One thing to keep in mind is the new Coffee lake, if you dont need a dedicated GPU, the iGPU that comes in the Coffee lake should be sufficient, and the 8700K should be a very capable CPU, probably much more capable than Ryzen 1600, that said, intel is clearly more expensive but i feel the extra $$$ invested on the dedicated GPU could go into 8700K, and end up with a very capable CPU with a decent iGPU that will do everything aside gaming, thats if you rendering/editing dont benefit from the cuda core that nvidia offer on their GPUs.
Abula: 1) You want a guy that doesn't feel comfortable unscrewing a couple of hard drive cages to deal with early release cpu/mobo bugs?

2) overkill CPU for his applications.
Mark_Mat:
- the NH-D15 is crazy overkill for a 65W CPU. Plus, I don't know the etailer's practices for shipping...and it's a 1.3kg weight hanging from the mobo.
...also, you need to recognize that audio recording takes very little in the way of resources. The CPu will be nearly idling and use so little power that whatever cooler is on there will be running at minimal fan speed..
- gpu:
1) As Abula pointed out, if your applications don't make use of the gpu for acceleration, and you don't care to game, you could go with an integrated CPU/GPU...but I'd recommend an i5-7600 Kaby Lake rather than i5-8xxx Coffee Lake if you have to build now. If you don't have to build for a few months, then yeah, Coffee Lake should be mature enough/bugs squashed for use.
2) if you do need the horsepower of a discrete gpu for your apps or want to do some gaming, then we can pursue this further. Probably ought to figure out if you need a GTX 1050 Ti or GTX 1050. The two 'Ti's I'd recommend are curiously absent from your etailer's site (Asus Strix 4GB or MSI Gaming X 4GB).
Hi Abula and Steve,
what do you think about following list?
CPU AMD Ryzen 5 1600 WRAITH 3400 AM4 BOX Wraith Spire 80W CoolerI would stick to Ryzen 5 1600 for a couple of reasons.
First of all, the kind of applications I use do massively benefit by multi-cores rather than single core performance and, considering the bunch of reviews online, Ryzen 5 1600 outperforms Kaby Lake i5-7600 when working more as a workstation than as a gaming machine.
As regards the Intel’s beast Coffe Lake 8700k, I cannot unfortunately consider it because I need to build my PC very soon.
Said that, considering Steve’s comment on Noctua being overkill for my setup, why don’t leaving the stock cooler? Reading reviews around, it seems it works great …. I hope it is quite silent. What do you think about that?
MOBO ASUS PRIME X370-PROEven if I am not a gamer, since I am not the kind of guy that either upgrades or change a PC each couple of years, I would like to build a machine that has some longevity and than might let me play some games with no anxiety.
I know I will never equip my PC with multi graphic cards and that I will never make any sort of OC, so an X370 Mobo may seem too much for me, but I like the bunch of connectivity options provided by the Prime X370-Pro, together with the good audio chipset.
RAM CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR4 2X8GB 3000 MHZ C15 (CMK16GX4M2B3000C15)GRAPHIC CARD MSI GEFORCE GTX 1060 GAMING X 3GAfter looking at several online revies and tests, this card seems to be very very quiet and…in case I want to play some games and push myself towards more challenging video editing sometime in a near future, I am already equipped.
This card, quieter than the previous one I indicated in my first list, also let me save something more than 80,00 euros.
What do you think about that?
CASE NANOXIA DEEP SILENCE 3Is there any better option in terms of silence?
PSU CORSAIR RM550XSSD DISK SAMSUNG 250 GB 850EVOI have a question here and please apologize me for me ignorance: is it possible to build a PC with just one SSD internal drive? Isn’t it mandatory to have at least one HDD?
In case it is, I would stick to the 250GB SSD. In case it is not, I would rather choose the 500Gb as suggested by Steve.
What do you think guys?
