I've waited a little over 4 years now to build a new pc and since I built my old one, a lot has changed in my life, including what workloads I need to tackle.
Here's what I do with my pc in order of importance:
Gaming
Video Encoding/Rendering/Editing for 2 friends' channels, every evening, sometimes 2 videos each a day.
Benchmarking
AutoCAD 2D/3D and Inventor
I do not have a ton of time in the evenings after my construction job for everything, so I want the videos to be finished as fast as possible.
My budget is $5000-$5500. I do not care about price per performance, just want as much performance as I can get reasonably.
I'd prefer not to have a quad core again or less than 6 period. I'd also prefer to have 2 or more graphics cards as I run 2 4k screens and will probably get another one in the next year or so.
Since I also benchmark and overclock, I'd also like to have AIOs or at least a good performing loop, even though I know the temp difference will only be a few degrees. I'd be willing to wait on threadripper but if it's going to be only a few frames/seconds/score, I don't particularly care about it.
Other specs I'm looking for:
High number of sata slots and expansion slots
Quad channel memory in case I ever need more (or wanna show off)
I don't care about noise, after all the noise in the field, kinda just stop caring after awhile
I do have an idea of what I need/want, just want some ideas in case I decide to change what I build.
My current pc build now:
i7 4770k @ 4.9 GHz
MSI z87-G45 Gaming
32GB Ripjaws DDR3-2133
2x EVGA GTX 1080 Hybrid SLI (Just sold both to a friend)
Zotac GTX 970 until I can build another
HX850i PSU (failing currently)
2x Toshiba 2TB HDD
240GB OCZ SSD
The reason why I'm upgrading is that even though the 4770k still keeps up with some newer CPUs, it's still falling behind in multithreaded performance and it gets far too hot at 4.9. 1080s were nice but I'd like to move up. I also do not have enough space for all the backup and extra files I must maintain.
Sorry for being so specific, just trying to give you guys as much info as you may need.
Thanks!
