So first of all Hi everyone, my name is Sandro, and I am from portugal. I spent 7 hours trying to make a good computer for me, watching reviews from you, seeing prices and combining them to my budget with the objective of making a good/price computer to the budget i have and for what i want to use my computer.
Basically i have 2100 euros to spent its almost the same as dollars so don't worry, anyway some parts of my computer I've already decided what i want, but other parts im not sure yet like the motherboard, graphics card and memorys and i want your opinion about, and maybe you can tell me other parts that im nor aware off.That would be great.
Another thing im a little fan of asus, so i have a little fear regarding other brands like gigabyte, msi, AMD but im here for you to tell me whats really worth it you know.. just because it's more expensive it doesn't mean that it's better, and if i could spent less money that would also be great.
So.. i will use my computer for gamming and mostly using After effects and editing softwares and 3d rendering like Maya or 3D Max. I tried to combine the gamming with the work in this computer, but i just want you to know for what i want the computer i think it will help.
This is the computer:
Graphic Cards:
-ATI 5970 2GB (saphire)
-NVIDIA GTX 580 1.5 GB
-ATI 6990 (i don't know about this, its just a maybe)
But if i buy ATI card i will buy a 5830 to make crossfire, and 5830 because i have someone who sells it really cheaper and i was thinking that i could use it to cross fire for additional performance.
MotherBoards:
-ASUS Sabertooth X58
-GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R
-ASUS RAMPAGE II GENE
Like i said earlier i want for gamming and 3d rendering. Possibly i want to overclock ofcourse like everyone else. But i want a good overclock board and good durability.
Processor:
-Intel core i7 - 950 3,06 GHZ
Memorys:
-Kingston (1800) 12GB
-GSKILL (1800) 12GB
Heres the thing is kingston that bad? because the price is a big difference.
Hard Drives:
-Intel SSD X25-V x2 in Raid 0
-WESTERN DIGITAL 2 TB 64 MB DE CACHE SATA GP (additional drive ofcourse)
Power Supplies:
-Corsair TX850W (silent)
Monitors:
-ASUS MS228H LCD LED 21,5" 10.000.000:1
-SAMSUNG MONITOR TFT 21,5" 5 000 000:1
They are boths LED its that too much difference in the contrast?
Computer Case:
-COOLER MASTER HF 932
-Caixa Thermaltake XaserVI VG4000BWS Black
-Caixa NZXT Phantom Black
I want a good cooling case, with good air flow, because i think i have a computer that will probably heat much, i thinking later in putting a water cooling system and its great to think in a case that water cooling works great and its prepared to that.
I wont put the prices because i want you to see this without looking for what is expensive, because that make us think that is better and i don't want that.
I would be thankfull if you help me
Thank you very much
