first New Selft-Build PC

[DrBaja]

Hey, after a while from using the Dell Inspiron 3650 with an i7 Quad Core and 2gb AMD card.

This Dell PC is serving me well and I will continue to use it when I make more money. I'm ready to start planning to upgrade.

I use my machine all day every day from video editing to photo rendering and to moderate gaming such as Minecraft and game engines.

Most of my programs include FLStudio, Adobe Creative Suites(AllPrograms, PS, PR, AE).

Currently, I'm living in East, Texas USA. Right now I'm going for an AMD build as my programs are dependent are CPU cores.

 

Here is my full list of parts including a case: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/DrBaja/saved/Lcm3FT

Budget: $1400

Total: $1280

 

I purposely bought an expensive power supply to ensure quality and allow additions such as Crossfire and more ram.

Opinions much appreciated!

I personally would buy a 1080TI instead of two 580s, but otherwise, it looks fine.

I'm trying to stay away from Nvidia for a couple of reasons, 1, is that I have had Awesome Experience with them in my life of Computers and because of how much Cheaper They can be. I also love the driver support that AMD offers.

 

Thank's for your post anyways.

 

Best regards,

DrBaja

That parts list is $1600, so which parts do you have, and which do you plan to get?

From what I could find, FLStudio is single threaded, so it won't benefit from Ryzen. Adobe CC performs better on Intel platforms as well. 

If you stick to Ryzen, don't get that board, as it's way overpriced, and bad. The Prime Pro should cost about the same.

You can get similar RAM for a bit less.

Multi GPU setups are really silly, as game support is going down, and it comes with the issues multi-GPU has always had. Not sure about Adobe CC's support for OpenGL and CUDA acceleration. 

Why the G2, when you can get better PSUs for less?

I got an 8 core CPU for FL Studio specifically as some of the Audio Production is 100 tracks or more. I also like being able to render my audio fast and in crisp quality.

This also goes for my video editing.

I plan to have only 1 GPU for a while and if Needed I would upgrade.

I'm getting the motherboard so I can expand if I would like too same for the PSU (as said in my original post).

The ram can probably be found for cheaper but is it still good quality?

 

Thanks,

DrBaja

A dell Inspiron 3650 hey.  Can't go wrong with a 3650,  Still using my Nokia 3650 to this day as a smartphone, best number for any product. (jk, but seeing 3650 brought me back to the good ol' days)

 

But in all seriousness. I would say that its a solid upgrade but crossfired 580 will not give you as great of a performance as a single 1080 or 1080 ti.  Try to just look at the Hardware from what it is and what you need it for and ignore any brand loyalty for such a large purchase.

 

Firstly, you will get a negligible performance increase with crossfire, and likely have some kinks to work out.

Also, you are sacrificing a lot VRAM going with crossfire, becuase you have two cards but they share the same data in VRAM (think of it like RAID 0 for your VRAM)

Vega is too hard to get rn and is over priced even at MSRP.  Which leaves 580s or Nvidia. 

 

I say just get a single Nvidia 1080 or 1080TI.  Look for benchmarks to make a more informed decision.
