Hello /g/.
I am currently looking to buy my first desktop computer, but I really don't know what I need. I do not play games requiring high performance on PC, but I create and render videos.
My original budget was $1.300, and what I came up with was this:
Prices converted from NOK to USD
>Corsair VS650, 650W PSU, $84
>EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC Gaming, $599
>Intel Core i7-6700 Skylake Processor, $383
>ASUS B150 Pro Gaming/Aura, Socket-1151, $167
>HyperX Fury DDR4 2133MHz 16GB, $100
>Samsung 750 EVO 250GB 2.5" SSD Bulk, $90
This would make a total of $1423. It is a bit over my budget, but not much. I showed the list to my friend and he said he wanted to make me a list himself, with what he recommended.
He recommended
>Corsair VS650, 650W PSU, $84
>EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC Gaming, $599
>Intel Core i7-5820K Processor, $490
>ASUS X99-E, Socket-2011-3, $306
>HyperX Fury DDR4 2400MHz 16GB, $101
>Samsung 750 EVO 250GB 2.5" SSD Bulk, $90
>Fractal Design Define R5 Black, $144
>WD Red 2TB 3.5" NAS HDD, $120
>Noctua NH-D15 CPU Cooler, $101
This would make a total of $2039. It's way over my original budget, but I can afford it. The question is do I really need this much PC just to have a lightningfast PC and to render videos? Thoughts?
Anon.
Either will work. 4 vs 6 cores won't make a difference in games, though.
Can probably save some money getting a Define R4.
WD Red is stupid. Just get a Seagate. Just not the 3TB since it might still be sketchy. Their 1TB has always been top tier, and they seem to have ironed out the bugs in the 2TB.

Ok, thanks.

>Just get a Seagate
Which 1TB Seagate do you mean? I see theres a lot of different ones.
>Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5"
or
>Seagate Desktop 1TB 3.5" SSHD
>>56352712
Barracuda. ST1000DM003.
>>56352797
Gracias.
Well, the price did only reduce from $2039 to $1950. But it's something...
>>56352579
Do not buy western digital reds. I'm pretty sure those are for CCTV cameras and are slower.
>>56352888
What do you recomend instead?
>>56352861
You could ditch the Noctua for a CM 212+ EVO. If you're not going to do any hardcore overclocking you're not going to notice a difference in temps, and I doubt you'll notice any difference in noise inside an R4 or R5.
Other than that, doesn't look like many other places to save money if that's what your processors/mobos/1070's cost.
You could drop down to a VS550. Neither of those builds is going to pull anywhere near that.
>>56352888
No, Reds are NAS drives. The Purples are CCTV.
What will you be doing? If you're not gonna be playing games then you don't need all that.
>>56353001
I'm gonna be editing and rendering videos. Of course Im gonna play Steam games, but I don't need everything to be on ultra settings etc.
I primarily play on console.
And I'm not buying a Macintosh.

>editing and rendering videos
>games don't require much power
Get an AMD FX8350 or better.
Get a Hitachi (HGST) HDD, as they are the best.
Go to logicalincrements.com for info on the MB, PSU, and so on. With your budget, I would go for a gold-rated PSU, but copper-rated ones are not much worse.
Don't pay for your OS. Don't fall for somali /g/ shills.

>Hitachi (HGST) HDD
sadly the shop doesn't have those
But thank you very much.
>>56353071
He may live in Norway but that doesn't mean he needs a housefire to keep warm.
>>56353127
Order them from Sweden, you won't get taxed extra, and they have them through netonnet i think.
>>56353160
So you don't agree with >>56353071 ?
>>56353160
Well he doesn't need to get Nvidia, then.
All I want is a PC which can render videos without overheating and lagging and play games on normal settings without melting the CPU.
OP.
>>56353179
A shit-tier budget processor on a $1500 budget? No, I don't. It's slow as hell in games and the workflow for video work isn't embarrassingly parallel, either.
>>56353250
Ok, thanks. The most important thing for me is that everything runs fast. No delay, no lag.
>>56353250
Would you recomend this as a minimum?
>Corsair VS650, 650W PSU, $84
>EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC Gaming, $599
>Intel Core i7-5820K Processor, $490
>ASUS X99-E, Socket-2011-3, $306
>HyperX Fury DDR4 2400MHz 16GB, $101
>Samsung 750 EVO 250GB 2.5" SSD Bulk, $90
>Fractal Design Define R5 Black, $144
>WD Red 2TB 3.5" NAS HDD, $120
>Noctua NH-D15 CPU Cooler, $101
>>56353015
>Intel Core i7-6700 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor $294.99
ok
>ASRock B150M Pro4 Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard $73.99
cons: no leds, pros: costs $100 less
>G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-2133 Memory $112.99
32 gigs is something you'll actually get use out of in editing
>Samsung 850 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive $156.99
250GB is just not enough storage when you have all that raw footage laying around when video editing. Either a bigger SSD like I just put or a 250gb and a 1-2TB HDD, this really depends on what your specific usecase is
>Sapphire Radeon RX 480 8GB NITRO+ OC Video Card $289.99
1070 is overkill for what you are describing, 480 gets you way better price/performance, especially in OpenCL etc. loads
>SeaSonic 450W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply $68.99
In power supplies pay for quality components and long warranty, not for brand and huge wattage numbers your system doesn't need
>Total: $997.94
Get yourself a nice monitor for the extra $400

No, minimum would be i5 6500k and the cheapest 1070. Even though video work will make good use of the i7's hyperthreading, it's a pretty big jump in price for the performance. I'm encoding right now on an i5 4670k and an i7 3770 and I certainly don't feel the i5 is holding me back.
The i7 6700 would be outstanding. I'd lean that way over the 5820k since the 5820k is older and barely faster with 6 cores than the 6700 with 4.
