$4500 (Summer Job)

[Skittleslovers02]

Hello, This summer I will be selling my computer (I5, gtx980) for $1300 CAD. I will also be working at a local collision center, where I will get the rest of the money for the build. (Note the build list does not need tax... already took that away from the total [$5000 with tax which is 1.13]) I already have a kit of 32GB of DDR4 in 2x16GB Kit. Also will want 2x 25" LG monitors (have a 27" asus one). BTW I live in Canada... . I will be using the rig for video editing, photo editing, 3d modeling, and gaming. I have Windows 10 Pro key already, 1TB HDD, 120GB SSD, Keyboard and mouse. If possible I would like 2 NIC's on the motherboard plz (or by card). I don't care for the size. I am a experience builder, but with all the new components out on the market, and ryzen around the corner, I have no Idea what to with the components, Plz help. (starting to get stuff during march break).

Don't bother thinking about it now. Wait until you're ready to build. Too much will change between now and then.

 

Though I must say I hope you're not getting 25" 21:9 monitors..

so you just want the pc, and maybe a ssd with a larger capacity - doing any 4k?

ya, will be photo editing 4k photos... maybe not a 1080p main monitor... yes just the computer / more storage

I would recommend a skylake or kabylake with either z170 or z270. The power supply you could go with a safe 600 watts.

RyZen is said to be launching at the end of February or sometime around there so you may have more than one option for a CPU. This can't be confirmed though but it would be reasonable. I would recommend waiting for RyZen at this point as it's just around the corner and you won't be buying parts until March. What GPU are you thinking about getting?

must've read the wrong requirements then

[Electronics Wizardy]

Personally id keep your current rig, and save that money up for something like a car or college.

i would replace the mobo and cpu with the 8 core ryzen and an am4 mobo if it proves to be about the performance of a 6850k or the 6900k - titan x pascal isn't in stock in canada rn, but i would wait or go with a 1080ti when it comes out

its 1600 usd - whoops - that means you would have to get a 850 evo 512 gb to pay for the conversion rates

Then there's even less reason for you to be planning now.

Exactly how much video editing are you going to be doing?

 

I really think you'd be better off spending half that on a PC, and saving the rest for something else.

PCs at that price point rarely make financial sense, as there's a lot of wasted money that you'll never get back.

The value simply isn't there. You'll get the same performance out of something costing thousands less.

 

I built a friend of mine a PC for photo editing. Except he did it on the side, professionally, making a couple thousand dollars a month. The cost of his rig? $1,200.
