Hi guys,
you might know that I've been looking to build a computer for a long time.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ckQLvKhttp://pcpartpicker.com/p/hDzW23After quite a bit of research, I think I'm going to head to that (the above) build.
(Don't worry about peripherals or operating system, I already have that covered.)
I believe the system is very good as it is at the moment; and should be able to run almost any AAA game at ultra with the 970 in combination with 5820k. I'm focused on video editing, effects, and of course gaming. The combo should be able to edit any 1080p footage spectacularly, and should only get really slow during huge layering (at which point overclocking could cover that). The best part about the build is that it's upgrade-able. The case will allow for more hard drives in Raid 5, and the motherboard will support a future 5960x for insane video (not sure I would ever need that, 5820k should be fine), and a GTX 980 ti in the future to supply 4k (and maybe 4k video editing in the future).
The cooler should be good for any overclocking.
It's tipping over my budget, so I'm really banking on this as a good deal. Do you guys have any opinions that you would like to point out? Any tips or things to keep in mind?
Also; I'm looking for a 4k monitor that's about 27-35 inches wide, and at least 60hz. I know the GTX 970 will not run games very well on 4K, but I'm going to be using the monitor for streaming video and using it's 4k space for having more windows open. Price range is about $400-$700.
Thanks!
