So...
After I saved a budget of 1000€ I finally went through the hardware world and picked my PC parts. But before I bought it, I wanted to discuss it with other people so I posted it into a forum. But they are going just completely ham onto me.
They've called it the worst PC build ever... And I would accept that, if I would get the reason for it.
... However I don't, so I thought I should ask for help into another forum.
That's my build.
First up:
What will my computer be used for?
I want to use it for playing the lastest released games, like Division, but also "classics" as CSGO. I want to record scenes on max. settings in CSGO, or best possible at least to put them toegether in montages. (I won't record other games.) Also I want more or less a huge storage, since I don't play games for long until I change to another. So I always have lots installed. Also I have a pretty huge music and video collection. The data should all be saved to my PC (as it was on my old one). Therefore I already have an additional +3TB external storage. In addition to that I want a Blu-Ray-Reader, that I'm not forced to watch all my Blu-Rays on my TV. Don't judge me, I enjoy watching them with my computer a lot more more.
Especially the CPU was the part to blame...
in the other forum. So ist that really true?
They reasoned it by a post from the german site pcgameshardware.
But I'm not sure about that one. As I learned by the post from Teksyndicate the AMD CPU will perform better on the higher resolutions. But pcgameshardware is just testing on 1.280 x 720. Also lastest outcomes seem to be capable of using more than 4 cores, aren't they?
Because the newest games never recommend 4 cores anymore... But that could just be a wrong thought. (And it propably is.)
Also an i7 seems to be far to expensive, so I would need to stick with an i5. However if I'm recording with an i5 it would decrease the ingame experience a lot, wouldn't it?
Also the post from Technologyx seems to be showing, that the AMD doesn't stink that much even compared to an i7 monster.
Would it be worth to wait for the upcomming Nvidia series?
If I'm looking into it right now AMD graphics cards seems to be better, judged by performance/price. So i thought the outcome wouldn't really affect me.
Am I wrong? I noticed a slight advantage of the AMDs in many benchmarks. But if you are playing games, which teamed up with Nvidia as Wolfenstein Nvidia seems to make a big jump into the right direction.
I'm really not sure, what's the right choice to make here. So I sticked with the solution, that for me seemed to have the best price-performance-rate.
I am from Germany so it would be really gentle of you, if you could compare the prices of your country to mine for example via choosing Germany as your country at pcpartpicker. However providing another list in another currency is better than nothing and I could still do the price comparing, if you don't have the time for that.
And I wanted to state, that I'm nothing like an AMD fanboy. I'm completely okay with using other brands' stuff. I never owned anything of AMD, but it just seems to be the best choice here.
Thank you very much in advance for your answers,
Plauer.
