Need Advice! First build, ever, plan

[Mickee78681]

So here's a list of the components I think I would like. My question is : am I spending too much for editing (very small yt channel), and occasional gaming? I'm wanting to futureproof so that I don't feel the need to update much of anything for a good 3-5 years, plus I want it to run relatively quiet and be rock solid as far as speed and dependency. Any comments will be beneficial for me (even negative ones)...I've never built my own rig before.

For editing, just get a 6700k. Not really worth it, your a small channel.

 

Get a smaller psu, Id get a sesonic 360w will be fine.

 

Id get 32gb of ram.

Too much ram 32 would be fine for 3 or 4 more years. over over kill power supply only 2 fury x while overclocked need that. ur ssds can be cheaper yet 2 tb try crucial ssds. and yeah try and wait for ryzen and vega. Maybe price go down.

360w. Do u wanna choke the poor psu

[m0k]

consider z170 and 6700k (you can make optimizations to your workflow depending on what video files and codecs you work with)

32gb of ram is fine

650watt PSU MAX (360watt is a stupid low amount that someone else mentioned)

it would work fine. Might as well get a smaller psu so its more efficent under normal use(games, editing, browsing)

That will work fine. Whats the problem with that? It will also be more efficent.

I personally think you are spending way to much on parts. My changes-

-Get a 650w EVGA GS or G2. 1000w even if you SLI and OC everything you'll have 400w headroom

-The motherboard is stupidly overkill. The price to feature ration of X99 boards above $300 and maybe push it to $350is minimal. You get things like extra Type C connectors, Bluetooth ect.

-Do you REALLY need to spend that much on a case? I mean, the Phanteks EVOLV ATX is amazing and much cheaper. Are you really going to utilise the features of the Dark Base Pro 900?

-You don't need a 360mm AIO cooler also. I'd go with a 240-280mm from NZXT or Deepcool. NZXT offers a RGB ones in their new xX2 lineup.

-32GB of RAM is plenty, no need for 64GB.

-An i7-6700k will do you just fine in terms of editing and gaming ect. You personally won't notice the extra cores in gaming and I'm editing the difference isn't much. If you want a budget editing rig with cores, Ryzen will have competetive CPUs to intel's such as the 8c/16t Ryzen CPU is rumored to be <$500 and comparable to a 6900k

umm no it is not a  gtx 1050ti

eh.. I'd go for at least a quality 550w EVGA GS or G2. 360w on a system like this? Sorry but the system may not exceed that but you would push that thing to limit while under full load.

Look here. Gtx 1080 and 4960x with a max power of 338w(including psu). It will be just fine

I just did the math and 338w is 94 percent of 360w... you should never run a power supply at over 90% if you want to have your power supply for a while.

more like 83% of max load as your including the psu loss in that 338w. It will last a while. Its a well built psu.

go look at efficiency ratings on PSU,

theyre usually the most efficient at 50% load

for this pc it would be 300watts = get a 550-650watt psu
