Was planning on decent photoshop rig with a budget of 2.5 - 3k
What are the recommendations excluding monitor, speaker?
Prefer to have 16GB ram setup.
Mediocore gpu is sufficient…nvidia preferred.

QUOTE(Cable707 @ Jul 23 2014, 05:34 AM) Intel Core i5 4460 3.2GHz RM589 Thanks for the effort bro.Asrock H97 Pro4 mainboard RM329 Kingston KVR1600MHz 8GB x2 RM478 Gainward GTX750 2GB DDR5 RM460 Antec VP-550P 80+ Bronze PSU RM199 NZXT Source 210 ATX Chassis RM179 WD Caviar Blue 1TB HDD RM174 Plextor M5Pro Extreme 128GB SSD RM329 Lite-On 24x DVDRW RM59 Total - RM2796.00 Viewnet & Idealtech prices. Seems like even 3k also hard to go with i7 setup. If 3.5k would be ok for 4770 + h80i right? |

QUOTE(Human10 @ Jul 23 2014, 04:17 PM) go for xeon, i7 specs (0.1ghz slower than 4770) at i5 price (rm7xx) Yeah. Btw, 4790 out already. In other words, we only suggest i7 when you opt for the unlocked version. If you opt for locked i7 might as well save some bucks and go with xeon. Actually still dilemma between i7 and i5. From most of the benchmark, it seems i5 just slower by not even more than 1 second. Saving that few hundred bucks is good. Probably increase budget to larger capacity ssd and a corsair h80i dont feel like using stock hsf because of the heat under load. |
