Could Use some Build Advice

[SocioPsycho]

Hello everyone new member here woot woot. So my current system is coming up on five years old, with the newest thing in it being a   GTX 460 lol. I am a heavy Pc gamer and have some parts listed below, that i think might be good to get but would like some feed back. I am also running on a budget of 3100, now I will admit I do not know a bunch about this type of stuff and while I am trying to learn, it is a whole new world to me

 

 

I do know this will make a lot of heat so having a good case is a must, I also know little about water cooling from what I have seen on YouTube ect So any help in cooling suggestions thank you thank you  

 

Funny thing still saving for graphics card plan on getting the GTX 780ti. Once i have the money, till then will still be using the 460 lol. 

 

Also I am sure this list is not complete and thus why I need your aid and advice thanks for your time  

 

This is all from newegg, if that matters 0.o.

Don't you need a GPU? <_<

Also you should only be using the water cooler for that CPU... its very hot. I'd recommend since you don't really know about building to go with an i5 maybe... Cause this processor is hot and really worth it if you OC it but will you end up doing that?

[nishank93]

Any reason in particular for going with the 9590? If you're going to use it for primarily gaming, get a 4670K or even a 4770K if you want 8 threads. Get an Asus ROG motherboard to match (Maximus VI Formula?)

You definitely will not need an AX1200i for this system. Even an AX860i is overkill, but that is what I'd get with your budget.

Also, you have a Hyper 212 Evo and a H110? Get the H110. It is plenty cooling for any CPU. An H220 or even a H320 is excellent and all you'll ever need.

The case is a personal preference. I would not get a Level 10. Something like a 750D is more my taste.

 

Take note that you could cut a LOT of cash away by not using top-of-the-line parts (as you are currently) and instead using excellent high-end components without reducing performance at all, but I haven't bothered with suggesting any since your budget doesn't require me to.

Welcome to the LTT forums!

 

Here are my suggestions.

1) Yes stick with the 780ti! (Though I prefer sticking to an AMD solution if I will be using an AMD CPU) BUT GO FOR A NON REFERENCE COOLER!

2) a 500Gb SD is pretty steep I suggest you to stick with a 256 maybe even a 128 Samsung EVO drive

3) The 1200AXi is USELESS. your system will not, in any circumstance, use that kind of Power. EVEN IF YOU ARE GOING SLI OR Crossfire. Go with a 650 for a single GPU solution or 750 for 2 cards. 

4) Why are you getting a hyper 212 if you said that you CPU has a water cooling kit?  

5) Get an h220

6) I really dislike Thermaltake cases.. I suggest anything from corsair, silverstone or fractal.

 

Also get an appropriate motherboard.

if you wont be using more than 1 lane go get an ITX, or  4 lanes M-atx. Don't spend to much money on top of the line stuff. 

 

Get a case with good ventilation as well. If you plan to stick with that CPU you are going to generate a butt ton of heat..

@Sosiopsycho

 

In what country do you live? First then can we start setting a build together for you

[SocioPsycho]

Okay First off thank you everyone so far for the aid. Also Usa is current country of living. I have been saving up for two years to get this much money to be able to buy a new computer so any aid in saving me some money while not losing any performance will be greatly appreciated, as it will be some time before I can buy again. I know intel makes some good stuff but I would prefer to stay away from them, just my preference. 

 

My list is wonkie because I do not know what I am doing 100% like you fine chaps through I will not be gluing the thing together myself in the end. 

 

You all have given me so much to look into already and thank you for that. 

 

Also I was thinking about having the AMD FX-9590 be OC, thus my interest but open to other ideas

Will be doing some light video editing if that matters thus why i was wanting power.

[Osmium]

Take note that you could cut a LOT of cash away by not using top-of-the-line parts (as you are currently) and using excellent high-end components without reducing performance by much, but I haven't bothered with suggesting any since your budget doesn't require me to.

I fully agree with this guy but I will take the liberty of actually giving you some options and I will explain my reasoning behind it.

 

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/22F9i

 

That is my part picker page and Ill just say why I chose the parts I did.

 

CPU: Honestly you won't see any benefit by getting an i7 extreme so the x79 platform is a waste of money in your usage scenario.

 

Mobo: I chose this board because I honestly don't think you need more. Once you get pricey with mobos they start adding really gimmicky features that just waste money.

 

Cooler: Honestly I would do the NH-D14 but I wanted to be 100% sure it would give clearance to the RAM, I wouldn't want you to buy an incompatible cooler.

 

RAM: RAM prices are through the roof right now thanks to that fire in the manufacturing plant earlier this year. But I got 16 gb of fast RAM. That is probably overkill but so is your budget

 

Storage: I chose the 1TB version of the samsung EVO for two reasons, the first is you can afford it and second is the higher the capacity the longer it will last. I also gave you a 4TB HDD from WD simply because you can afford it. Personally I probably never use more than a TB but you might be different.

 

GPU: 780ti! Fastest GPU in the market and in my eyes it is pretty future proof. Yeah people will tell you to wait for maxwell but the market is going mobile. GPUs are getting more powerful and consuming less power. But as years go on GPU manufacturers are focusing on the less power thing and less on the horsepower aspect so I predict maxwell's performance gains will be less than they usually are. Even if I am wrong your GPU will still be so close to the top you won't even need to upgrade anyway (SLI is always an option too).

Also I chose the reference cooler in case you ever wanted to get into water cooling in the future.

 

Case: Obsidian 750D. Its Corsair what else do you want?

 

PSU: Corsair AX860 Personally I think the "i" version is a bit useless so here you go!

 

Now from this you will notice you are several hundred below budget and I did this on purpose. If I were to buy more expensive parts you would see hardly any performance gains and I can't in good conscience tell you spend your money on a few frames per second. So I put some of the budget aside to get you some kickass peripherals.

 

I included an ASUS 144hz monitor that is compatible with the upcoming G-Sync upgrade kit. This means you can get up to 144 fps in games and you will be set for years to come if you install the G-sync upgrade kit.

I also included a pair of AD700x headphones. These are the BEST headphones for gaming on the market. These have a flawless soundstage so by hearing footsteps/sounds you can pinpoint where people are easily.

 

Finally there is still budget left over and this again was intentional. I dont know what peripheral setup you have so I just gave you two things I know can improve your setup no matter what. But a mouse and keyboard is largely personal preference. And you might have both of those. This leftover money I left so you can get the best keyboard you can find and the best mouse you can find

 

Edit: I have typing/researching this for a good 45 minutes and I did not see your post on AMD. I really have to recommend against AMD since the only thing they are good at with CPUs are low end value oriented CPUs. Whatever you have against Intel I am saying their CPUs will last you a lot longer than AMD's will. If you still don't want to buy from them I understand but from the looks of it you have been saving a long time and I don't want you to spend your money on a CPU you could do better with.

[AlwaysFSX]

9590 is stupid expensive for the performance and outputs the amount of heat equal to a nuclear power plant.

 

For $3,100 I would have this build list instead:

 

• $90 - Corsair Carbide 400R
• $340 - i7 4770k
• $200 - ASUS Z87-PRO
• $118 - Corsair H110
• $700 ($1400) 2x EVGA GTX 780 Ti
• $150 - Mushkin Enhanced Blackline (2x8GB) 1600MHz
• $175 - SeaSonic X-850 80+ Gold
• $180 - Samsung 840 EVO 250GB ssd
• $266 - Western Digital Black 4TB hdd

Total is $2,919 off of Newegg, minus shipping/taxes

There you go. About 700$ saved (all prices are off Newegg), and you still have the most baller motherboard around! When the 8350 is overclocked, there will be negligible performance difference between your original configuration and this. You have plenty of storage space, the case is excellent for both air and watercooling (though you are free to switch it around), the power supply will easily handle another 780Ti, and many many more HDDs.

Intel Core i7-4930K Ivy Bridge-E 3.4GHz LGA 2011 130W Six-Core Desktop Processor BX80633i74930K

 

 

The Asus motherboard comes with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (and NFC as well I think?). The Gigabyte comes with a theoretically better integrated sound solution. Performance and quality wise, both are great. It is a matter of what feature set you want, and to some extent what brand you prefer. I'd personally pick Asus.

 

For gaming, a 4670K is plenty. It is a quad core processor, whereas the 4770K is a quad core processor with hyperthreading (effectively eight threads). An overclocked 8350 and the 4770K are freaking amazing at pretty much anything. At your budget, and since you would be doing a little video editing, don't bother with the 4670K. Get either a 4770K or a FX-8350.

 

You'd only need a 4930K if you need more PCI-E lanes (have two GPUs, a sound card, RAID card, all at the same time sort of situation) or are doing HEAVY video encoding and rendering work. In games, you'd probably gain 3 to 4 FPS. You do not need a 4930K.

16gb is usually enough for domestic video creation. games usually only need 8gb.

 

i'd recommend the h100i over the other cooler just because I've used corsair before and trust them. h100i is also a very good cooler

You wouldn't need 32GB unless you were doing heavy video editing work (professional level). And we've all recommended two sticks of 8GB so that you always have room for expansion. 16GB at 1866MHz is plenty. Going faster is going to have a diminishing return. If you want to invest in RAM, you could go up to 16GB at 2133MHz, but beyond that is really pointless. Brands? Corsair, Kingston, Mushkin, Crucial, G-Skill are all great.

The only other area where you could invest in with real performance improvement is cooling, but that would require a full custom loop and a GPU block for the 780Ti, which I'm not sure you want to get into (though you could manage it in USD 3100).

Corsair have been doing closed all-in-one liquid cooling kits for a long time, and they're pretty much the standard for it. Go with Corsair.

Well to answer a few of your questions, there is not much difference between those two boards, they have the same amount of PCIe lanes it appears however the ASUS has wireless internet which may actually be worth buying(as long as you don't mind the ugly color ).

 

Onto CPUs the Intel has lower power consumption, more "horsepower" with higher performance in single threaded (single core) and multi threaded (multicore/hyper threading). Games use one to two cores now so the performance will be somewhat noticeable in games but the better performance in multi threaded applications will be very noticeable in video editing.

 

Also that i7 extreme I actually was using for your build before but I realized the performance you would be able to see was not worth the extra money spent on the CPU and mobo.

 

Ram wise 16 is more than you will need for gaming and video editing. 32 is crazy expensive right now and it really is not worth it.

 

And I recommend the Noctua NH-D14 CPU cooler. Yes it is an air cooler but it is dead silent and performs as good if not better than any closed loop water cooler.

 

And no problem on the helping you out, I like doing this stuff anyway

 

Also NONO on the sound card. They will not improve soundstage and if you want good audio quality you need a good headset.

 

I recommend against the AMD although you probably know that by now but also I think the ROG board you paired up with it is overpriced.

[aithos]

I agree with what most people are saying, I would also strongly suggest that if gaming is a priority you go with an Intel CPU.  The AMD chips are very good at heavily threaded applications but modern games are not very optimized for multi-threading.  Here is what I would recommend:

 

Intel i5-4670k

Asus Maximus VI Hero (Formula if you intend to OC)

EVGA GTX 780ti superclocked w/ACX (if single, reference if you plan to SLI)

Corsair 750D, AX860i, Vengeance Pro 16gb 1866 (case, psu, ram)

Samsung 840 pro/evo (at least 250gb)

WD black 2tb hdd

Noctua u14s (air), Cooler Master Glacer 240L (AIO water)

Noctua fans

 

The total for this is around $2200 and leaves you room for a second video card or extra stuff like a monitor, mechanical keyboard, new mouse, calibration tool, etc.  That setup is pretty close to what I just bought except I got two video cards and went with a 4770k because I want to do video editing with Shadowplay and streaming (games, music and voip all at once).

[WoodenMarker]

Okay First off thank you everyone so far for the aid. Also Usa is current country of living. I have been saving up for two years to get this much money to be able to buy a new computer so any aid in saving me some money while not losing any performance will be greatly appreciated, as it will be some time before I can buy again.

Will be doing some light video editing if that matters thus why i was wanting power.

Not worth paying so much for a cpu and cooling if you're just doing light editing.

You're putting all your money into everything but the gpu which is the opposite of what you should be doing. Also the 780 Ti is a bad value.

What's your situation for your peripherals. You better have a 1440 IPS panel or two because there's no point getting such good hardware if your peripherals are crap. 

What is the difference from the 

ASUS Z87-PRO LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

from the 

GIGABYTE GA-Z87X-UD4H LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Intel Core i7-4930K Ivy Bridge-E 3.4GHz LGA 2011 130W Six-Core Desktop Processor BX80633i74930K

Just the features. I wouldn't even go with an i7. It's much cheaper to go with a 8350.

Really not worth getting the 4930k unless you just want to blow money or you edit videos professionally.

Is there value in going to 32GB Plz help me understand this a little better

Brand doesn't matter.

Neither, just get a nice air cooler. It's cheaper and quieter.

Not worth getting the Crosshair unless you're doing a custom cooling loop and are pushing really high clocks. I'd recommend a 990FX UD3 instead.

No point getting such a large ssd. A 120GB ssd would do and 250GB if you really are a program hog.

Like I said, the 780 Ti is a bad value.

What peripherals do you have so far?

No point getting a wd green. A barracuda performs better.
