1500 budget 1440p rig

[Thirall]

I would like to have a 1440p rog, the best possoble for 1500 dollars, by friday :/!

I know it is very late to ask but I had already planned a 2000 budget, however my dad refused it. Said it was too much. A friend of mine helped change some parts of the build to around 1500. See if you guys can put it further diwn without loosing too much oerformance, or change to something in the same price range that has better performance . Thanks!

Heres a link to the original build:

Thanks in advance!

1st build.
You can save some bucks by going with the WD cavier Blue instead of Black.
Black just has more warranty,performance of those two are basically the same.

loss in gaming performance = not very much

this video basically represents the performance difference you will have between the two CPUs, I know its not the same comparison but it is similar.

SSD is optional

the PSU you picked wasn't a good model.

 

[timeconsumer]

Drop the Supernova NEX PSU. If you want an EVGA get a B2, G2, or GS. Otherwise you can also look for XFX and Seasonic as reliable brands.

In a budget like this a much better motherboard would be in place. Also a better PSU than that earthwatts model.

For case I would suggest the Phanteks Enthoo Pro M atleast.

Thanks for the quick answer 😀. Any others got reccomendations?

If his dad wants it to be as cheap as possible while still able to run 1440p games, saving about 70$ on the motherboard that will not effect performance is worth it IMO.

The only difference a better motherboard will have is OC which is impossible on a 6500 and a few technologies that he will probably never utilize. Maybe a bit better cooling for motherboard components but thats not necessary if you have OK airflow

I just built this rig for my friend last week. He wanted exactly what you wanted. After rebates and combo's this build was under 1300$. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Bx2R7P

 

[timeconsumer]

If you want to keep the X99 system this would be an option. I wouldn't expect a ton in the overclocking arena, but it will be decent. No rebates included in the price.

or this if you want to save some money on the GPU.

This build vs your original 1500$ build will see very little framerate difference

I7 4790k is better CPU than 5820k,when it comes to gaming performance,cheaper.
Edit : Good for streaming,editing aswell.

 

[Thirall]

Also I do youtube and editing, keep that in mind fir the build .

 

[Seamz]

5820k vs 4790k for gaming AND editing. The 4790k would be a better price to performance buy.

 

[RCFProd]

Perhaps a slightly higher price, but this is what I suggest. Overall a full list of quality components:

Cannot direct refer to an answer on iphone, so copied the text.

My original build was 2000 dollars. Do you mean my friends first edited or 2nd edited build (that was 1500)?

 

[Thirall]

RCFProd that build has the i7 6700k cpu. Thats not that good for editing/streaming.

Also pretty sure I'll rather have the 5280k, editing is better, fps in this vs the 4790k isn't much.

I will in fact overclock if possible, so maybe change something for that. But don't over 1500 please 😉

 

[RCFProd]

Ecfprod that build has the i7 6700k cpu. Thats not that good for editing/streaming.

It is one of the world's best processors for editing/streaming and multitasking in general............

 

[Thirall]

The 5820k has 6 cores = better for editing.
The 4790k has 4 cores. Although a small bit better in gaming itself.

I want to record and edit, which means rendering videos. More cores = faster rendering. Meaning it would render faster with 6 cores (5820k) than 4 cores (4790k).

 

[RCFProd]

I know these things lol, don't have to teach me. I'd pick the i7-6700k with a solid Gigabyte UD5 motherboard over the i7-5820k with the cheapest possible motherboard though. In the end It's your call, but you'll already see very similar performance in rendering/streaming even if the 5820k has 6 cores doesn't mean that every program will actually utilise that. Not in the programs and purposes that you will be using. You'll see similar performance in any tasks you're into, which are likely to not be heavy rendering tasks, because both the i7-4790k/6700k have hyper threading meaning the 8 threads will do enough of a job in video editing.

As I said, I'd prefer a solid solid motherboard. Those are cheaper on the Z97 and Z170 chipset over the X99. Gigabyte UD5 is really good.

Your call in that really but I mean like I won't give you suggestions if I don't know how strong each processor and the benefit of it.

For your purpose you're never going to need more than 4 threads + hyper threading.

 

[Thirall]

The editing/rendering difference in the 5280k and 6700k is noticabilly faster on the 5280k

Most editing programs does take advantage of what the 5280k offers.

Fps wise is like 3-6fps difference, sometimes the 5820k wins over the 6700k aswell.

 

[RCFProd]

I doubt it but ok. It's my opinion.

 

[Thirall]

Okey, so unfortunately I was not allowed to buy this pc rig by my father, he said that the cost was too much that I was allowed to pay for currently. He said that I could probably do it around when I get confirmation (you get alot of money in gifts and such) or perhaps around may. Anyways, thanks alot for the help, I am very appreciative that you guys took your time to help me find out the best possible parts. I will be using your help in the future when I am allowed to buy an expensive computer. Again, thank you so much!
