alround build

[shadydutchguy]

hello,

 

im planning to build a new PC soon but im a little wondering if there is anything i can do better/change for roughly the same price and performance.

 

use:

the use will be mainly gaming, with some rendering(3D and video) on the sides, i prefer to do multiple stuff at the same time with it(like rendering a video while playing a game, without to many lag) because that is just the way i am =P

 

budget:

my budget is roughly around €2700,- because this seems to be the most i can get together at the time im planning to order stuff(around december) but less is always welcome.

 

requirements:

not to noisy, i like to keep it quite since its put in a room wich isnt way to big and it stands close to me.

if you are getting the non-k 4770 then you don't need to spend that much on that motherboard and you could just got for a noctua cpu cooler for quiet operation 

[MarvinKurzweil]

Which monitor do you use? I don't reccomned using hdmi with that high end video card,go with dual link dvi. Also with that cooler u must overclock,so get the 4770k i7

case fans:

i was looking a some noctua but there aren't any sellers in the netherlands, wich means i have to order them through germany, belgium or noctua themselves, wich adds up on delivery costs.

1x noctua NF-A14 flx for the back, as intake.

1x NF s12b flx for airflow form the bottom, as intake.

2x NF p12 to be attached on the radtiator and as outlet.

OS:

windows 7.

€0.- since i'm taking out the drive form my old system and will reinstall windows on the SSD.

others:

1x HDMI cable since i am on VGA now but my screen also supports HDMI €16.99

 

price without noctua fans:

GTX build:

€2391.89

Radeon build:

€2511.89

expected price with noctua fans:

GTX build:

€2470,-

radeon build:

2600,-

 

let me know if you think something can be changed/inproved at this build, the thingy i mainly need more information about are the case fans since the noctua's got a big chance to fall away due to delivery times/prices.

Where are you buying from? Alternate.nl? also follow this topic (above right corner)

[shadydutchguy]

hmm okey thanks, i will see into that, but still not sure about noctua since i didnt find any sind in belgium/germany with delivery times for in the netherlands.

 

Which monitor do you use? I don't reccomned using hdmi with that high end video card,go with dual link dvi. Also with that cooler u must overclock,so get the 4770k i7

it is something quite low-end form salora, cant say what type exactly since i had it for my birthday and the wallmount makes me unable to look properly at it.

it only has 1 VGA 1 HDMI and 1 SCART connection.

everything in this list comes form mycom.nl, but i wouldnt mind ordering form multiple sites if needed.

Thanks for the following tip.

Here:http://www.alternate.nl/html/search.html?filterCategoryPathROOT=Koeling&query=noctua&y=-151&x=-396&filterCategoryPathROOT%2FKoeling=Behuizing

they sell noctua fans ( en leverbaar)

Their belgian site has a little more options (this is where I buy from) http://www.alternate.be/html/search.html?filterCategoryPathROOT=Koeling&query=noctua&y=-151&x=-396&filterCategoryPathROOT%2FKoeling=Behuizing

ahh thank you, i thought they didnt sell in NL since nothing popped up at the noctua site but i will look a bit more at alternate and change other things to if needed, like the CPU as mentoined above.

What kind of content do you work on? Programs you use?

[shadydutchguy]

What kind of content do you work on? Programs you use?

 

i work with alot of stuff actually, but mainly with adobe after effects, sony vegas pro and cinema 4D when it comes to rendering and modelling stuff,

the stuff i exactly do with them change quite alot form something fun (like a car) to making a simple desk for somebody in cinema 4D. with after effects it is mostley putting videos together with a few simple tweaks in light and/or sound. sony vegas is just there to get the files bit smaller(after effects spits out 20gb+files only, wich vegas makes 1-2gb)

 

on the build:

changed the CPU to a 4770K, but i just noticed that the cooler isnt compatible with a 1150 socket according to the sellers, but the corsair site says it is.

also adding the noctua fans and their prices.

Still thinking about the GPUs due to what MarvinKurzweil said, if anybody has some recommendations for me it would be nice to hear them.

dont know if it matters for the GPUs(atleast form what i could find), but my screen is 22" and has a 1360x768 resolution at 60Hz, with VGA.

Hmm. What you're doing seems quite light. 

You can do with much cheaper parts.

 

The cooler works for 1150 but I wouldn't say it's worth it for what you're doing. Same goes for most of your parts. Btw, your parts are soooooo overkill and you're overspending.

The 780 is not meant for anything 1080p or lower. You should really get a better display--get some better peripherals and stop spending so much on the system itself. I'd recommend getting 2 IPS panels.

 

Where are you shopping?

i shop at mycom.nl and alternate.nl both dutch sites, wich is easiest for delivery(mostley within 1 day).

i mostley took those parts cuse i wanted to be sure i could do with it what i wanted too do, wich contains alot of hopping/multitasking.

Since im now stuck on a 2core AMD system without GPU or any possibilities, i wouldnt know how much i would need to get the best out of it for me, so i guess it is going to be a (nearly) complete rebuild of the system what i got now in the first post?

Yeah.. you're doing a huge jump here and overestimating in what you need. What I'd recommend would be very different from what's in the first post. It sounds like you need some new peripherals as well.

December is a while from now. I'd recommend planning later--2-3 days before buying at most. Parts and prices change frequently.

Okey thank you, but can you recommand me a GPU already?

Because i think that is going to be the hardest thing to find for me, since i wont be able to get a bigger screen(or more) due to room limitations.

Either an aftermarket 290/290x.780.780 Ti and a nice 1440 IPS panel or some 1080p displays and a 280x/7970.
