I was originally planning on a whole new PC, keeping only the harddrive and case, but then decided it will be cheaper and easier to replace only the motherboard and graphics card.
-3570k @ 4.0GHz (maybe a little more)
- Noctua NH-D14
- 8gb G.Skill RAM 1600mhz, upgrade to 16gb maybe
- GTX 770, 780, 780ti or Maxwell, cant decide...
- Z77 motherboard...I have no clue which one to get, ASRock Extreme4, ASUS's Sabertooth and Rampage series...thoughts?
Will all of these be enough for light recording at relatively high quality. Which GPU would be best for this? Also, will the i5 struggle at all with recording? I have recorded a little in the past, but not too heavily, or on a regular basis.
Which graphics card? 780s have become quite cheap ~$650 AUD, and I thought about that, but the 770 is also pretty good and a little cheaper ~$450 - $500 AUD. Which would be best?
other questions:
What happens if I overclock a CPU on a OC compatible mobo, and then transfer the OC'd CPU to a OC incompatible mobo? Does the frequency just reset to default?
Same question as above, except transferring the OC'd CPU to a different OC compatible mobo? Will the clock speed reset again?
And is it OK to bump the clock speed up a little higher, for instance my current CPU is at 4.0GHz, but if I get a new, better cooler, can I bump it up a little more without worry?
Thanks
