Hello all, I am building a computer again this summer and my budget is pretty big. I am gonna post a pcpartpicker link. If you have anything you want to say please tell me. I want this computer to be really quiet, fast, and pretty. Some things for your information. I am going to run a push/pull on the H100i on the top. Probably gonna wait for the Haswell-E to come out. Could I do something better with my budget? Thanks! Link: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Llamaluvr97/saved/4wch

By a multimedia pc, do you mean a HTPC or a video editing pc or something else?

The 4930k is ok for video editing but overkill for anything else. Same with 32GB 2133 RAM.

I wouldn't buy more case fans until you work out that you don't like what Corsair puts in their case anyway.

What editor are you using? Is is cuda (nVidia) based or open cl (Radeon) based? Do you want to do 4k rendering?

1200W is overkill for a one 780ti pc.

So I actually kinda like this, but I don't think I need a cpu that expensive. Im not gonna need a workstation, I just need a cpu that can do intro video editing, can max out games, use photshop like a pro, and just be a solid computer for like 5 years.

Most likely Nvidia Based, im just starting to get into video editing and I want a computer that I can use in the long run and a computer that can eventually run with 3 1440p monitors.

Why so much dislike of the RIVEB. I think its a sick board and I don't understand why everyone doesn't like it.

 


Nothing wrong with it except it costs a lot. And you really don't need an eatx mobo unless your adding a whole lot of pcie stuff to it.
