Are these components good enough for video editing and high fps gaming?

1stTimeBuildingAPc · Jan 26, 2016

Here are my specs: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/fDsYnQ

I need a lot of memory for editing videos, and a lot of Ram for rendering videos. I also need a high FPS. my budget is 2200 dollars. Do you recommend anything?

Kevin Fox · Jan 26, 2016

For rendering and editing videos, your computer is more than enough. My computer that has 4GB RAM and a old Quad Core Q8400 is enough for rendering HD videos with short time, like 10-30 minutes. For gaming, you can already run most next-gen games in 60+fps in 1080p or higher. I have no suggestions, you are guaranteed to get high fps in 1080p or higher in most games, and even next-gen games, like Just Cause 3.

Better performance, newer platform, higher quality components, and 300 dollars cheaper.

Hello,

I've edited some of the components in this build. I really didn't like the case, so I changed it (I really want a white case). I also changed the GPU. But here is the problem, my budget is 2200 dollars, but the build is 2300 dollars. Any suggestions? I really want a beast-like computer, to play games with high settings and high fps.

Thank you

Gam3r01 · Jan 27, 2016

I dont see the need for the TitanX, I would leave it as a 980Ti (same base chip) and it will bring your budget down greatly.

1stTimeBuildingAPc · Jan 27, 2016

Gam3r01 :

How about a 2-way SLI? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/jGxsqs

or is the something you suggest for me to add?
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/HWfvTW

I want the best pc with 2200 dollars.

Gam3r01 · Jan 27, 2016

I dont recommend anything more than the base build for anything short of 4k.

1stTimeBuildingAPc · Jan 27, 2016

Gam3r01 :

Is there any better motherboards? Or storage? I really would like to use the whole 2200 dollars

Gam3r01 · Jan 27, 2016

Sure there are better, but not worth spending money on.
I would say, if you wanted to, get a 512GB 950PRO. Those are some amazingly fast SSDs.
You can also consider a larger cooler, like the H240x or NH-d15 for OCs.

1stTimeBuildingAPc · Jan 27, 2016

Gam3r01 :

Which do you think is better, MSI Z170A GAMING M9 ACK or GA-Z170X-Gaming G1?

Gam3r01 · Jan 27, 2016

I tend to recommend against MSI boards, they have a history of poor QC.
Gigabyte and ASUS are tier 1.

1stTimeBuildingAPc · Jan 27, 2016

Gam3r01 :

Thanks

You are very helpful

1stTimeBuildingAPc · Jan 27, 2016

Gam3r01 :

Is there a good 2tb storage for less than 60 dollars?

Gam3r01 · Jan 27, 2016

That barracuda is about the cheapest I would go (3 dollars from being the cheapest)

Gam3r01 :

Thanks, how about my power supply. EVGA 750W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
It has 750w but my build only uses about 532w ?

Gam3r01 · Jan 27, 2016

Its good to have a bit extra headroom, it helps with the efficiency of the unit.
Plus its a quality unit for cheap.

1stTimeBuildingAPc · Jan 27, 2016

Gam3r01 :

How about the CPU? Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor. Is there a good CPU for 350 dollars?

Gam3r01 · Jan 27, 2016

Not for the same performance, no.

1stTimeBuildingAPc · Jan 27, 2016

Gam3r01 :

I've edited my pc build. Any suggestions?
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Tfcbqs

Gam3r01 · Jan 27, 2016

Still solid.

1stTimeBuildingAPc · Jan 27, 2016

Gam3r01 :

Do you know any cheap good cpu fans?

Gam3r01 · Jan 27, 2016

The one in the build.

Are these components good enough for video editing and high fps gaming?
