Building my first pc
Hi there everyone. I've decided to build my first pc. I would like a pretty quick pc that I can use for photoshop and maybe play with 3d modeling on. Also, the ability to run multiple monitors in the future would be nice. I've already picked out all the parts I think I'll need. I'll post a list for your perusal. If you see anything wrong with the selection of parts, please let me know. If you see anywhere I could save money or where I could increase performance while remaining near the same cost, let me know that too. Like I said, it's my first build so I'm sure there are some mistakes. Thanks for all your help.

They will talk noise about mobo and ram. Here's a great case specially built for water cooling (also comes in black) and loads of space. Post # 4
Liquid cpu cooler info?

Can we have links with actual prices from the store you plan on getting these parts from? Or at least let us know what country you are in?
You need to change the ram to corsair ddr3-1600 low profile for sure. I would change to a corsair tx 650, modular hx 650, or seasonic 650 on the psu I would change to an intel 520 ssd I would change the water cooler to the corsair h 80 or H 100 I would also change the graphics card to a nvidia card to take advantage of Cuda I would suggest if you can afford it to switch to an ivy or sandy bridge cpu also. Scroll down to photoshop http://www.anandtech.com/show/4955/t...x8150-tested/7 http://www.techspot.com/review/452-a...pus/page8.html Ivy http://www.anandtech.com/show/5771/t...3770k-review/6 If you will provide us with links to your parts from an online store in your country, or give us the price of each part and let us know what country you are in then I would be glad to put together a list for you.

Pretty nice build but here are some things t consider.
Change the ram for reliability, performance, and stability. Newegg.com - Kingston HyperX 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model KHX1600C9D3K4/16GX Change the power supply for performance, reliability, and stability. Newegg.com - SeaSonic M12II 620 Bronze 620W ATX12V V2.3 / EPS 12V V2.91 SLI Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply I had recently tested that closed loop cooler and it is exceptional. You will love it. That is a nice entry level Auto Cad or Solid Works card. Is that what you are talking about in regards to 3D modeling? Do you already have the hard drives? |

I only chose that PSU and SSd because they come together as a combo for $140 with $30 in mail in rebates. I planned on using the 60GB SSD for OS and some programs and a 1TB HDD for everything else. Does that sound like it would work ok? I just want to try out photoshop and blender for fun. Thanks for the reply. |

G-Skill is great memory but there are times when it is less performing than others...
I have 2 kits of the G-Skill 16gb (4x4gb) and even splitting it into 2 8gb kits its still slower performing even at rated speeds to even that of say Mushkin Silverline... My Mushkin Silverline ddr3-1333 have higher bandwidth and performs better than the 1600mhz G-Skill ram at the 1600mhz speeds.. some of this is the way the BIOS is coded as well though. I have had NO issue with G-Skill ram or their RMA service... in prolly 100 kits bought and used I have had 2 die in use and those were promptly RMAd... others have not been so lucky

60GB for the OS is not a great idea, but if you manage it I suppose it can be done. Intel 520's are the only SSD's I build with because they have mature controller's, firmware, and are ultra reliable. The power supply is a critical part so I always use Seasonic, they are the best at protecting your hardware, provide clean power, and are ultra reliable. I would definitely stay away from that combo. That card is a nice choice for Blender and Photoshop. I will mention though that Adobe products like NVidia and their Cuda Cores. You may consider bumping up the price a little on the card. Newegg.com - EVGA 015-P3-1480-KR GeForce GTX 480 (Fermi) 1536MB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card or to stay within budget Newegg.com - EVGA SuperClocked 01G-P3-1363-KR GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) 1GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card |
