PC buying discussion

[furiousTaher]

i will probably buy new pc later this month or next... budget around 60k(after i sell my current setup or give it to my brother) for cpu mobo ram ssd cooler ups casing. but i wanna spend less as possible.

purpose: gaming and unreal engine editor, sometimes blender/3dsmax

so let me know which products are better and warranty policy(replacement vs stupid service) of different shops.


CPU- 6700k 28.5k

Motherboard- i dont want to spend more than 13k for z170. lets discuss warranty and bios stability/overclockablity.

gigabyte z170 hd3 ~13k
msi z170m mortar 12k
asus z170 p 13.5k

which one is better? i am gonna overclock to 4.4-4.5k ghz


ram- gskill ripjawv 16gb 3200mhz is 8.5k right? or is it over 9k? there is not significant loading time differenc between trident and ripjaws right... for justifying spending 11.5k over tridentz?


ssd-

corsair gives only 1 year warranty right? so whats better between samsung evo 850 250gb vs adata sp550 vs adata xpg vs transcend vs twinmos? i dont wanna spend much for ssd. so if a 7.5k ssd performs close to 9k ssd i will take 7.5k.
twinmos ssd has only 1year warranty dont they? :\
no intel ssd below 9k in BD right?

durability and customer service are major issues here.... ssd failure rate is still 'high' (though failure rate dropping significantly for last 2 years).


ups-
power guard 1500va is 6.5k... is there any 1500va good ups out there?

who imports mercury? where can i find mercury ups? mercury is the best ups out there right?

whats the warranty policy for these ups?


also... are those ups which use square wave bad? only sinusoidal wave is good or is it just an unproven theory?


cooler- where are all those antec and other water coolers... :\

whats the best cpu cooler around 5k? cm seidon 120 ? or hyper 212x/tt frio silent air cooler will be enough for 4.4ghz i7?
55~60C will be fine for my cpu i dont wanna ultra cold at 25C and spend 12k on cooler -_-


casing:

for casing 320mm gpu slot and 2xusb3.0 and 2 good fan slots on topside are must...

my eyes on phantom 240 but i wont have that money... so i am thinking about carbide spec2/3 or something like that... tt n21 doesnt have 2 usb3

cm k380 only have 1 usb3 but it priced very low for a 320mm cpu...

anybody who knows the price of goldenfield 7625by or 7623 or 6808 casing(excluding psu) in global bd let me know... though i dont think they have 2xusb3... and whether they support 320mm gpu is unknown

about buying x99... i wanted to buy x99 but problem is x99 mobos are pricey... gb ud3 x99 is 170$ in newegg but in bd its still 20k... and people say that bios has lot of problems so i cant buy x99 unless i can get it cheap

[minitt]

@furiousTaher u know far better than most bg users when it comes to bd computer market.

I think the extra price is worth it if your main purpose is blender/3dsmax.

[Ehsas]

Will your main purpose be 3d modelling or gaming?

unreal engine will be main purpose... 3d modelling not that much... but i will have to do it from time to time... nothing too intensive in rendering... though i wont be editing low poly model... from medium high to high poly models... sometimes

why? do they have faulty bios in z170 series too?

i am not fond of the pcie setup of msi z170mortar either. on the otherhand asus z170 doent have 6 channel audio, has fewer usb ports on back (though it has a type c usb)

[kaziishan]

Gigabyte has real finnicky bios for their z170 stuff. Here's some thought from Tiny Tom Logan.

[minitt]

asus probably has the most solid UEFI implementation so far.

bump.



. why did they stop importing asrock motherboard?

nobody importing mercury ups anymore right?

For the SSD, check this > http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...sd,4296-3.html it compares the read/write speeds of different ones including the ones you included so will be of help.

As for Unreal engine, are you looking to mod on it or develop? and for medium and high poly models an i7 6700 will be more than enough. for motherboard get ASUS Z170-K. if you want to spend more though then get ASUS Z170-A or AsRock Z170 Extreme 4+

[furiousTaher]

:O

although comcity doesnt have cheap z170, but their 11.3k priced h170 mobo looks like their z170 :v

ya seems like samsung evo is always best...

but i wonder why evo 850 sata 3 is better than evo 850 m.2 ... i guess the ssd doesnt utilize m2 slot -_-





develop and mod both.... i mean... you mean modding through unreal editor like ark survival right? -_- just assume develop.


thnx for the tip. but isn't z170-p enough(for stable ocing to 4.4)? coz i dont like spending much on motherboards

[Ehsas]

yes z170p would be enough for a stable oc of 4.4 but get the K instead, it only costs very slightly more and you will get Sata Express and USB 3.1 type A and C. and yup for that type of development a 6700 will be more than enough you won't need the 5820k.

[furiousTaher]

seems like global will sell E3 PRO GAMING V5 xeon at 13.8k ...

question 1- this supports 6700k right?
2- bios stability good?
3- is 1230 v5 xeon available in BD?

oh wait... xeon is not overclockable :'( sigh

[furiousTaher]

how to protect myself from getting scammed/refurbished products from BD electronics stores?

also, mercury ups not available in BD?


finalizing list


i7
z170-p

power guard
phantom 240
850 evo
cm seidon
sony dvd writer not available in ryans... so i guess i have to buy asus dvd writer?

[furiousTaher]

bump.

is cm 212 hyperx enough for 4.5ghz overclock? i dont want to spend 5k for cm seidon, i already have a cm 212
