New Workstation Build

[noahsheldon81]

Hello, 

I am building a new workstation PC. By this, I mean video editing in Adobe Premiere, Adobe After Effects work, web development, and a little bit of gaming here and their. 

My budget is $1,050 USD at MOST. 

What do you think of my build?

I was debating between the i7-6700 and the i7-6700K. If I get the K I am going to overclock. What do you guys think about it?

Right now I have the K version in the build. 

What do you think about the GPU choice and just the overall build?

I already have 2 monitors I will be using for a dual monitor setup. 

I also already have an SSD and HDD for my drives.

THANKS SO MUCH IN ADVANCE.

Very solid but that RAM will look ugly with an overall white/black build and out of nowhere a random blue stick comes out.

The GPU is fine, even if you don't overclock the i7 6700k still has higher clock speed compared to i7 6700

Good Point. I am not too worried about aesthetics as it will be hidden under my desk. 

But thank you for the feedback!

Since you won't game a lot, you'd best get a cheaper GPU that will still do high-max 1080p, and use the rest of the money on a more powerful CPU.

 

Since the chip pulls more power, add a more powerful CPU cooler. You can still OC and hit 4.4-4.5 on this one.

Won't the GPU help in Premiere and After Effects for rendering as well as overall performance boast and GPU acceleration as well?

Also, Adobe doesn't work as well with AMD GPU. They are made more for Nvidia.

just a suggestion to lower the price a bit why not a hyper 212 evo instead of the cryorig h7

Yes.

Looking at comparing the two, the H7 cools better, stays a lot cooler, runs quieter, and looks a lot better.

Take a look at the video. As you can see, it's heavily dependent on workload but generally the difference is small, and more CPU power helps more (citation needed)

 

 

 

Adobe being made for Nvidia is a myth, the first workload (export to cineform) shows the 980 Ti being beaten by the 290, 390X, and Fury. Cineform 4K to H.264 shows weird results with 290, fury and R9 285 edging out the 980 and 980 Ti. Chroma keyed footage gives the win to Nvidia but not by a whole lot (in general, no GPU is hugely better than the others).

 

This is my only source however.

What do you mean no GPU is better than the others? 

It was very obvious that the benchmarks showed that with no GPU that render times (and subsequently) performance was much more poor.
