Hi everyone,
This is my first ever post, but I have read loads of the communities threads before,
and have learnt loads of interesting information. I have never built a PC before
but am about to pull the trigger on components for a new build that I will be
using exclusively for video editing, after effects, 3D and general graphic design.
This is what I have put together, I would really appreicate any feedback before I
buy.
CPU
Intel Core i7 3770K
COOLER
Noctua NH-D14
MOBO
Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H
RAM
Corsair Vengeance 4 X 8GB
GPU
MSI GTX 560 TI Twin Frozr OC 2GB
SSD
Crucial M4 128GB
HDD
Samsung Spinpoint F3 2 X 1TB
OPTICAL
Pioneer BDR-206DBK BD-RE
PSU
Corsair TX750M
CASE
Fractal Design Define R3
My biggest point of contention right now is to whether to go for a 3770k or a 2700k?
I will be overclocking the CPU to max I can with stability, I have heard with the 3370K I
will be looking at 4.5GHZ while 2700K would possibly go up to 5GHZ. As my apps
are very CPU intensive, which of these two will serve me best? And will it be advisably to go
for water cooling for the 3770K or would the Noctua be sufficient and if I am going air, would
a 212 Evo be good enough to save some money?
I have decided to go for the Gigabyte board as it is a good price for the latest chipset and as I don't
game, will not need dual graphics, though the other option is ASUS P8Z68-V LX which
looks good but doesn't provide front USB 3.0 support for my R3 Case, but heard it's
a good overclocker.
Anyway, please give me any suggestions you have, I'm looking for this system to take
me to the Release of Adobe CS7 in 2014, so don't want any regrets and hopefully
will be able to sell in on for a little by then too.
Cheers
