Hello, I'm new here on Tom's and I have to say this is the best Forum around, I'm so impressed with the quality all around.
I am putting together a video/editing, graphic design build at the moment, but I also want to be able to play some games, so my choice has favored the 2011 CPU and Motherboards. I won't get too much into hardware specifics since it may all be irrelevant anyways. I don't do any 3-d rendering right now but it would be nice to have the ability, since I have a Graphics/Sign business. I work with Photoshop, Corel X-6 mainly and some Signware. I also have an HD video cam that I render a lot in Vegas and Premiere. I'm also an artist and do my own artwork, I have a Wacom HD 24" Pressure sensitive Tablet where I do my creations.
My question is (in regards with my build), should I consider a platform for a Hi-end build on the Intel 2011CPU and boards or wait for the release later in this year for the new Intel Haswell-E? I've heard speculation that the 2011 platform will not be advancing any further than it is presently, which means it may have reached it's plateau for potential?
Personally I would rather not spend that kind of money on hardware if this is the case, where as it may make more sense to just build with the Haswell Ivy Bridge i7 4770K which will do the same job I want anyway at marginally less cost than the 2011 we have at the moment.
To give an idea of the performance I'm after, I'm looking at Rampage Black MB and i7 4930k and a Gigabyte 780ti Ghz series graphics card for the main core. All totalled it could reach $5000.00 quite easily with hi end hardware I like and I never like to go cheap unless performance is justified not compromised!
If I could find just as good performance except for the ram advantage/bandwidth of the 2011 boards I think I would sway towards Haswell 4770K overclock especially if Haswell is progressing into the future and maybe DDR4 ram may be entering the equation also. 32 Gb of decent ram isn't cheap!
If anyone has a build that would compete with the Rampage Black and the 4930K on the Haswell i7 4770K platform please let me know and any advice on the new up coming release this year that may adversely affect any money spending decisions right now.(Patience may be the key).
thanks!
Mike
