Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results
Since I was in a rush, I used a lot of my old PC parts. I went with the intel i7 4770k cpu, Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD3H MB, ASUS 210 Video Card, as well as 16 gigs of 1600 Gskill RAM. I wanted Corsair, but there was none available, so I went with what was available. I also wanted the UD5H, but it was not available either, so I went with the 3H. I also went with a 600W corsair semi modular PSU.
I also went with the Fractal R4 case. It's pretty big, but also super quiet. After using this machine, I am going to update the RAM to 32 gigs, and put in a Quadro Video card as I am doing quite a bit of video work as well these days.

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results
Believe it or not, I still have not touched any BIOS settings other than the RAM timings, and for the first two days, I didn't optimize Windows either!!! This machine is a beast!

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results
Once you install that Quadro card, are you sure 600 W is enough to power everything under load?

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results
No, I don't, but I will pick up another PSU when the I get the quadro card. I will move up to 750W. Again, this was an emergency build, and I could not be happier with the results.

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results
How about this for a start? 'GIGABYTE GA-X79-UP4 LGA 2011 Intel X79 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard'. My i7 has bit the dust! What are the thoughts of an lga 2011, as compared to the lga 1150?
Thanks,,,,, Mike

2011 socket is quit a bit more powerful than the 1150. At least 30% or more. It's not going to have the newest technology on it though as it's a generation behind.

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results
Also most socket 2011 boards also can run xeon E5-2600 processors. If you have the money those have up to 12-cores. Same procs they're using in the new Mac Pro I do believe. So yes socket 2011 for max potential power. But most any modern 1150 or 2011 based rig should be pretty impressive.

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results
Thanks guys, I had read somewhere about SSD's not always up to par, (for the price). Thanks albee1952, I'll check that Samsung out. In the few days of research, I have noticed the 6 core is priced a lot higher (percentage wise, for what you get), than the SSD's?! Does PT's utilize those 2 extra cores (6 core), enough to validate their cost, and with the same idea, does the SSD speed things up enough to justify their cost? As for the ram, the board I mentioned above, with 8 slots, will give me the opportunity to start with 4 x 4's for now, and then a little later, another set of 4. Although ram is still so cheap, depending on SSD and or 6 core choice, it might be best to go ahead with all 32 right off the get go?!
Thanks guys,, always great info, Mike
