msallak1 :
no i wont buy i5
i think i will just collect my money and think about and will get best items so always will get best performance.
i want ask i want good motherboard for my 3930k and gtx690 but not too expensive
and want nice and cheap case which will take all my components without being crowded
i found many cases in amazon but which one is best?
last question : some guys told me that ssd samsun or crucial are best ssd . for u what u think is best OCZ or what?
thanks
What you fail to realize is that a computer is a system, with each component interacting with eachother, and the bottleneck of a system is what determines your maximum performance.
Think of it this way:
10 years ago there was a massive amount of difference in hardware between cards that could barely disply still images without issue, and hardware that could play '3D' games that even a cell phone could play better now. The same will be true of today's hardware: 5-10 years from now games will require so much more performance from a system that hardware available today simply gets dwarfed. Yes, a 690 will fair better and longer than a 670 or 680, but it is a matter of a year of extended use, not many more years. Especially with a console release next year (nintendo this year so dosn't count lol), we are going to see explosive amounts of extra hardware requirements over the next 3-4 years before things begin to level off again.
But here is the kicker: high end hardware (and software) is SPECIALIZED. It is not a simple matter of an i7 having more computer power over an i5, or a 2011i7 having more raw power than a 1155i7 that makes them faster. What makes them faster are the extra instruction sets, the extra cores, higher frequencies, more parallelism, more robust caching systems, etc. But if the software never takes advantage of that specialized hardware, then there is NO PERFORMANCE DIFFERENCE AT ALL. iTunes will run equally on an i3 all the way up to a 2011i7 if the CPU clock is the same, and actuially an i3 Ivy Bridge would theoretically even beat out the i7 (clock per clock) because the general CPU architecture is more efficient. But at the same time things like Adobe Premiere simply won't run well at all on an i3, will run OK on an i5, run acceptably on an i7, and smooth as butter (assuming you have apropriate storage and ram) on a 2011i7 because the software is DESIGNED to take advantage of those extra cores and extensions.
For current games, even the highest end games only use a MAX of 4 cores, and from what has been said from Intel and others, this is not going to change any time soon. This means that Intel (and others) believe next gen consoles will still only be equivilant to a quad core desktop CPU. That means that those extra 2 cores simply hang out and do relatively nothing except add complexity to the CPU architecture which makes it hotter and harder to OC well, which holds back performance, it does not give extra performance.
2011 motherboards are nearing a year old, and are lacking some of the modern interfaces that current gen 1155 mobos have (like extra SATA3 and USB3 ports). 2011 has quad channel DDR... but that adds no performance to gaming.
Also, think of your 690. An overclocked 1155 i5 or i7 is more than capable of pushing enough data to the GPU without bottleneck. Sites have done tests and found that there is very little performance difference between the 2 platforms (for gaming anyways), because the CPUs can do their job very well.
Now: Is there a use case for a 2011 gaming rig? ABSOLUTELY! If you are running an extreme system with quad SLi (4x680) then you NEED 2011 because the platform has more PCIe3 lanes that are required to push that many cards. But for a single card configuration a PCIe3 x16 slot will only take 16 lanes, and Ivy Bridge can do that quite handilly.
Moving on:
Crucial SSDs are great and have a good reputation because of reliability, not speed. In fact, by today's standards the Crucial drives are even considered 'slow' due to their write speeds and lack of compressible data boost that is enjoyed by other chips. But they are still very good drives.
Samsung is simply the best out there at the moment, so if you are concerned about speed, then those are the drives for you.
WTHm: If you are building such an expensive rig then why the hell would you skimp out on the motherboard? The mobo is (2nd to the power supply) the most important single part in your system when it comes to features, stability, overclocking, and longevity of your system. I am not saying that you need some crazy $500 board in order to have a good system, but that is one part that you simply do not look for the lowest possible thing that will work unless you are expecting to burn through the board and replace it in short order. Get a good mid-level ASUS board that has the connectivity features that you want, you will thank me later for it.
For cases; If you are building a monster rig with large parts, then you are going to simply need a large case to put it all in. However, the 690 is not exactly a large card (especially compared to some previous gen high end cards), and running a single card will not require anything bigger than a standard mid-tower. If you are running up to 6 HDD/SSDs then you can fit those fairly comfortably in a mid-tower as well. However, if sticking with 2011 motherboards, you may need a full tower or E-ATX (extended ATX) tower to fit your motherboard into. Big towers are expensive because nobody needs them. Even big towers that have very few features are expensive because they are only going to sell a small handful of them throughout their product cycle.
Amazon is rarely the place to get the best prices (or support) on electronics. Look into newegg, ncix, and microcenter. Every once in a while Amazon will have a good deal on something, but you can never expect much in the way of honoring return policy, or even that what you are purchasing is new and not refurbished. Meanwhile the other 3 have excellent prices, and are all known for having very good and consistent customer support.
Lastly: If you have this kind of money to burn, and are obviously kinda new to computer hardware, then why would you not just purchase a pre-built system from someone like Falcon? Sure, they are expensive, but they know what they are doing, where you do not. They will OC your system and get the most potential out of it without frying it, where you will not. They will warranty your hardware, where if you build this yourself and break it then you get to buy new parts because you will void your warranty.
If you are dead set on building your own I would really suggest that you build a few moderate level PCs to learn what you are doing and better understand the pitfalls of system building, then sell those (for a profit of course), and build your monster rig once you know what you are getting, why you are getting it, and can put it together properly.
