Gib stronk advice - buying new hardware

Postby ShrubberyCollector » 15 Aug 2014 20:33

Hey guys,

I want to dumb my old computer and buy a complete new system. That's the problem.
it's been about 2 years since i've last bought hardware for my system and since then i didn't really cared about the new stuff.
I don't really have a clue about the stuff which is currently on the market.

I'm having a budget of ~1.000€ and would like to setup a custom system from scratch.
It should be a fast system which can do ressource hungry processes like rendering 3d models in a fast paste and ofc allow me to play current games on the market with high settings. It doesn't have to be powerful enough to play games of the next year with HD settings.

Case, Coolingfan, Harddrive+SSD, power supply and CD/DVD/Blueray drive are things that i can take care of on my own without spending too much money here. So what i really need are:

Mainboard
Gigabyte GA-H97-D3H

CPU
Xeon E3-1231 v3 / Intel Core i5 4690K

Internal Memory
Crucial Ballistix Sport XT 8,0 GByte Kit DDR3-1600

Videocard
Powercolor R9 280X TurboDuo OC

The currently listed things are from a german website called "gamestar". They suggest this set-up for a 1.000€ system to be the best price/performance that you can get for the money but i doubt that this is the truth.

I'm happy with any kind of help that i can get.

That setup looks nice, if oyu want to OC at some point, if that Xeon is unlocked it's probably better for that.

Another thing you can argue is the GPU, but if I were you, I'd actually go with that one you have there, the option would be to go with 760/770GTX

I'd go with this setup with your budjet

* CPU: i7 4970K ~300€ (case of streaming, videoediting, OC) / i5-4670K ~220€
* Motherboard: ASUS Z87-A ~110€
* GPU: R9 280X ASUS DCU2 / ASUS GTX770DC2 OC both around 320€
+ other shits with ~400€

http://www.computerbase.de/forum/showth ... p?t=215394

for 3d render everything but maya likes amd more so the r9 280/290 is best choice then

btw if you can wait like 4-6 weeks more you will spare around 100-150 euro cause nvidia releases maxwell ( gtx 880 and so on )

I'd say the system is overkill for what you say you need.

And as i stated before, i don't really have a clue about what the current hardware is capable of. I don't mind if it's going to be this kind of "overkill" as long as it fulfils my desires and doesn't blow my budget ;)
However i won't cry if i'm getting away with less to pay.

or still suggest to wait like brati said, because new shit is about to be released ?
would it make sense to rather go for some new nvidia maxwell stuff than a good older one ?
halp plis !


edit: maybe it's important to know, shrubby wants to do other stuff with his pc too, but i want this thingy only for gaming :>

yeah i5-4690k with gtx 970 ( 300euro, must have, #maxwell masterrace )
dont go cheap on the mainboard and i would recommend a 512 gb ssd from intel or samsung for quality or something mediocre since it doesnt matter that much ( all are very fast ) AND get a good cooling unit for the k cpu ( ocing is easy then)
for the case you want a silent pc i would go for full water cooling or combination out of asus dc gpu and 2-3 noiseblocker vents

with that setup you will run everything on max details on full hd the next 3-5 years ++++++ the maxwell chip got dsr, it can downsample old games by using nvidia standard drivers this means you can pimp every game to max :O :O

GTX 690 best gaming graphic card confirmed by nvidia themself.
Nobody buys gtx 690 nowadays because they think they higher number it is the better.
The retards who has no idea buys gtx 780ti
There has been a several test between 780ti and 690 where the 780ti wins at quality but 690 pretty much wins at performance.

I can confirm the GPU does nothing for this game, 7850 to R280X, 0% difference. :d

i'd say a 256gb ssd is enough, get another 1tb hdd for data

yeah i thought of getting a small ssd and bigger hdd, but the price difference is not that big. 250gb is also like 110€ and since i'm having 500gb at the moment and don't really need much more diskspace i'll leave it like that.
i can still upgrade later with an additional hdd.
