PC build advice
Posted: Thu Sep 06, 2012 7:27 am
Hi,
This is my fisrt post here, and I would like to have your advice as my first criteria for my new pc build is the silence.
(It will be located in the living room)..
I will use it mainly for photo processing/editing (probably Lightroom or Photoshop), and for video editing (I don't know yet which SW).
Later, I could also have to extend its usage to gaming, as my kid will get older (he is 4 at the moment).
So, here is my build :
- Casing : Fractal Define R4.
I've also heard about Lian-li PC-B12 which is marketed as "silent", but not reviewed yet.. (as far as I know)
- PSU : Seasonic X-serie 560W
Maybe a Corsair AX series would be enough and better value ?
- Mobo : Asus P8Z77-V LE
- CPU : Core i7 3770K
- CPU cooler : Be Quiet ! Dark Rock 2
- RAM : 2x8 = 16 Go DDR3-1600 PC12800 Corsair
- SDD (for W7+ SW + working area) : 128 GB SATA SSD Samsung 830 MLC
I am also tempted by the IBM 330 series (180GB)
- HDD (for storage) : 3 To SATA WD Green 64 Mo cache
Any comments are welcome.
As you can see there is no Graphic card. Someone recommended me to include a Nvidia Graphic card as LR takes benefit of CUDA, but I was wondering what would be the real benefit.
Thanks
