Computer selection

Question

Iron

Completely behind the current trends in computer hardware, so I appeal to the community for help.

Need a computer, budget around 40k. I need Visual Studio 2008\2010\2012 + R#, windows 8 to fly on it, while a browser or even several with a bunch of tabs (30-40), all sorts of pdfs, Word documents, skype etc. will be open. I don’t play toys, I don’t work with graphics, so I don’t need a video card at all, it will be enough built-in. I am sure that you will need an SSD because on all computers with hard drives, starting applications takes a significant amount of time, the studio can boot up to 30-40 seconds. since many applications will be open at the same time, 16 GB of RAM looks quite reasonable, I have big doubts about the processor, on the one hand, the price difference between them is small, so why not take a cool i7, on the other

At work i3 + 8gb ram + some 500gb disk. In principle, it works fine, but the start of applications slows down, compilation slows down, and the subsequent launch slows down, sometimes autocomplete slows down, refactoring etc.

Or maybe buy an entry-level system with the possibility of a subsequent upgrade if there is not enough performance?

In general, I look forward to your advice.

Here is the configuration following the advice of vosi

Intel core i7 3770k 10 010
GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD5H LGA 1155 7 140
KINGSTON KVR16N11/8 DDR3- 8GB, 1600, DIMM, Ret *2 3380
KINGMAX SMU35, 240GB, SSD, SATA III [km240gsmu35] 5 790
Hard drive 3.5" WD AV-GP WD10EUCX, 1TB, HDD, SATA III 2 420
Some kind of cooler 500
Case ATX FOXCONN TSAA-427, Midi-Tower, 500W 2 140

Total turned out 31 380. Like norms, what do you think?

Answer 1

You seem to have already described everything :) What is the question?
Take an intel i7 3770K and a motherboard suitable for it ... I recommend Gigabytes on a z77 chip (for example, GA-Z77X-UD5H - I have such a great thing above the average price category from quality ones)
Memory - well, 16 gig ... well, yes, kingstons or hynixes, you can samsungs ... to which the soul lies more evenly. In terms of frequency - regular 1600 or overclocked 1800 (an increase of 5-7%, all these overclocks are for everyone).
SSDshnik, now OSZ Vertexes 4e rule quite strongly, in terms of price - the middle peasant, in terms of performance - in the tops, in terms of reliability, well, don't forget about backups, the guarantee for them is 3 years. Just like that, they will not break, or the marriage will fall, or ... the arrangement of the stars.
Additionally, take a regular screw (or two or more, for raids), I really liked the green series VDniki, despite the fact that 5K rpm - performance - is quite good (there is an advanced format, 4k sectors and 64 caches). Yes, take a terrabyte, it is the quietest and coldest, you can’t hear it at all.
For the rest: about power supplies, the rule is not to save, take in the price from 100 bucks, 600 watts (suddenly you need a video card for calculations on it?). I have an XFX series 80+ silver, very quiet, does not make noise under load, modular. Set and forget.
Cooling - as you wish, more expensive - Noctua ... quiet and cool well ... yes, make sure that the fan has 4-pin power (not a molex, but a small 4-pin thing) for pwm (this is for controlling the voltage / speed of the motherboard). Cheaper - Akas are quiet (I had no luck with zalmans, they make noise, bastards).
Well, the rest is optional...

Answer 2

I do not undertake to advise, but I will share my observations:
1. The studio collects large projects for a long time, i.e. most likely you will not see an enchanting acceleration of the assembly. I have an SSD and a Phenom 1090T, not God knows what, of course, but there are projects during the assembly of which I have time to take a nap. C++
2. I have 8 GB of RAM, usually 5-7 studios open, foxit reader with a couple of pdfs, opera with 10-20 tabs and photoshop from time to time. Here is a picture at the moment: screencast.com/t/djY65jEaZpw You can see from the screenshot that 8GB is already not enough (!), And 16 is not a panacea (since the peak was 14 with a penny) and this despite the fact that now I am a virtual machine I don't launch. Can you use them

Answer 3

When a year ago I took a hard drive on the aforementioned Rosette - it turned out that the difference between 1tb, one and a half and 2tb is a difference of 200 hryvnia - 20 bucks

Answer 4

If you are not going to drive more than 4.2GHz, instead of 3770K you can take something like xeon e3-1240v2.
