Dear community,
I'd like to receive some comments on the build I've chosen and am planning to buy. Here are the parts:
The idea is to have a SSD as the first drive (Windows and Office install) and 3x 1TB HDD in a RAID 5 setup.
The RAM cards are to be used in dual channel.
Overclock is not required, dual GPU either.
The idea is to have the computer as fast and as silent as possible for Windows, Office and Internet browsing and watching videos and listening to music, for a medium priced machine.
The kind of advice I am looking for is whether I am spending unwisely here, if there is some bootleneck that I am not noticing (for my lack of knowledge).
Thanks.
PS: Following is the "form" from the sticky post about asking advice.
Approximate Purchase Date:
Probably within the next 30 days
Budget Range:
Not exactly applicable, since I am from Brazil, and I can't buy from newegg and the such
System Usage from Most to Least Important:
Will be using Windows
Browsing the internet
Lots of Office working
Some gaming, nothing too current (maybe games launched two years ago or before). Huge resolutions and high quality are not a high-priority requirement
Some video watching in HD
File and Picture management
Maybe some light video editing (amateur youtube channel)
Are you buying a monitor:
Probably not
Parts to Upgrade: (e.g.: CPU, mobo, RAM)
Everything - new Build
Do you need to buy OS:
No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts:
http://www.pichau.com.br
Location:
Brazil
Parts Preferences:
CPU Intel
GPU NVidia
Overclocking:
No
SLI or Crossfire:
Maybe after 4 or 5 years if that pays
Your Monitor Resolution:
Currently, 1680x1050. Maybe I'd like to go up.
Additional Comments:
No need to beauty, fancy leds, cool looks, etc.
Quiet and silence very important
Not too expensive
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading:
Current computer is sluggish for the current workload.
