$10k Build (Single GPU / Single Monitor)

Sleepyhead Media · Jun 25, 2014

This build is for editing and recording 4k video - in game.
4k is something like 500/MB per second when recording - so large SSD storage.
Intel - Titan Black - for obvious reasons.
''one very important part is have a Single GPU - NO SLI, i've had problems in the past with recording using cards in SLI, the microstutter shows up.
and many other things, it's rigged for Editing 4k Video in Sony Vegas - and also Studio like Audio!
for music and sound editing - FLAC or higher.
''Audiophile''
''Videophile'' - lol

This is a very serious build: It will be used for burning and writing Blue-Ray DVD's - i might build a separate small/cheap PC for simply burning blue-ray, but that's it.

Money is not an option, but keeping everything in ONE BUILD is the only thing.

''I'll say again, this build is serious - if anyone know's how to go about custom tubing/water cooling for GPU/CPU let me know how! i think it would be worth it if i did''

Thank You Community for bringing me this Far!

If you are using the video card for gaming only you'd probably want to go with Dual 780ti's or 6GB 780's rather than the single Titan Black.

You have a 1440P monitor for gaming at 4k?

If you have hardware doing the 4k video compression for you (not sure the card you have is the right choice for live streaming) then you don't need to write 500MB/s to the drives. Uncompressed 4K video is something like 3840*2160*3*60 = 1492992000 bytes per second, or 1423MB/s at 60 frames per second. It will compress something like 14 to 1 while still keeping your quality pretty fantastic, so that's more like 101MB/s. That can be accomplished with a clean set of two spinning 7200rpm drives quite reasonably so just keep that in mind while spending 2 grand on drives... You could have something like a 20TB RAID for a similar or less price.

If you are doing a single or dual GPU setup you don't need a crazy 1200 watt power supply. Though it doesn't technically hurt anything it is kind of a waste.

Plus, doesn't the video capture card need a 4x PCI-E slot? I don't think that motherboard has one, does it?

Traciatim :

it's compatible with 4, 8, 16 lane PCI Express slots -
can you give me a lesson on RAID? i have no clue what it dose... or how its set up?
are you sure 4k or ever 2k resolution can go onto a HDD? im sure it would slow down the frames per second alot more than an SSD.

Traciatim · Jun 25, 2014

Sleepyhead Media :

RAID is kind of like gluing multiple disks together. If you had 4 2TB spinning disks in a RAID0 (which means the data gets put in chunks across all the drives) you would essentially have 1 8TB disk that can be written on at just under the speed of all the drives combined. So if you can get 80-100MB/s on to a spinning disk then in a RAID0 you should be able to get somewhere near 320-400MB/s. You can do this with SSD's as well, but considering the size of 4K video I figured you would want far more than 4TB of space.

im thinking il throw 2x1TB SSD's in RAID , for recording onto.
and then buy 2x4TB storage HDD's for storing the recorded video safely.

Traciatim :

so here, since money is no problem - i would set up like so:

OS - Storage: SAMSUNG 840 Series MZ-7TD 2.5" 500GB ($298.99 @ NCIX)

RAID- Storage: SAMSUNG 840 EVO MZ-7TE1T0BW 2.5" 1TB ($479.99 @ Newegg)
0 Storage: SAMSUNG 840 EVO MZ-7TE1T0BW 2.5" 1TB ($479.99 @ Newegg)

PURE - Storage: Seagate ST6000NM0024 6TB 7200 RPM 128MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" ($599.99 @ Newegg)
STORAGE Storage: Seagate ST6000NM0024 6TB 7200 RPM 128MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" ($599.99 @ Newegg)

Sleepyhead Media :

That seems like a much more reasonable solution for storage. Even if you go with a 4 bay external NAS unit for the storage of your video and just have the SSDs in your machine for the stuff you are actively working on/recording it would be a pretty good way to do it too. Just make sure you get RADI ready drives like the WD Red series or something similar to that.

Edit: That second set you listed should work just fine. Plenty of space for working with lots of pace for longer term storage. You might want to think about some type of offline storage too, unless you don't think you will need the videos very longs so you can keep the 12GB of spinning disks relatively clean.

If money no problem , I would throw this in then .

http://www.amazon.com/Sony-VPL-VW1000ES-Home-Theater-Projector/dp/B0077R5KXG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1403720767&sr=8-1&keywords=4k+projector

4K resolution?4096x2160. That?s greater than 4 times 1080p
HD to 4K upscaling turns your HD content into a 4K experience
1,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio with SXRD technology
Brightness of 2,000 ANSI lumens
Control over RS232 or IP with feedback Flexible installation?2.1 motorized zoom, 80(v)/30(h) motorized shift and 1.27-2.73 throw ratio

Much better than that puny and wussy not even 4k asus.

Sleepyhead Media · Jun 25, 2014

sla70r :

you obviously have no real experience in editing. that projector lacks the kinda refresh rate i need for my system.
to record properly/purposely high frame rates for better editorial performance.
should i provide an example? or should this suffice?

Sleepyhead Media · Jun 25, 2014

Traciatim :

I agree that definitely seems like a good choice, and im not sure the WD Red series comes in 6TB.
would the 6TB by Seagate work just as well?

Thank You for your time by the way! this has helped me alot!

To those who just had posts deleted (you know who you are).... Knock off the personal digs and keep it civil and on topic. If I see any further breaches of decorum I will kill the thread and give out a little "vacation" time.
