Hello Everybody !
I want to build a computer that will be used for programming ( macro, visual studio, C++, java, etc ),
compiling, dealing with graphics and design, working on big programs ( Adobe Masters Suite ),
multitasking. But no gaming !
My planned build looks like this:
Processor ( i7-3930K )
CPU Cooler ( Noctua NH-D14 SE2011 )
Motherboard ( Asus RAMPAGE IV EXTREME )
RAM ( G.SKILL DDR3 4x4GB 2133MHz CL9 RipjawsZ )
Hard Drive ( WD 1 TB, 64 MB, 7200 RPM, WD1002FAEX )
SSD Drive ( Samsung 840 Series, 250GB )
Graphic Card ( Asus 680 GTX )
Sound Card ( Asus Xonar Essence STX )
Optical Drive ( Asus BW-12B1ST )
Case ( CoolerMaster Cosmos II )
PSU ( Corsair Professional Series Gold AX850 )
What do you guys think about this build ? Is it too powerful for the stuff that I will be doing ?
Do you recommend me to take out some components and add some other ones ?
In my opinion, I think that the processor i7-3930K is too powerful even for the stuff that I will be doing.
I was thinking about the i7-3820. Second thing, the PSU power.... was thinking about dropping it till
650 W. Third thing, the GTX 680 graphics card...also thinking that it's too powerful... might go with
the GTX 670. And the last thing is the motherboard - Asus Rampage IV Extreme... planning on
switching to Asus P9X79 Deluxe.
I would appreciate everyone's replies to help me finish this build.
