TwitchFast Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 What exactly is this system going to be used for? No-one can provide helpful advice without knowing this. Also, I'll assume £560 is your budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall I want a fast PC. http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/4Ft76h Considerably more powerful, dropped out the 16GB of RAM because it's severely crippling your gaming experience. Changed the CPU to an AMD FX-8350 as it's much better for multi-threaded work (rendering and streaming) Changed the SSD to a Mushkin drive, I wouldn't touch Transcend as they use bad controllers. Changed the GPU to a much more powerful card, the PSU was also upgraded to a more reliable and powerful unit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwitchFast Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Many people have been saying I should get an i7. Would you recommend that? If you have more to spend, it's viable, depends how much and how often you intend to render. The chances are you won't require an i7 though, people just have an "i7 or nothing" mentality on these kinds of forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigm0ma Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) Many people have been saying I should get an i7. Would you recommend that? From my own personal experience from having i7, DO NOT GET ONE. The price compared to power is definitely not worth it, stick to the i5. In addition, from my own person experience of having 16GB of ram it's total overkill. Stick to 8GB Edited October 8, 2014 by bigm0ma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N88 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/6289RB This would probably be the most optimal route at the moment for your needs. You could also get 4790K for about £100 more if you want for editing and streaming. Also I honestly think AMD is not very competitive with Intel atm, their CPUs got shit performance per core and use more power than Intel even though having worse performance.

Antonio Montana Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I'd change the RAM to just 8GB, the PSU is also on the small side. If you want to upgrade any parts in the future such as the GPU to a 760/770 series then you'll need to upgrade the PSU. Personally I always buy a 600W PSU as you can't go wrong with it. Check out the OCZ ModXStream pro, i've had mine for years and have had no hiccups! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSU isn't the best either, it was manufactured by highpower, a company that makes OCZ's PSU's and they're notable for being bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's done everything I've needed and I plan on making another in a few years For what it's worth, it's a nice build for your first. Just avoid buying high frequency RAM as you will almost never get a notable difference from it, 1600MHz is a great sweet spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
