build for a multi-porpuse computer?

[Jengotiger]

Hi there!

I need a computer that I can use for work (video edition) and for gaming, as far as theory goes, it shouldn't be a problem, though I'm a bit too clueless when it's about pc parts, so, I'm looking for advise because I'm not sure what I'm doing...

I looked around the site first and saw someone using this site so, I'll use it as well hope I choose right:

this is what I choose, taking in mind that I might need something bigger later, like more ram or a bigger (or faster?) processor without feeling that I'm throwing the house by the window (I might even need to buy different parts here where I live, but that shouldn't be an issue)

I might (or not... depending on how complex this sounds) build it myself

Thank you for your time!

What is your budget, and do you need peripherals?

If you want to future proof your computer as much as possible, do not go with that motherboard as 1155 will not be supporting future CPUs while 1150 will be.

looks quite good, but I have been through really bad experiences with gigabyte mother boards, some how they seem to never work for me (after returning 3 computers with a gigabyte motherboards I had enough)

and regarding my bucket... around 1500 would be ideal (or less, if possible, to have it asap, things like 16gb more ram can be added later) as for the cooler, I need something as silent as possible, if water cooling system is more silent I'll go for it

If you are good at installing water cooling:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1588614 ($1,300 w/ $100 discount) I recomend adding 8 more gb of ram

No water cooling, but $1000 with the fancy newegg discount:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1592374 (I reccomend downloading 8 more gb of ram

Its gonna look badass when you put it together:

Ehm... no... where did you get that from? Broadwell will have it's own socket.

I have this suggestion: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3iKgq

 

[CTurbo]

Why do you recommend those parts StoneKany? Just curious why you would recommend 3rd gen Intel when there's no savings there, and then a Z77 motherboard with a cpu that does not have an unlocked multiplier?

 

[Guest]

I suggested a third gen in case you want to save some money (I also used this link before and didn't think about change the CPU). Why do you say it do not have an unlocked multiplier?

Just upgrade the MB and CPU to the 4th gen.

Edit:
Here goes a different building: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3iKRB

 

[CTurbo]

Only the models with a K at the end have unlocked multipliers. Like the i5 2500k, i5 3570k, and i5 4670k. I agree that sometimes going with a 3rd gen can save money, but not at the moment.

what's the difference between i7 and xeon E3?, I thought that i7 was the best?

what's the difference between i7 and xeon E3?, I thought that i7 was the best?

The e3-1230v3 is a re-badged i7 4770 without integrated graphics which you don't need anyway. The only catch is you can't overclock it, but you save almost $80 over the 4770k, and then you don't need to buy an aftermarket cooler, or expensive Z87 motherboard. Total savings is about $230.
