PC Buying Guide 2013 - Q4

[Vyom]

Since I wanted to make a general query, I thought maybe I should ask in this thread first, rather than straight away creating a thread.

So, I have to decide on a Video Editing rig. So using Adobe Premiere is a prerequisite. He is starting as a video editor, and would be using a PC to edit his first short movie, after which he would move on to edit various other films, maybe even a professional quality 1080p one.
All I want to know is that what should be the ideal budget for such a rig for only these components together: CPU, Mobo, Cabinet, PSU, GPU, HDD and RAM.
Assuming I already have these: Dell 20 inch LED - IN2030M Monitor, Microsoft KB and Mouse and APC 600VA UPS.

I am not requesting a rig, but on how much strict overall budget can such a rig be assembled, without sacrificing on the quality of the setup. Can we have such a rig around 30k? I know it can be easily done in ~50k, but since he's just starting, a strict budget is preferred.

for 20k, get seasonic s12 ii 520 @ 4k and gtx 660 @ around 15k. never try to install a gpu with his iball psu.

thanks again bud, though which brand gtx 660 ? msi or zotac? and what about the r9 series from AMD is it going to launch a 15k card soon?

 

[ASHISH65]

^ Get from zotac or asus for gtx 660

 

[aby geek]

thanks ashish

so if i am correct we are talking about these two prodcts:
Seasonic S12II 520 Watts PSU - Seasonic: Flipkart.com

ZOTAC NVIDIA GeForce GTX660 2GB 2 GB DDR5 Graphics Card - ZOTAC: Flipkart.com


do tell me if any new Amd card from the r9 series beats 660 or is 760 better?

i suggest you to wait for the gpu. if something better gets launched at the same price,that would be a sweet deal.

Buddy, there is no point of getting a 550W PSU by paying 8.3K, that is useless in your case. For Video editing, opt for a FX-8350 + M5A97 EVO R2.0 + HD 7790 + Seasonic S12II 520 @ 4.5K + Kingston HyperX Blue 8GB X 1 1600 MHz + NZXT Source 210 Elite.
Most of the video encoders and editors are heavily multi-threaded and FX-8350 touches the performance of 3770K in most of the cases. Also now Adobe is adding OpenCL support to all its products and dobe Premiere Pro CC is now coming with OpenCL based GPU acceleration, hence enabling AMD GCN cards to perform better due to their high Compute performance.

Hello everyone

I am in the market for a rig and have a couple of questions on the GPU.

1. Will there be a revision in prices in a few days/weeks taking into consideration the cards launched recently?

2. Which of these will have the best performance to cost ratio- GTX 780, R9 290 and R9 280x. Here I am taking into consideration that if price revision takes place these cards would be a few thousands apart.

Hope my questions are not too vague.
