Thread: How does computer set up look?

Initially, I don't recognize anything at all about building a computer and parts wanted. I have somebody putting this all together for me and I'm just supposed to faith that what he is doing is right. I was hoping somebody can look at these parts that I'm about to buy and tell me how it all looks. There seems to be a lot of people here that recognize A LOT about computers.

First, this is a computer that I employ for my business. I do much graphic design and work in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. I also run a software program that lets me access all the products obtainable in the promotional products industry, QuickBooks and Outlook for my email. Most of the time I have all of these operating at the same time and my current computer is always crashing...ALWAYS. I require something that is heading for allow me to run everything at the similar time and yet run fast. I'm also worried that the video card he chooses is going to provide me crappy graphics. What do all of you believe?

That build has you expenses way too much on stuff you don’t require since you aren’t heading for be gaming.

Your build can be completed considerably cheaper without affecting the presentation, particularly, the 790FX board and the 965 are not a good choice, a 785G board and a 955 would be considerably cheaper and not affect your usage.

If you do graphic plan, id says coil for a slightly more influential GPU. The CPU is possibly overkill though.

A 955 or yet just a 720 (tri-core) would possibly do the job.

You have a specific need for the blu ray drive? If you plan on watching blu-ray movies on it, fairs enough. Other than that it’s kind of pointless.

What hunter said about the mobo is perhaps true too, but id says obtain a cheaper mobo/proc combo and put the saved dough toward better GPUs (5770 maybe?)

Hello friends

Core i5 @ microcenter, it's a superior alt for amd phenom II but locating mobo could be solid.

If one was to leave AMD 955 or 965, you might as well perform the Core i5-750, coupled with a decent P55 Micro-ATX motherboard. Since you're not doing gaming stuff, Micro-ATX with a single modern GPU should be good sufficient and could save you some cash. Now, if we were talking about depiction and 3D modeling and such, I might recommend going i7-860 simply for the Hyper threading aptitude. But general graphic restriction should be well with a non-HT quad core.

Sensibly, if you're just doing photo editing type stuff, you don't need anything that fast or higher end.

Depending on which way we leave with this, the 450W power supply may not be sufficient if we start searching any video/graphic cards better than the ATI 4670 you have listed.

Incidentally: Why the 320GB hard drive? Many times you can obtain much larger hard drives for like money.

Thanks for all the fine counsel. Looks like I have a full night of investigate ahead of me.

How do you believe Cyber Monday deals will contrast to Black Friday deals?

The 320GB hard drive is a slighter hard drive but a lot faster. I would be running Illustrator and Photoshop and some of the better programs on this hard drive. The other hard drive is larger (1.5TB) and would be employing for storage of all of my files.

My problem with the present computer I use right now is that, for instance, when I'm designing a brochure or report that has a group of large pictures, the computer runs actually slow, locks up and gives me error messages that I don't have sufficient memory. I presently have a Dell Vostro.

That is factual (The WD Greens run at 5900 rpm IIRC?). Imo, I would not choose either one. I'd go away with 1x 500GB Samsung F3, and 1x 1TB Samsung F3. Or 1x WD Black 640GB and 1x F3. The F3s are some of the faster HDDs out at present.

DDR2 is DEAD/DYING. Get DDR3 RAM and companionable motherboard. Immediately, DDR3 2*2GB is the similar as DDR2 prices. Expect DDR2 RAM costs to augment as manufactures stop producing it and stocks run low.

BUDGET: I'm just annoying to remain it less price if probable. But I will pay what I have to pay to acquire a machine that doesn't lock up and run slow. If you inform me that it will construct something that can run graphic design programs, then so be it. I will pay it. My sanity is value that amount.

Here's a general build for your requirements:

1x 1TB Samsung F3 for storage.

Antec 900, HAF 922, HAF 932, Antec P183.

Corsair 650TX or 750TX or other 600W+ superior quality PSU.

ATI 4750 or 4670 or GTS 250.

i7 920

ASUS P6T SE.

32GB DDR3 1600 from OCZ, Corsair, etc.

1x 500GB Samsung F3 for OS (otherwise you can get a Intel X25-M G2 80GB SSD if read/write speed subjects to you).
