System for video editing, NO gaming

[tasoubas]

What about this system?

case: fractal design define R4
cpu: intel core i7-5820k
power: enermax revolution xt 730w
motherboard: ashrock x99 extrem4
ssd: samsung 850 evo 250gb
hdd: 2x WD Caviar Blue 1TB
gpu: Gigabyte GeForce GTX970 4GB ITX
ram: G.Skill Ripjaws 32GB DDR4-2400MHz

Will i need a cpu fun?
Any opinion to save money with a cheaper but better solution?

 

[Random_tech]

it is a good list of parts.
you could go with a 5960x, since it has 8 cores rather than 6 cores.
don't forget you wll need a cooler, since the 5820k doesn't come with one, i recommend a corsair h100i or h100igtx.

 

[tasoubas]

Thanx for the reply!
The 5960x is to expensive! I have to save money. 🙁
So if there is a cheaper cpu cooler it will be great

 

[Jesus_In_Adidas]

if you will overclock it around 5 Gz than maybe a very high quality liquid cooler required. below that - go with a good quality air cooler - much SAFER, double 12c fans. something like noctua or phanteks

 

[sizzling]

I'd also aim for a better quality PSU, 650w is more than enough but with such a high end system which looks like you plan to overclock quality is very important

 

[maddogfargo]

If this is for video editing only, no gaming, WHY do you have a GTX 970 on the list? You could get by with a much less expensive card, even if you use the GPU compute cores for certain software and plugins, etc.

Give the setup below a smooth overclock to 4.5GHz and don't look back. The GTX 750 Ti will allow you run two monitors with a large resolution...

Thank you Sadams!
Will the cpu cooler fit in the midi case?

i found this so i think it ll be ok

Also why the fatal1ty mATX when x99 extrem4 is better value for money?

You could go with a cooler master hyper 212 evo

 

[tasoubas]

So these will be the components!

case: fractal design define R4
cpu: intel core i7-5820k
power: Corsair Builder Series CX750M 80Plus Bronze
motherboard: ashrock x99 extrem4
ssd: samsung 850 evo 250gb
hdd: 2x WD Caviar Blue 1TB
gpu: Gigabyte GeForce GTX970 4GB ITX
ram: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB DDR4-2400MHz
cpu cooler: CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO

The final question before buying them is: will they fit in the case???

 

[Random_tech]

yes, that is good.

Much more expensive and doesn't have a monitor

The E5-25623 actually gives up performance to the i7-5820k. Less L3 cache, two less cores (and their associated hyperthreads), a lower base clock speed, and a locked CPU. ...all for more money. The i7-5820k is the way to go...

 

[Jesus_In_Adidas]

it's not that simple, i've read a lot of threads, where specialists discuss things i didn't get at all, and the pro's are still going for the xeon - you don't give a ... bout clocking. the processor is better in rendering 3d images, better precision with shadows and lighting etc. and they go for ECC ram... it's something i will read some day when i have more free time, but i just wanted to start this discussion, so the OP would investigate this himself and choose what he needs. it's a lot of money and it's wasted if it's not doing it's job. good enough.

 

[Mattz982]

Don't get the 5820K, waste of money IMO, things like the 4790K are better. Get a Xeon, due to the fact that you're not gaming, you don't need any high clock speeds and you can get a 6 core for about £170, focus on cores and RAM more than anything, preferably ECC, but its really damn expensive

 

[Jesus_In_Adidas]

Mattz, the ram in my build says it's ECC. other ECC rams are 1 chip 32 gigs. this is 4x8 and makes it quad channel 😀 does this makes any sense or it isn't how it works 😀

Sorry for not being clear... The Xeon E5 v3 and i7 Extreme are built on the same platform (Haswell Refresh - 22nm). If you look at the link below, you will see that 4 cores + hyperthreading at 3.0GHz will never outpace 6 cores + hyperthreading at 3.3GHz whether overclocked or not. The Xeon E5 has little place outside of a server environment that requires a high clock speed with respect to power demand (note the 105w vs 140w).

This is only a small part of basic information that you're sharing. However, i'm not competent enough to describe existing differences in detail and the effect they have in daily use. Maybe someone else will.

If you don't understand, then perhaps refrain from recommending / commenting. While my explanation was put simply, it is also accurate. Google is your friend...

Why are you so negative or nervous? Why are you pushing it? Let the OP decide and ask additional questions. You gave your opinion based on price and basic number, without, obviously, having any experience with any of these precise modules yourself.

I am pushing it because the OP needs to know the facts. Not conjecture, but the facts. I believe it is you that doesn't understand what is going on or how the technology works. Please don't continue to recommend the E5 lineup of CPUs for a quad core setup...

 

[tasoubas]

Nonetheless, it was an interesting conversation!
Thank you!

 

[Bearmann]

Sadams04 has given you good advice. Think about going with the PSU he recommended or something similar.
