Hello all, I’m seeking for help in building my new system..I’ll try to keep this short
and simple. Basically i’m a web designer / multimedia guy and does play games but not
that much like LOl or Hon etc only. I’m not really good in building systems but one
thing is for sure i know my what i will use it for , hope you guys could help me =(
My Goal with this build: ( No.1 being the highest concern or goal)
- To be able to multitask heavy programs. For this part, i want it to be able to handle
adobe photoshop , illustrator, and dreamweaver along with 20 tabs of chrome or even
more, sometimes additional random program or a game opened, so it’s like a total of 5
heavy programs. i hope you get the idea. i was hoping that I would to be able to switch
smoothly from one program to another.
-
Fast response from switching pc on to opening programs or loading games
-
Future proof? ( i know this is impossible and have read a lot about this concept, but
what i mean is hopefully the build would still be able handle future programs or
compete with other systems 3-4 yrs from now or even more lol. i’m just expecting it to
run future programs smoothly and without the need to upgrade again and again. hope you
guys get it.)
- To be able to handle smoothly large canvas like for example, 30x30 with 300
resolution for graphic design or those things.
- not really familiar what todays and upcoming technology offers , i just read them
things like PCI-e 3.0 , sata 3, usb 3, 2011 architecture of intel etc..
Budget: $1000 - $1300
-i know this is low as to what i expect or my goals but my main concern really is the
processor , storage and memory.
What i already have or what i can use in the meantime to fit my budget
- Geforce GTX 550 TI (i know one of my concern is photoshop high res canvas but il just
work with this in the meantime to fit my budget)
-
500gb Storage (forgot the brand)
-
Gigabit PCI network adapter
-
Q6600 - lol this is really old, but this is what i mean about futureproof thing, this
thing can still run programs in today’s software.
My Build?
Processor - if going with amd, Amd 8350 OC to 4.5 to 4.8ghz.
- if going intel , i7-3930k, this is what i really want as this seems to
promise also the future proof thing.
Mobo - If Amd - asus sabertooth 990fx r2.0 (have read that it’s the best for OC’ing amd
8350
- If Intel , ( i dont know yet)
Ram - 16gb 1600 - 1833 mhz (no specific brand yet)
Storage - 1x SSD 125gb and 1x 1TB 7200 rpm
Graphics Card - for this part, Since my budget is low , if possible i’ll just use my
geforce 550 ti and just upgrade later on.
Power supply - 750 watts
Cooler - Corsair h80 or h100
Case - ? i dont know yet
Sound card - i dont plan to get any and just use the onboard.
Optical Drive - anything cheap
I hope you get my situation. what i really dont understand is the processor part. if to
go with i7-3930 and squeeze other parts in my budget, or to go AMD 8350 which will allow
another video card like Sapphire 7950 DDR 5 3gb . But for the AMD part, im not really
sure if it can compete in the future. iv been reading a lot and just want suggestions
especially constructive comments.. that’s all and i really do appreciate everyone’s time
in reading my thread. A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL.
