• $1,100 dollar build, need help with parts.
    10 replies, posted
So my computer recently blew out its PSU and after I get it fixed (45 dollars since I'm doing it myself) I will have a working system that is horrendously outdated, so I was thinking why not go further and upgrade to a whole new computer. This will not be my first build, but it has been a very long time since I have done this so I need a little help with possible bottlenecking parts. I do video editing and it currently takes aprox. 9 hours to render a 30 minute bit in 1080p, which is totally unacceptable so I decided to go with an amd 1090t black edition thuban processor. I also love a variety of games, all of which tear my CPU a new one but aren't exactly very GPU heavy but I would like to play games like Just Cause 2 at a solid 30 FPS. My budget is as it stands, $1,200, and I live in the USA. Part list : Case : XCLIO WTBK ADVANCED Fully Black Finish Steel / Plastic ATX Full Tower Computer Case Mobo : ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO/U3S6 Processor : AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition Thuban 3.2GHz PSU : Rosewill BRONZE series RBR750-M 750W Modular GPU : XFX HD-577A-ZNDC Radeon HD 5770 XXX Edition 1GB 128-bit DDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDD : Western Digital Caviar Black WD6401AALS 640GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Memory : CORSAIR DOMINATOR 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMD4GX3M2A1600C8 Thanks in advance for any constructive criticism.
You might be better off with an i7 for the rendering
Yeh for that budget you can probably easily get an i7 920 + ATi Radeon 5850, 6GB Rip Jaw ram, Samsung SpinPoint f3, you'll need a better case, XCLIO are pretty cheap, and rosewill are great for budget PCs but you need to get a decent Corsair one or something
Get a i7 when you are on that budget. Do as this guy say.

Ill do a build for you quickly
for that budget, and for that purpose, id stay with the thuban. it supposedly spanks some of the i7's out now, and is quite affordable. also, id try to fit the 5850 in there somewhere. some of the newer adobe products support hardware acceleration. and buy as much ram as you can afford and fit, but im sure you know that already going into a render box. but i digress. i got kind of a laugh out of this thread as i do with all 1k builds. because thats how much i payed for my i7 980X alone lol.

Okay, as far as I can tell an overclocked thuban is quite a sum better than the i7 920, even overclocked to the same frequency, for about 20 dollars more. So I think I'm going to stay with the thuban for now, I will post an updated build shortly, just have to iron out a few things first. I will definitely try to fit a 5850 in there somewhere though.
No its not. Get a 920 You'd be a fool
The i7 is way better clock for clock
