Also, right now it takes me a couple of hours to render about 25 minutes of 1080p video with this Pentium D 3.4 GHz.
Any idea how long it would take to render about 25 minutes of 1080p video with the i7? EDIT: It's getting late around where I live. I'll check back tomorrow. |

If you use software that takes advantage of Quick Sync video, it should take a minute or two, maybe less. If you haven't committed to a platform yet, I'll go ahead and tell you that an i7-3770K and a Z77 motherboard may be the better option. I'm usually one that recommends the newest platform available, but I'm not sold on Haswell yet. Ivy Bridge will still be so much faster than what you are using now, it'll absolutely blow your hair back. What do you have in mind for the rest of your build? Do you have a budget you need to stick to?

Yea Kelly I didn't want to mention this too the Op but I feel the 3770k right now is the more bang for your buck and there a little cheaper and better at overclocking from what I have been seeing |

I'm cool with using a 3rd gen i7; I was just trying to get the newest, mostly top-of-the-line parts so I could use my computer for years.
Because people were wondering, here's my build so far, and I'd love to keep it under $1500, but the lower the better: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/TheShadbusher/saved/2ex9 With the 3770K and the Z77: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/TheShadbusher/saved/2eFr |

If you are going with Ivy Bridge, here's what I would get:
i7-3770k Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo---Unless you want to go to a closed loop water cooling system Asus Sabertooth Z77---Or any other good Asus Z77 board 2x8GB RAM kit @ 1600MHz---If you aren't doing heavy rendering you can get away with an 8GB kit Nvidia GTX 760 Video Card---Don't SLI low-mid level graphics cards, a higher end card will always work and perform better than 2 lower end cards Samsung 840 SSD---Either get this, or the 840 Pro/Evo model for your OS, Programs and applications Seagate 2-3 TB HDD---Use this for your storage of documents, pictures, videos, music, etc SeaSonic X650 Gold/660XP2---Either one on sale is about $100 and extremely high quality(don't skimp on your power supply)<--- Really just a placeholder as anything high quality will work. Your case of course is more personal, but get something with 120/140mm fan mounts and good airflow. Corsair, Fractal Design, Antec, and NZXT all make great cases. If you have to buy fans, NEVER buy fans less than 120mm. Fans smaller than that have no business in a modern PC anymore. Most of the time, you can buy fans after you build the PC(if you need them) Just eyeballing, that looks to be under $1500 give or take.......of course that is always subject to change. |

Hmm no great expert but have just stuck the Coolermaster Hyper 612 in my Ivy after the Intel LC failed and it is holding rock steady.
As for the rendering and stuff I am a dunce but if I were up for the money I would go with Solar and stick with the i7 Ivy B. For RAM try the G Skill forum Tradesman is really good at advising what to configure it with once you have chosen the board of course. Welcome to the G.SKILL TECH FORUM ![]() |
