Solved Spec for my new computer

Hi Derek

Hope you are well. I was hoping you would cast your eye over the spec for my next computer. I'm wanting to take a step up in terms of using pro software (esp VP) and trying to future proof as far as the pocket allows. I have used the spec that CeeDee asked for comments on back in April as the foundation (I'm buying from the same place as they are near me) and followed the advice you and mmcswnavy24 gave at the time plus your more recent advice to video guy - and maxed things where I can. This is what I have come up with:

Case COOLERMASTER K350 GAMING CASE
Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™i7 Six Core Processor i7-5930K (3.5GHz) 15MB Cache
Motherboard ASUS® SABERTOOTH X99: ATX, USB 3.1, SATA 6 GB/s

Power Cable 1 x 1 Metre UK Power Cable (Kettle Lead)

I'd be grateful for any comments - particularly anything you don't think is a good idea.

Many thanks

Lynda

I'm anything but an expert in this field and listen with awe but little understanding to what the exoerts have to say but if you are capturing SD video from an SD camera, won't you need a Firewire connection?

Hi Lynda

It all looks good to me

The only thing I would say is to closely look at which CPU Water Cooler you select.
If you need a super quiet system, I would recommend getting a more expensive model that allows for custom cooling settings.
If it does not need to be super quiet, stick to the H60.

I have used 3 different CPU coolers like the design you have chosen, so am familiar with the different options.
Currently I am using a Corsair Hydro Series H110i GT, which comes with Corsair Link software.
This gives you the ability to manually set the Fan Speed an hence reduce fan noise to absolute minimum.
The H60 is still a good unit, however it does not have the ability to manually set the fan speed.

Because I record tutorials, I needed my computer to be super quiet.
If you are not recording videos, the H60 would be perfectly OK.

In regards to Richard's comment, if you needed a Firewire connection, you can buy a PCIE Firewire card that slots into the Motherboard.

Regards
Derek.

Hi Derek

Thanks for your quick reply. I don't need a super quiet fan so will stick to the H60. I tend to do m work using cards so wont be needing a firewire.

Have just put my order in! Looking forward to starting to watch your VP tutorials - and thanks for a very helpful website.

Cheers

Lynda
