Ok, so for those who read my blogs, other than Shianova and maybe few others, in my latest entry I've posted a possible final build for my PC. It's an all out Intel/Nvidia setup, however Shianova suggest an all out AMD setup.
I'm posting 2 possible final builds for the PC I'll buy.
1st build: NVidia/Intel
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670k, quad core, 3.4MHz, 6MB Cache, 84W
GPU: MSI GTX770 GAMING, 4GB DDR5, Core clock 1137, Mem. clock 7010Mhz
RAM: 16GB DDR3@1600MHz (2x8GB) Corsair Vengeance PRO
MOBO: MSI Z87-G43 GAMING
PSU: Corsair AX Series 760W 80+ Platinum, fully modular
CASE: Coolermaster HAF-X
Costs - 1335 euro
2nd build: AMD
CPU: AMD FX-Series X8 8350 4.0GHz, 16MB, 125W, 8 core
GPU: Sapphire HD7970 OC Boost, 3GB DDR5, Core clock 950MHz, Mem. Clock 5700MHz
RAM: 16GB DDR3@1600MHz (2x8GB) Corsair Vengeance PRO
MOBO: Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3
PSU: Corsair AX Series 760W 80+ Platinum, fully modular
CASE:Coolermaster HAF-X
Costs - 1270 euro
What I'm looking for from this PC is:
- to last a minimum of 5 years (my current PC is 7 years old and can still play games like BF4 and Crysis 3)
- to be fast and efficient for programming and, later on, game developing
What I'd like to know is:
- how huge the performance difference between these two builds is, when and if overclocked
- all other ups and downs regarding both systems and related hardware
I'd also like to ask that you keep things civilized, I don't need or want fanboy flame war, I want facts and honest help here. The price difference between the builds means nothing to me. I'm also open for suggestions about other hardware, but keep in mind that I live in a backwater country where I can barely get my hands on a platinum PSU.
Thank you all in advance.
