Hi all,
Need advices on my upcoming new system. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Approximate Purchase Date: This month(If there are new upcoming parts in terms of price and performance worth waiting for and are not far away in the future I might wait)
Budget Range: approximately 1500USD+- (Only hardware parts and OS, no shipping needed)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming> Multitasking(1 browser with 50-100tabs> Video/Image Editing> Streaming media> Rendering> Online videos)
Games played: League of Legends, Call of Duty & Battlefield Series
Editing softwares: Maya, Adobe suite
Are you buying a monitor: Yes but it doesn't have to be included to budget range (Would like my setup to have multiple displays, minimum 2 LED monitors 23"+-)
Do you need to buy OS: Yes(OEM)
Please note that if you're using an OEM license of Windows, you will need a new one when buying a new motherboard.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: In Asia Parts & Prices (Please use this site as a guide for parts and prices)
Location: Asia
Parts Preferences: Intel, Asus, NVIDIA
Overclocking: No, but will purchase as a factory overclock version if its worth it (e.g: STRIX-GTX960-DC2OC-2GD5)
SLI or Crossfire: Likely single GPU, but maybe SLI
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
CPU Tower: Not decided, preferably not a full tower
Additional Comments:
(Tower need to have a window to display parts and some bling lights.
I would like to have minimum dust possible.
Staying in a hot and humid place and need maximum cooling because PC needs to run for long hours of editing and gaming.
Therefore I do not know if i need liquid cooling but would find it hard to maintain due to not having the experience.)
Included a list of parts I have already selected ideally but is not fixed and still needs a lot of advice for compatibility and worth durability.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CPU:
Intel i7 (I am a multi tasking freak and do need to use editing software. I also do not know how much core speed I actually need)
Mobo:
Asus H97-Pro Gamer (No overclocking needed but would like to have a factory
overclock if possible, should i go for Z97, maximus, rampage or sabertooth? differences?)
GPU:
Asus GTX960 or GTX970 (Is GTX970 worth the price differences?)
RAM:
8GB or more (Does more ram help in multi tasking I do?)
PSU:
XXX Watt (I have no idea how much i need)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is my Old System which i think the mobo is fried. I also need advice on upgrade this system with the minimum cost needed to get it to work fine again.
