From what you've said, I'd recommend an I7 3770k, GTX 680, and a 256 or 500gb SSD.
Also, you only really need 16GB of RAM for ANY application.
wouldnt be 32GM RAM better for video converting and editing in 1080p resolutions ?

Moreso for 2k and 4k resolutions.

For 1080p, its a good bit of overkill.
I guees i pass with the GTX690 and take a 680 in case it shouldnt be enough in the future im still able to buy a second 680 what makes the same price as a 690 and even a bit more performance.
better use the money for a 516 GB SSD

I would actually recommend getting a 256 GB SSD and more 2 TB drives.
That would be better for video editing.
I allready got 2 external 2TB drives so with the 2 TB in the new comp it would be 3 times 2 TB.

Alright then.

Maybe buy a nice cooling system?
what would be the best choice?
normal cooling system or a water cooled system

You only really need the I7 at 4.5 ghz, so its whichever you prefer.
Looks like you guys have been busy, time for me to chime in.

SSJVeggeto Wrote:wouldnt be 32GM RAM better for video converting and editing in 1080p resolutions ?

Unless you're planning on converting videos in batches of 4+ videos at once, no. 8GB is far beyond what 99% of applications need under any scenario. 16GB is professional level, this is about how much RAM you want for high end 3D rendering and such. 32GB would be ideal for a high end server running 8-32 VMs. It is absolutely insane to have 32GB of ram in a consumer desktop rig, you are wasting money for no good reason.

8GB should be plenty. I've never gone over 5GB of memory use doing video encoding with any codec, bitrate, resolution, or framerate.

If you want 16GB get it, it doesn't cost that much more than 8GB but you don't need it. Don't even bother with 32GB.

Obviously if you can afford it, water.

Are the external drives running off of esata or usb?

I only know of two games that don't reach 60+ fps average at max settings on a GTX 680, and both of them are still able to maintain high framerates (metro 2033 and crysis 2 if you're wondering). What on earth do you need dual GTX 680 4GB editions for!?!?! It seems silly to waste absurd amounts of money and deal with the headaches of SLI for no tangible benefit.

werewolfyman Wrote:How much did the PC that you wanted to buy cost?
Ivy Bridge is about 10% faster.

Fixed that for you. Technically it's 5-15% depending on the applications but for most applications it hovers around 10%.

Fixed that for you.

Let me just make this perfectly clear to you. You're trying to build a supercomputer instead of isolating the problem. While this will fix the performance issues that you're having it's also extremely wasteful and you will end up spending a lot more money than you have to for no real benefit or very little benefit. Your design boils down to "fuck it, I'll just upgrade everything as high as I can". If you're doing this to try and stay on the bleeding edge in order to extend the lifespan of your PC, don't. It's stupid to spend several times as much money on slightly better hardware that will have little or no benefit when hardware becomes twice as fast every 1-2 years anyways. It's going to be obsolete before you blink no matter what you do. If you do the math doubling or tripling the cost of the system might allow you to squeeze an extra year out of your system, is that really worth it?

Like everyone else here suggested here you really should consider building your own PC.

SSJVeggeto Wrote:I need it for dolphin because multiplayer needs much more performance than single player.
I still play games like battlefield 3 or other games with high grafics.
recording some gameplay with Fraps takes also much performance when you record and play in 1080p.
photoshop and Sony vegas and magix to convert and edit movies and pictures.
and i want that this computer will work with new games in the future.
I dont want to buy a new one for the next 5 years

A GTX 690 will not improve performance over a GTX 680 for any of those. And you're not going to notice the performance difference between a GTX 680, GTX 670, and GTX 660 TI.

A 3930K or 3770K will not improve performance over a 3570K for any of those except video encoding.

I agree with werewolfymans original recommendations:
werewolfyman Wrote:First of all, GTX 660.
16GB RAM
I5 3570k.

Those are about the specs you should be aiming for. If you really want to spend some of that extra cash on something treat yourself to a GTX 670 instead of a GTX 660 and a 256GB SSD.

If you're really serious about getting videos to encode as fast as possible you might be able to justify the 3770K, but definitely not a 3930K.

SSJVeggeto Wrote:i need the SSD only for some progs and my windows all other things are on my external or internal harddrive.
If i would play a game from SSD instead of the normal harddrive will it make a big difference ?

No. It might speed up the loading times for levels, that's it.

SSJVeggeto Wrote:so Intel and Nvidia are the stronger one

They're brands, not products.

You can say that X product is faster than Y product. But you cannot say that X brand is faster than Y brand because you would then have to consider all of the products offered by both brands. So you cannot make such a generalized statement.
