Opinions/Advice needed for the build I'm ordering tonight (hopefullly :P)

fyubr · Apr 9, 2014

Ok so to start off with I am trying to keep my budget under $1,000. I am going to be using the computer mostly for editing, rendering, photoshopping, blurays and some games.

I already own- 750w power supply
and a radeon r9 290 gpu

Order Summary
Items (10): $861.05
Shipping & handling: $0.00
Total before tax: $861.05
Estimated tax to be collected: $77.51

The reason I am going with amazon if possible is because of the free prime shipping also because of the fast shipping times since I need to build this and start editing as soon as possible.

What I am looking for in opinions if this would be a good editing machine or if certain things should or could be switched out for the same or better performance (still need to stick under $1,000 budget)

Also please let me know if there would be any problems with this build that I may have missed (size of things, power, compatibility etc).

Would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks to anyone who helps

You can do a lot better. I'll post a build soon.

SchizTech · Apr 9, 2014

Major mistake: you chose an Intel CPU but an AMD motherboard. Those are incompatible!

fyubr · Apr 9, 2014

RazerZ :

Looking forward to it, if possible under the 1k (bonus if it can be at amazon

)

SchizTech :

Opps thanks for pointing that out, the original build had a amd fx 8350 for that motherboard but my friend kept saying that I need to go Intel because it would crush amd (not so much in cost lol) and forgot the change the board, thanks for the heads up

RazerZ :

Thanks man, just curious what are the major advantages with your build? (other then the motherboard problem like SchizTech said with the original build)

ps. Would you build fit the r9 290?

faster ram, faster SSD, better quality HDD, a bit more spacious case, and a better CPU cooler.

Not to mention its also more cost effective.

You'd have to remove a drive bay and it will fit.

Would that be something hard to do or just like a normal removal? Ive had to take a saw before to cases and dont feel like doing it if I dont have to

So this rig would be decent for video editing/rending right?

Thanks again for your time

fyubr · Apr 10, 2014

About to buy in the next few ours, just wanted to bump this to see if anyone else had any input, also still curious how mine or RazerZ's rig would stand up in hard editing.
