Clearly with a budget of 3000 you are going to get a gpu capable of playing the games open wants to play with ease so why not spend the money on the cpu and increase the productivity of the computer?
