PC configuration, $4000?

Question

Iron

It is possible to spend about 4k dollars on upgrading a PC (buying a new one).
I figured out what I could for this amount:
mother - Asus Crosshair V Formula (sAM3 +, AMD 990FX / SB950, 4 x PCI-Ex16)
video - Asus PCI-Ex Radeon HD6990 4GB GDDR5 (256bit) (830/1250) (DVI, 4 x miniDisplayPort) CPU
- AMD FX-8120 3.1GHz/8MB/2200MHz (FD8120FRGUBOX) sAM3+ BOX
memory - Kingston DDR3-2133 16384MB PC3-17000 (Kit of 4x4096) HyperX Genesis
ssd - 2 x OCZ Agility 3 SSD 60GB 2.5" SATAIII MLC (for raid)
hdd — Seagate Barracuda XT 7200 3TB 7200rpm 64MB
Monitor 24" Dell UltraSharp U2410 (860-10082
)
Can you recommend something else, something to replace ...

Answer 1

iMac 27" Core i7

Answer 2

Definitely change the percentage to Intel, since AMD is hopelessly behind in the processes, especially in the top ones.
Mother would take 6 memory slots.
With vidyuhi now, in my opinion, Nvidia also rules the ball.
From vidyuhi I like zotacs

power supply from 1000 watts, you can look at fsp

Answer 3

Modern video cards from AMD are so powerful and one and a half times cheaper than those of nVidia.
The advantage of the 7xxx series is that there is less power consumption of the graphics chip during idle time (90% of the time).

Answer 4

Maybe I'm missing something, of course, but where does this price come from? a year and a half ago, when new processors from Intel just came out, I collected i7-2600K / 16Gb / 2xGTX580 / 2xSSD 60Gb / 2xHDD 2Tb / 1500W / top mother and case + Akerovsky 3D monitor and 3D glasses for a similar amount.
But six months ago, everything was already much cheaper.
Well, from what I would improve:
2 monitors (1 good, one for the company), or all 3 are possible, but this is already an amateur.
Good bp.
Intel.
SSD in the raid, at least on my motherboard = problems
Video - it seems that there are already 7xxx radeons, you can take a couple, it will be much faster than one multi-chip one.

Answer 5

I hope that you will have a graphics station, and not a place for gaming nerds)))

Answer 6

Power supply - fsp, 1000W, IMHO.
The AMD/ATI config inspires a slight doubt, after all, it is now fashionable to assemble the top configurations on Intel/Nvidia, but most likely you have serious reasons for this.
ssd - here, IMHO, a serious mistake.
Firstly, for ssd, the speed is highly dependent on volume, and especially for ocz. 1 ssd for 120gb on random shallow reading will be 80% faster than 60gb. And 240 is 80% faster than 120GB. Therefore, it makes sense to block the raid on ocz ... well, you will get about the same speed and 2 times less volume.
Secondly, if we talk about speed, then somewhere up to 120GB inclusive, intel 320/510 is faster than vertex-s. Plus, there is an opinion that Intel is generally more reliable.
Therefore, IMHO - intel 510 one disk from 120-160GB, or ocz vertex 3 for 240GB. If you don’t feel sorry for the money, then you can go to the raid :)
Regarding the volume, one more moment - but what is the machine for? Or gaming or for processing all sorts of videos, no? But in this case, 60GB ssd is critically small and just the same sinful for a 4kb computer.
The monitor is definitely ice and super, you can look at the 27 "the same model if you need a larger size.
But the screw, you probably need to look at WD. Seagate somehow, again, left a feeling of not very reliable in recent years.

Answer 7

I would advise to take 2 monitors. about ssd at 120 and i7 percent have already been written

Answer 8

What about a gaming computer?

Answer 9

I also support Intel for the processor and SSD
Motherboard, for example, Asus P8Z68-Vpro - $ 200
Processor - 2600K (required with the letter K) - $ 330
Cooler $ 60 should be chosen based on how much you are going to drive, here in this forums thread .overclockers.ru/viewtopic.php?p=7993199#p7993199 overclocking statistics, you can choose the exact model of the cooler and motherboard.
Taking 2 by 2 hard drives, for example, is better than one by 3. If you distribute tasks well, you will get a good performance bonus.

Answer 10

percent intel, take a beam of two Dells for 30k. put more memory and screws. video a couple of nvidia
in such a budget is easy to invest)

Answer 11

and why the heck, sorry for the expression, you have a computer for $4k???

Answer 12

If you do not indicate for what tasks you need a PC, then you can take any for this amount - in any case, it will turn out to be very, very “cool”. And whether it will be optimized specifically for your tasks is a completely separate question, the answer to which, with such a formulation of the question, no one will give you anyway.

Answer 13

SSD Raid in a mirror, for reliability? Well, I would not risk taking something cheaper than intel.
The processor is a class below the video card and may become obsolete faster. Judging by the tests, in terms of power it is commensurate with Intel for the same amount, despite the spread in the cores. If you take more powerful, then only intel.
BP, here's the calculator: www.coolermaster.outervision.com/index.jsp. I got 650 W.

Answer 14

Well, for example, this:
www.dell.com/us/p/alienware-aurora-r4/pd.aspx? ~ck=mn
Configured with:
Intel® Core™ i7-3960X (Six Core Extreme, 15MB Cache) Overclocked up to 4.2Ghz
High-performance CPU liquid cooling unit
Double 1GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 555 - NVIDIA SLI® Enabled
2TB RAID 1+0 (4x 1TB SATA 3Gb/s) 7200 RPM
and monitor $4100

Answer 15

Take the server type already, just pick up a video card.
