I have a water-cooled PC i'm struggling with performance and need to upgrade to more cores. I'm planning on selling it and buying a new larger full ATX PC. Any ideas on price would be great.

What do you think the best approach is to selling these parts? Should I just sell everything individually? Would anyone likely be interested in 780s with water blocks on?

The ram was pretty expensive is it worth much now? Thanks.

The parts are as follows.

i7 4790k @4.8ghx
XSPC Razor waterblock
GTX 780 x2 with water blocks. (can convert back to fans)
32GB DDR3 2400mhz Gskill Ram
Gigabyte GA Z97 Gaming 5 Motherboard
Moded BitFenix Prodigy M Case
Corsair 850W PSU


Many thanks,
Rupert



 
Why not just replace the motherboard, cpu, and ram with an X99 + DDR4 setup? It will drop right into your current system and work with the loop if you have the correct block/mounting hardware.

I am curious what you are doing that requires more than a 4790k at 4.8ghz (certainty there are things that do, i am just curious)

You are going to lose money selling the loop, gpus, psu, and case just to replace it all. Its all good enough to be paired with a top of the line cpu.
 
Cheers,

Maybe ill keep the loop PSU and possibly the 780s, I mostly just need some more cpu power. I also want to try acrylic tubing for my water cooling but I can keep 90% of loop if I move to acrylic.

I edit 6k raw files, and they playback at about 16fps at the moment. And I really want see if I can get it to 24-25 fps as It would make a massive difference to my workflow.

Also I have over 20 lose 3.5"HDDs and it would be good to get a few of them in my case or at least a few newer ones as i'm fed up with docking them/swapping enclosures and using my nas. (I would buy the D900 corsair case)

Thanks for the advice.
 


What software do you use for video editing? If it's Premiere, have you tried using mercury playback GPU Acceleration engine? That speeds up playback quite a bit :)
