It is time for me to upgrade. I don't have a big need to upgrade
other then it would be nice to encode things faster but it has been
four years. The last time I did this was in Oct 08 and I built around
an Intel Q9650. At the time everything I read said the I7 would be
arriving the following year and motherboards were far and few between
and I thought the I7 being new to the table would be a lot more money
then the Quad cores. I was wrong about all of it and I am worried
that I might be making the same mistake this time.Six core Ivy bridge
is probably just around the corner. Although I don't know that I
would actually benefit from a Ivy bridge setup over a Sandy bridge.
For now I have come up with
Thermaltake Level 10 GT VN10001W2N No PS Full Tower Case
PC Power and Cooling S75QB 750W .. which I allready have.
ASUS P9X79 DELUXE LGA 2011 Intel X79 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel
Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
Intel Core i7-3930K 3.2 1 LGA 2011 Processor - BX80619I73930K
32 GB of CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3
12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10
I am currently using a couple of Sapphire 5700 series video cards but
I am thinking about switching to a single Nivida because I use
TMPGEnc products that are built to use NVIDIA CUDA decoder. I need a
Nivida card that is capable of driving a 30 inch and two 24 inch
monitors and HDMI simultaneously ... any suggestions?
Greg and Chris I would appreciate some feedback on this. You guys are
always on the cutting edge of hardware. Should I hold out to the
first of the year or will it matter.
thanks
