Hi everyone,
I am of late planning to build a PC for myself. I will be essentially usuing this for editing pics and vids and doing some scientific work, and would like it to last for a decent period of time, since here in India, it is quite costly to build a high end computer. I saw here an advice to write such queries, so I am summerising my query below.
Approximate Purchase Date: As soon as possible.
Budget Range: Equivalent to ~USD 1350.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: For editing pics and vids and doing some scientific work. Least important is gaming.
Parts Not Required: Monitor, KB, Mouse, DVD Writers.
Country: India
Overclocking: May be yes.
SLI or Crossfire: Do not know.
Additional Comments: I already own an ASUS USB3 external BluRay writer.
I have decided upon the following configuration:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-X79-UP4.
CPU: Intel Core i7 4820k, @3.7 GHz.
RAM: Corsair Vengeance, DDR3, 8 GB, 1600 MHz, C10.
Graphics Card: Sapphire AMD Radeon R7 240, 1 GB GDDR5, PCIe 3.0.
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO.
Solid State Drive: Samsung 840EVO 120 GB.
Hard Disk Drive: Seagate Barracuda Desktop, 1 TB, 6 Gb/s, 64 MB Cache, 7200 rpm (ST1000DM003).
Power Supply Unit: Corsair VS650, 650 watt or Corsair CX500, 500 W 80+ Bronze.
Cabinet: Corsair Carbide 200R.
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1, 64 bit.
I have the following questions:
Firstly, is this config a good one? Then, is the choice of the Graphics card OK? Will the CX500 PSU be enough or do I need the VS650 (which is 80+ certified, but not bronze). I had thought about the CX600 but that is costlier.
Please help and suggest.
Thanks in advance.
