DIY: Recommend me a build.

[pinky867]

Need: CPU, Mobo, RAM, GPU, SSD and Case.
Have: CX430M PSU.
Usage: Graphic Work(Adobe). No Gaming.
Budget: $1000 or less?

Please help, Thanks.

 

[ZrE0_Cha0s]

is your graphic work heavy or light? (means required high processor and more rams etc.)

 

[pinky867]

No Video editing and 3Ds but I'll use Adobe Premier, After Effects, PS and Flash.

 

[singupingu]

These uses gpu as well. It will utilize the Cuda cores from a nvidia gpu if it is available during rendering (in premier pro case at least)

Can up your budget to 1.5k?

CPU: i5 6400
SSD: Samsung 120GB 750 EVO
RAM: Kingston DDR4 PC4 2133 8GB
GPU: ??? (Suggestion?)

Inclusive of Windows 10 OEM, should be around $700+(not inclusive of GPU)?

Opinion?

Pls ask the shop to flash the latest bios for the mobo to support Intel 7000 series processor. Otherwise bring to the distributor to do it for you.

There's a limited budget. 4gb vram gpu is good for high resolution editing. Speed may not be the best, but better than running with Intel HD.

MSI B250i gaming pro carbon (additional $93)
Ask the shop if they can update the bios for you for H110i, you can save quite a bit rather than getting the B250i. Lol

I'm using Windows 10 from carousell. Don't see my windows deactivated yet. Hahaha

Thanks for your input, very much appreciated.
Maybe I cut down here and there and I can get a ASUS GTX 1060 3GB DUAL.

You won't see big difference if you're doing photo editing with gtx 1060. You would prefer the higher gpu vram capacity for cache purpose.

Unless you would be doing video editing, then ya, gtx 1060 will be better. Notably during rendering.

Keep the 16gb ram. Lower it to 8gb won't do you any good.
