Computer parts.

Made one for Youtube, and one for gaming, now to start another project, and combine them. What should I add to this computer? It is the same as the one I bought earlier, only costs $400, that I later made into a gaming pc.







Want to make this a gaming, and Youtube computer. Hold at least 3 Rs clients, 3 Rsps clients, and still have room to do videos on Youtube and make graphics work. Please make a list of what I would need to enhance it to a great computer. Newegg, google, or Ebay would be best links for me if you want to link me instead of list the products name.

 

So, do you want suggestions on what to get to build this PC? or?

 

Yes, and if a member from here is selling the specific part I would be more then glad to purchase it.

 

You would need to completely re-build it. You can keep the case, and depending on the PSU watt that too. So you want to be able to run 3 RS + 3 RSPS (6) at the same time, while being able to do video editing/graphics related work? What exactly do you do regarding video/graphics, simply rendering, editing, and what programs?

I can help you choose the parts, but I need to know a budget as well.

 

Sounds like you have high ambitions/expectations. I would honestly just scratch it and start from the ground up. Your processor won't handle what you want to do. I'd suggest an Intel Sandy or Ivy Bridge processor (something like the 2500k or the IB equivalent), 8-16GB of RAM (depends on preference really, 8GB is fine for most applications, but RAM is cheap enough to where 16GB is feasible on a decent budget now), and something like a GTX 660 Ti for your video card. You could go for a last generation card if you want to save a bit of money but the new cards really do offer a lot more performance than their previous generation counterparts (660 Ti is miles above the 560 Ti etc)

 

I ordered a Sandy something or other i7 processor. Is all this going to be hard to setup? My budget is near to endless, as I will buy about $400 of the parts each paycheck.

 

You ordered a i7 processor to replace the amd apu? The i7 sandy bridge or ivy bridge have either a LGA 1155 socket or a LGA 2011 socket. You can't just put an i7 into FM1 (or other AMD sockets). You'll need a whole new motherboard (but you can get a decent one for like $60).

You should also probably get a discrete graphics card. Some cheap/value ones are GTX 550 ti and Radeon hd 6850 (both great).

8GB of ram costs nothing these days, you might want to consider upgrading (*might* not be needed though).

I don't know how many watts your current PSU has, but you might need an upgrade if it's only like 350W or something (depends if you will be using a discrete graphics card or not).

So... you might as well rebuild, lol. You can reuse the case, ram, cd drive if you have one, and hard drive. SSDs are nice too, but probably unnecessary.

 

Thank you. What does SSD do?

 

It's stands for Solid State Drive. You use it the same way you would use your traditional hard drive, except it has no moving parts and it amazingly fast. You can easily find an SSD with read and write speeds in the 500MB/s range. With an SSD you will have better start up time, better over responsiveness, and increased performance in games (mainly games with large textures such as mmorpgs are effected, though), and of course, better read/write speeds. They are considerably more expensive, though.

If you want to save money, you can get like a 60GB or 120GB SSD and use it for the OS and main programs you will be using, and use a mechanical hard drive for storage and other applications.

 

That sounds lovely, thanks.

 

So what are you trying to accomplish?
From what I remember from our PM's a while ago, you already had these two computers-



and this -

So I guess my question is what are you trying to do with this third one?
The first computer you bought for youtube videos can easily do all the things you want to do now.

I can definitely help though, just drop me a PM or post here and I will do my best.
