Building 2 computers at once - would like your thoughts and advice
Hi all - my current asus ddr2 mvp deluxe is basically a toaster for what i want to do and i am building2 new rigs right now . im building an AMD gameing\internet\multi pourpose rig - and a intel workstation. for graphic art - video editing - sound editing - video game creation[black ink - fusion- rpgmaker-and sutch] here it goes...
-AMD
-Parts i have already =
- motherboard - sabertooth 990 fx 2.0 32-gig ddr3 max ram
- amd fx 8320 8 core
- amd ddr3 1866 16 gig 2x8
- memorex dvd writer 24x
- ultra rouge m295 case [ was on sale ]
- multicard reader 4x usb 3.0 front 5.25
- AMD sapphire vapor - x r9-290x 8gb [ multi 50inch 1080p 120 hrtz and possibly 4k displays ]
PARTS PLANNING TO GET FOR AMD RIG
- EVGA supernova 1200w 80plus silver power supply [going to be on all the time]
- ADATA premier pro sp 920 2.5 ssd drive 512gb for os [ Hardware Canuancks raved [for cool canadians] about this thing. and they beat samsung-crucial and almost everyone else for speed ]
- western digital 4tb enterprise drive for storage [ only 48bucks more than the black ]
- 128 gb adata ssd for certian games.
- noctua fans because its going to be on all the time.
- lamptron FC 5v2 fan controller [4 channels - 30 watts per channel - 2 fans per channel]
INTEL WORKSTATION [ going to take a while to gather all the parts for this one but i started ]
- parts i already have
- Thermaltake level 10 snow edition case. [ Very cool - love the design and fits some e-atx boards ]
- pioneer blu ray burner bdr - 2209 [ pretty nice feature wise but not the crazy 180 dollar one ]
- AFT XM-37u photo kiosk. 3.5 inch with usb 3.0 [ 50 bucks at new egg really pretty and neat for photos]
- Cooler Master M2 silent pro 1500 watt [ was on sale for half price on new egg had to snag it when i saw the reviews and these overclockers using it with liquid nitrogen to cool the proccesor in a competetion on you tube]
PARTS I STILL NEED TO GET FOR THE INTEL WORKSTATION
- AS Rock x99 WS LGA 2011-v3 atx-extended
- up to 128gb ddr4 at 2133 with out over clock
- 5x pci express slots 3.0
- 1x pci express stlo 2.0
[ seems like a solid board according to reviews including a decent one on you tube . dude swears its one of the best as rocks he has ever seen and should make a great ws ] [ also it is half the price of the asus ws that compares to it ] plus it fits in my case according to pc part picker. heard it was harder to build from than other brands but im here to learn so its cool.
-procceser - intel core i7-5930k 6 core [ to start ] thanks for catching my goof. def not a xeon
- 64 gb ram 2133 [ can fill it up later want to finish it this decade ] was thinking g. skill ripjaws 8x8gb
- Same hard drive and fan config as other to start.
- 5.25 inch lian li pc 12volt ciggarette lighter adapter with dual rocker switches. [ its at frozen pc and i must have a car cig lighter because with the switches it has to be one of the all time coolest things to do with an extra bay that i have ever seen 20 bucks reg im opting for the 30 buck one from chooseing custom switches and yes you can plug and charge anything that would use a car lighter and it will work like a usb basically provided u have the adapter. seemed better than a drawer for the same price.]
- asus pa 279q 27 inch widescreen led true color monitior . [ true 10 bit color for art and video ]
- wacom [ i really like the thermaltake gameing mouse for art the amount of dpi settings on the fly is fantastic but i reccomend the white metal one as the button started sticking on the blk non metal one from holding it down so much when doing back grounds.] was thinking the 350 or 500 dollar ones because for the price i would rather get one of those and get the true color display than a 1500 dollar wacom.
- fugifilm XT-1 silver [ pics for art ]
- a Tripplite HT10DBS home theater isobar to protect each pc. [ under 100 bucks a piece and they use this brand in hospital rooms]
- AND FINALLY a startech s3520bu33er 3.5 inch 2 bay hard drive inclosure for the workstation. plan to just house 2 4tb western digital enterprise drives for my work not going to mess with raid huge external hard drives are too cheap for me to want to mess with it. [usb 3.0]. these are the slightly newer models they made and are supposed to be pretty solid. 77bucks on new egg. may eventually get 2.
- also i have been using a 2tb wd passport and a 4tb seagate external with my toaster and they have been working well.
- almost forgot wanted advice here too WS video card. im thinking 1 and eventually 2 Titan Zs 12gb of video ram a piece thats pretty good for gameing too sounds great to me. and 2 cost what 1 decent quattro runs for. what do yall think?
DONE!!!!! so yall thats my plan really sorry there are no pics but this is what i can do right now. have been out of pc since the commadore 64 and things ended with an 86 [ about a year after doom 2 ]. came back a year ago and went nuts. also plan to get 2 old rigs going . one specifically for running fallout 3 modded as smoothly as possible and an older rig to enjoy what i missed. very excited about all this and would love any feed back or advice.
