Hey,
I am looking to build a new PC and use my old one (3770k 4.3ghz / 690) as a rendering PC for videos so things can be more efficient.
I really am looking for top notch parts for this, as good as it can get as really hoping to get 100+fps in Battlefield 4 on Ultra settings as a minimum, whilst recording using dxtory. I don't really want to play any FPS games at less than 100fps unless they are singleplayer, as I find it affects my aim too much. Dxtory generally causes a 10fps drop or did so in Battlefield 3. I don't want to say that cost isn't an issue as have been saving a long while, but am willing to buy the very best parts provided they are not a waste of money (e.g. 2xTitans when 2x780s much much cheaper and 5% difference if that).
I was hoping you could help me with the parts list below. Will be self-building, but don't remember how many cables etc. I need if anybody can help me. Not sure whether these parts will work fine together as was 2 years since I last built a PC.
Case: Corsair 700D
Motherboard: ASUS Maximus VI Formula
CPU: Intel 4770k (I heard the 4960x gets worse performance in games, if anyone can confirm?)
Cooler: Corsair H100
RAM: 32GB Kingston HyperX Beast QUAD-DDR3 2400MHZ XMP (this is ofc unnecessary for games but I will be using After Effects extensively on this PC, so will buy this for that).
GPU: Am waiting until I see what Nvidia/AMD release this month. Will probably get Nvidia's Titan Ultra in SLI if they scale well and are better priced than the original Titan.
PSU: Corsair AX1200
Windows / Programs SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB
Games SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB (I use USB 3.0 Harddisks for recording / general storage as I have to move stuff to laptop / other PC regularly so is more convenient).
Fans: Noctua NF-F12PWM 120mm
Operating System: Little confused about this. Some games now use Windows 8's DirectX 11.1 it seems and have significantly higher frames as a result. Im not a great fan of Windows 8 though, so would prefer to have Windows 7 Pro installed. Does Windows 8 have any limit on Ram amount as say Windows 7 Home does to 16GB?
Blu-Ray/DVD Drive: Can anybody recommend one that is decent?
Thanks!
