Cheaper vs more expensive

RagingRaider · Jan 19, 2016

So I am building my PC within the next month I should have enough for builds and upgrading to one of the new nvidia cards next year so went with a cheaper card here is my first build which is more expensive but I would prefer it http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/gwV9bv or this one which is cheaper http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/vGrQXL
Which is more worth it if I am doing gaming video recording and editing

If you're recording, I'd get the I7 build.

so if u are recording and gaming and editing I would go for te 5820k which is 300 bucks and I would get a 980 or a 970 gpu... siting for pascal is useless as u hve a 1080p and pascal will be for 2k and 4K ...

Dulith1118 :

I agree, 5820K is a wiser option for recording.

I recommend an even cheaper build
1) Delete the water cooler, you can get a good overclock on air, and an extreme overclock will reduce the life of your CPU (high Vcore voltage is bad).
2) An i5 is enough for gaming, and pretty good for video work. Only get an i7 if you get really impatient waiting another minute for your video film to encode.
3) Although a 960 or 970 gtx are more expensive than their radeon equivalents, they use less power and produce less heat, so you can save on case fans and a PSU. An i5 with a gtx960 will run easily on 500W PSU
4) A £25 case with good reviews on Amazon will do the job.

lodders :

He's recording, he should get an I7. Some people like to have a nice case, and the NZXT H440 comes with 4 fans unlike those cheap cases that come with 1 fan. PSU headroom is fine, for all we know he may want to SLI down the road, though I do agree he could tone it down to 650W, even 550W. Water cooler, some people like them because they take up little space rather than bulky coolers.

if he's doing all editing gaming and recording it wouldn't hurt to go with a i7 5820k and agreed a air cooler would do good check the noctua nd15 or rock pro 3..
and case fans ain't gonna do much actually and like lodders said Nvidia doesn't require that much power like amd and will run cooler.. 980 or a 970 with 5820k is a the best option to go with

Case fans do more than you think. After installing 2 top exhaust 140mm fans in my NZXT H440 the other day, GPU temps dropped 20C.

I'm not convinced that Intel are as good as they are claimed to be. Their new Skylake processors look very good indeed, but a couple of years ago, at least one "independent" benchmarking website was caught giving falsely reduced results for AMD systems to make Intel appear better by comparison. I do not believe for one second Intel were not aware. Can we be sure the same thing is not happening now?

BrandX :

This is all just heresy. It's quite well-known how Intel performs compared to AMD. I just see people on this forum daily with AMD CPUs who are having low FPS in gaming due to a bottleneck.
