I haven't built a proper Desktop since the GeForce 6000 Series was around and have been trying to catch up the last couple of days. Originally I wanted to spend around 500 so yeah, I'm already over my budget. I haven't played any computer games since HL2 cause I never had the hardware so I'll probably go on a playing binge the first couple of weeks and regress back to not gaming after. The rig I wanna get should therefore be more focused on editing DSLR footage in Premiere Pro CS6 and After Effects. I want to make use of the Mercury Playback Engine which was suppose to support OpenCL on Windows this year but I couldn't find any definite proof so went with an Nvidia GPU with CUDA. Now I don't actually know if all the parts would work together and if I picked the best, which is why I ask here. I'm also planning on buying used parts on ebay as i5 2500K's start from as little as 120 Euros here in Germany. Some more questions I have:
1. Is there something like triple channel RAM in a motherboard
2. Where are some reviews for real life results for overclocking
3. What are the benefits of more expensive motherboards
4. Why do GPU's need so much RAM?
If anyone can suggest any articles that explain RAM, GPU, etc. better feel free to suggest away.
TL;DR I want to build a small quiet editing machine for Adobes creative suite and see if the components I picked are a good match for each other
here are the parts, the prices were the cheapest I could find on ebay/Amazon. I put my own comments in brackets:
130 - i5 2500k (maybe 3570K depending on which one is cheaper on ebay, apparently ib better power consumption for speeds <4.5)
120 - zotac gtx 650 ti 2gb
100 - samsung 840 pro series 128gb
080 - Asrock Z77 Pro3 Sockel 1155 Mainboard (apparently gets hot when overclocking as mentioned in one amazon review; plan B: extreme4 for 120)
028 - Xigmatek SD1283 Cooler (very quiet, power efficient)
080 - 2TB Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm SATA III
050 - 2x4GB 1333 low profile DDR3 RAM
050 - 530+W PSU (sharkoon wpm600 or be quiet 530w)
027 - MS-TECH CA-0150 PC ATX Mini Tower
I should also mention that I'm not gonna buy this computer for another 5 months
