New computer on sight

[MiF]

So... i am in need of new computer (also because littlebrother needs own computer,) i have builded computer before and i know something about parts, but because this gonna cost about 1100€, i want to know your intelegents and knowlage about these.

So parts what i am going to buy.

Motherboard: Asus P7P55D Intel P55 LGA1156 (122€)

Graphics Card: Gigabyte GV-N470D5-13I-B NVIDIA GeForce GTX470 1280 MB (373€)

Case: Antec Sonata III 500 *WITH* 500W ATX12V v. 2.0 power source (100€)

RAM memory: Corsair 4GB (2X2GB) DDR3 1333MHz kit XMS3 DHX (148€)

Processor: Intel Core i7-860 2.80GHz (327€)

Harddrive: already got

That makes 1073€ + Shipping (maybe 20-40€) + Windows 7 update from Vista

Is my case big enough? Do i have enough power? Do i need better cooling system?

budjet is like 1100 max for parts.

Computer is for HARD video and effects (video making needs a LOT power) and MEDIUM-HARD gaming

Thanks

If i were you i would get a better GPU like the ATI 5870 which costs about the same with better performance. But the other stuff looks pretty nice, but i would also get another case and a better powersupply because you have to use adapters for the gpu power right now.

[Nobana]

Agreed, get ATI 5xxx card rather than Nvidia.

[Mayco]

Video editing/rendering doesn't require a real hardcore setup. Just make sure to get plenty of RAM (4-6 GB) and an i7 or i5 CPU. Gaming is a lot heavier in general and actually benefits from a good GPU (unlike video editing, basically all video editing software stresses only the CPU).

I recommend you get a nice i5 CPU and an ATI 5870 like CyriusG suggested.

[Darkstar]

If you have the money I would rather go with the i7-920 than the 860

[Lemon!]

ATI 5870 is better than that.

Does 4GB mean alot?

Otherwise, looks decent.

[PEPPER]

)) You know all games can run without issues even on Dual Cores (if youll use your comp properly) youre just wasting money on buying such expenisve processors, save your money for a nice videocard instead of CPU.

They can, but not as good as a quad/i5/i7 core.

[CyriusG]

And he's also going to do some video editing and a quad core will help the rendering time.

[Firehawk]

nice computer man, now we can play more css together some times

succses with you video making.

I'd only recommend taking a HD5870 instead of a GTX470, and to take a separate case and power supply. For the PSU I'd recommend a Cooler Master 620M. Also, make sure you take a big enough case. The HD5870/GTX470 are quite big cards.

[MiF]

thanks for all tips .

I will check ATI cards, friends have said much about them, like they are better than Nvidia in lower price.

just because ppl have said many thing about this, is CPUs clock regenzies (if thats called, in my list 2.8Ghz) big thing? because now i got old Intels dual core with 3.1 Ghz.

I will update my new list soon, i will take 1. ATI card 2. case and power suply in different order.

Also, make sure you take a big enough case. The HD5870/GTX470 are quite big cards.

Isnt cases in sizes like Small, normal and large?

Your clockspeed is sort of important. The i7 at 2.8 GHz beats a Dual Core CPU at 3.1 GHz any day of the week. Don't worry about it too much.

okey. thanks .

heres updates.

Graph Card: Asus DIRECTCU/2DIS/1GD5 Radeon HD 5850 1GB

Case: Cooler Master Elite 335

Power source: Nexus NX-5000 R3 530W 82 Plus

heres some questions... again.

1. Is my power source good enough? (there wasnt any new Cooler master made)

2. Is my case bug enough? i tookt them from normal size section

3. Do i NEED (NEED!!!) get more fans or cooling system?

4. Is grap cards CPU clockspeed important? this card got 725Mhz

1. I would recommend you to get a brand power supply (enermax, tagan, seasonic, corsair)

2. Your case is enough for a HD5850

3. No. (You should buy a better CPU cooler if you are going to OC)

4. Don't worry too much about that. A HD5850 is a decent card.

Also, good decision that you buy an ATI card

Could you send us the link from the shop?

[CyriusG]

If you can afford it go with a Cooler Master 690 II Advanced and if you can afford a corsair psu get on of those as well, you should never save money on your psu.

[MiF]

If you have the money I would rather go with the i7-920 than the 860

hmmh. i found these i7-920 processor with smaler price.

This one i would get ASAP: Intel Core i7 930 2,8GHz

and this is in lower price but takes weeks to come:

Intel Core i7 920 2,66GHz

should i take i7-920. Earlier one has some things in it.

What is it better in -920?

A 860 is enough. A 920 is better for Crossfire/SLI systems.

1. I will see if i got money

2. good

3. hmmh... well i have survived untill this with normal Fan, but i will see

could i send link from the shop... no. its finnish

Edit: I will buy other psu, IF thats not enough (in power i mean) is 530W enough for all of this.

Wattage is not everything, you also need a quality parts in the psu.

[Mayco]

It's mostly the voltage (or amps or something) on the V12+ rail. This is probably noted somewhere in the PSU specifications list

[MiF]

hmmh... i tookt your opinion about psu ("dont safe money") and i found this

Cooler Master Silent Pro 700W with 115€, good?

I have this one, and I can confirm it's good. I do suggest you go a bit lower when it comes to wattage, 600W or even 500W-550W will do the job.

Stick with CoolerMaster though.

well... there where i am going to buy these parts, are only 2 CoolerMaster psus. and other one is 500W>, i will take this one

but i was wondering, when i read detailed things about this psu.

Mayco, so you got this psu? do it have enough wires?
