I am not finding what i want in availiable, ready-built PCs and I am thinking about building my own PC for the first time ever. My knowledge is very limited, but I have been learning as I am going along with this hypothetical build. As much as I like the idea of having an optimized system for my use, I also like the learning experience of getting back into this stuff for the first time in many years.
As mentioned, I will be using my computer for recording music, video editing, and gaming (CS:GO, Civ5), with much emphasis on recording music. The components I am thinking of going with are:
Intel LGA1150 Core i7-4790K
Corsair Vengeance Pro DDR3 1866MHz 4x8GB / 32GB RAM
Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD
Zotac GeForce GTX 750 1GB ZONE (silent)
ASUS Z97-K
Corsair RM550, 550W PSU
Fractal Design Define R5
I also have an external 1TB hd, which I hope will be sufficient.
For display I am currently using a 40" 1080x1920 samsung led tv via HDMI. Not conventional, and probably not recommended.
I am hoping this build is as silent-running as can be. I am particularly interested to know if the 550W PSU is sufficient or if maybe I should upgrade to 750W?
Also, I am thinking of adding a 140mm Fractal Design fan in the front, for 2 in-take / 1 output. I've read it should be plenty sufficient (some have even mentioned the two fans that come with the R5 may be enough). The RAM will require some overclocking though, how many fans will do?
Am I completely off the mark, or do you think this will perform?
Thanks for all your feedback!
